FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Bridgeville’s Sureway Heating & Plumbing Leads in Skilled Trades Training BRIDGEVILLE, PA — As the skilled trades industry faces a critical labor shortage, one Bridgeville-based company is taking decisive action to build the next generation of HVAC and plumbing professionals. Under the leadership of Gretchen and John Wilcox, Sureway Heating Cooling Plumbing has established itself as a model for workforce development, combining rigorous hands-on training with a customer service philosophy that puts homeowners first. John Wilcox, President of the Allegheny County Chapter of the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association (ACCWPA) and a certified Plumbing Code instructor, has made workforce development a cornerstone of Sureway’s mission. While many contractors struggle to find qualified technicians, Wilcox has built a comprehensive training program that mentors both experienced professionals and entry-level candidates, equipping them with the skills to deliver reliable, long-lasting solutions. “Do it the Right Way, with Sureway!” is more than a tagline at this 11-employee company — it’s the standard that guides every installation, repair, and customer interaction. The company’s signature “Once and Done” Promise ensures that when a Sureway technician completes a job, the problem stays solved. No callbacks. No repeat visits. No hassle. “The skilled trades shortage isn’t just an industry problem — it’s a community problem,” said John Wilcox. “When homeowners can’t find reliable HVAC and plumbing services, their comfort and safety are at risk. That’s why we’re investing in people. We train them right, pay them competitively, and give them the tools to succeed. The result is better careers for our team and better outcomes for our customers.” Sureway’s commitment to training extends beyond its own walls. As a Plumbing Code instructor, Wilcox educates the next generation of professionals on industry standards and best practices. His leadership role with ACCWPA connects Sureway to a broader network of contractors dedicated to advancing the trades and advocating for workforce development across Pennsylvania.

New team members work alongside experienced technicians on actual service calls, learning not just the technical skills but also the customer communication and problem-solving abilities that define the Sureway experience.

Sureway is actively recruiting experienced plumbers and HVAC installers, as well as entry-level candidates eager to build a career in the trades.
