ABOUT TOP SHELF

Local, owner-operated plumbing and heating craftsmanship

Top Shelf Plumbing & Heating was built around a simple standard: understand the system, explain the options clearly, and complete work that can be serviced and trusted.

MEET THE OWNER

Greg Jacobowitz, licensed master plumber

Greg works directly with Top Shelf customers from diagnosis and planning through installation, startup, and final testing. That owner-to-customer communication keeps the scope clear and makes the person recommending the work accountable for how it is completed.

His specialty is the piping and control work that makes steam and hydronic heating systems perform correctly. Top Shelf also handles water heaters, residential plumbing repairs, repiping, fixtures, pressure problems, filtration, gas piping, and deteriorated cast-iron drainage piping.

Technical service pages and homeowner guides on this website are written or reviewed by Greg using hands-on field experience with Scranton-area plumbing, steam, and hydronic systems.

THE TOP SHELF STANDARD

How the work is approached

Every repair and installation is different, but the decision-making standard stays consistent.

01

Test the system

Pressure, temperature, flow, venting, piping, controls, and failure history are considered together.

02

Explain the priorities

Customers should understand what is urgent, what improves performance, and what can be planned.

03

Respect the property

Clean layout, organized work areas, protection, and final testing are part of the job.

04

Build for service

Valves, drains, unions, controls, and access points are arranged with future maintenance in mind.

SPECIALIZED HEATING KNOWLEDGE

Steam and hydronic systems deserve different answers.

A one-pipe steam system, a cast-iron hydronic boiler, and a modern condensing boiler do not share the same piping, pressure, flow, venting, or maintenance requirements. Top Shelf evaluates the actual system instead of applying one generic heating solution to every home.
