Every homeowner has had to call a plumber or HVAC company for help with a problem they could not fix themselves at some point or another. It’s really not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when’ that happens. Things need maintenance, and when they do, you want it done right at a fair price. Scams are everywhere these days, so to find an honest, well-trained, and dependable company to handle your needs can be tricky.
That’s where Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and DeBord’s One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning comes in! They have been proudly serving Northeast Ohio since 1973 with highly qualified people you can trust in your home. They hire only skilled, trustworthy professionals. All service technicians undergo a 17-point technical and customer service training program, drug testing, and comprehensive background check. The company is bonded and all employees are courteous, sober and reliable. In fact, only about 1 in 33 candidates qualify to wear their uniform! Now that’s impressive!

And because their professional technicians are the best in the business, over 98 percent of first-time customers become long-term repeat customers. Best of all, they are one of the many franchises across America that are locally owned and operated. They are a family business, not a huge corporation, right here in the Chardon-Munson area.
Meet the Owners
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and DeBord’s One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning is owned by Dennis and Leona Kratochvil. Leona has been with DeBord’s since May 1989. At that time, she and her husband decided to join forces and purchase Debord’s from Dennis’s uncle, Jack Debord. It has been a wonderful experience and she enjoys seeing how the business has grown as a family. Dennis is a fourth generation plumber, and he feels that he could not have picked a greater profession to be in. He enjoys meeting and helping people and improving their quality of life. Dennis enjoys getting up early and going to work. He feels that he is surrounded by the best co-workers possible. Their attitudes and their true concern for their co-workers and clients make each day a great day. Dennis carries a state license for plumbing, heating, hydronics, backflow prevention, fire and sprinkler, as well as a City of Cleveland Master Plumber.
