Meet our dedicated and hard working team

Steven Betz & Pete Makarichev

Betz Heating, Cooling & Water Treatment, LLC was started in September, 2010 by Steven Betz in the Collegeville/Skippack area.

Known for his commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction, Steve’s dedicated work ethic started as a toddler helping his Pop-pop get ready for flea markets. He later honed his skills working with his father, who has 35 years’ experience in the HVAC business.

Steven graduated from Methacton High School and North Montco Technical Career Center with honors. While in high school, a teacher recommended him for the PA youth apprentice program where he was able to split his time working several days a week while also taking academic classes. During that program, he worked for a Plymouth Meeting based HVAC company and was eventually hired full time after graduation. and continued his employment there for 5 years.

In 2010, he decided to start his own business, forming Betz Heating Cooling and Electric, LLC.

Some of his credentials include:

  • HVAC Technician Certification
  • TracPipe certified
  • Gastite System certificate
  • NORA certificate.

In 2022, Steve met Pete Makarichev, a handyman with an extensive background in water treatment. Their partnership grew out of many conversations and the realization they were both hard workers dedicated to their trades, and they decided to form Betz Heating, Cooling and Water Treatment, LLC.

Since then the pair has been working tirelessly to grow their business and have created quite a following of loyal customers. See what some of our customers have said in their reviews.

Pete replaced an older salt water treatment system as well as adding in a new RO filtration system. Our water has never tasted as good, including clearer ice cubes in the freezer. Also had an outdoor spigot replaced. I can highly recommend Pete and his team, professional, very knowledgeable and capable with a complex, challenging setup and willing to take the time to answer questions and clearly explain the why.

Betz has been unbelievable to work with. They helped service my AC unit as well as going above and beyond in help diagnosing issues accurately. I cannot recommend them enough if you need any AC work done!

Will shout Betz and Steve out to anyone and everyone who will listen! We were told we needed an entire new AC system but wanted to get a second opinion. Gabriella at the office got us an appt within 24 hours. Steve came out and had our system running in 30 minutes. We almost replaced our entire system due to an issue that required a minor repair. When we do need our new system, Betz will be the first call. Honest, reliable and great to work with from the first call!

I’ve been using Betz Heating and Cooling for over 10 years. They have always done a great job. They are very responsive and their pricing is fair. Steve has helped us out many times when our old heater or AC unit were not working properly. Last year we decided to get a new heater. Steve recommended a natural gas tankless system. They were helpful in us getting a gas line installed by PECO. The new system installation went smoothly. Pete also installed a water neutralizer at the same time. We are very pleased with Steve and Pete and our new system. Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your heating and cooling equipment each need annual maintenance.

Turn it off and wait for it to thaw, make sure that nothing is blocking the vents and check the filter.  If it appears to be clogged, you should replace it.  

If your AC unit is more than 10 years old, if your energy usage starts to go up (this could point to lower efficiency), if there is warm air coming from your vents, or if repairs are becoming more frequent, it could be time to upgrade your AC.

If your furnace is older than 15 years, isn’t heating your home or is heating it unevenly, it is making loud noises, emitting dust or fumes, or if you notice corrosion, leaks or cracks it may be time to replace it.
