About Us

In 1980 Ray Youndt started a plumbing and air conditioning subcontracting service for Sears. Vincent Youndt, current President of Vertex Mechanical Inc., worked alongside his father, Ray, since he was 11 years old. After graduating high school in 1989, Vincent and his father formed a partnership, Ray Youndt and Son. In February of 2002, Vertex Mechanical, Inc., was created and Vincent was named the president of the company.
Vincent and his father Ray began installing geothermal heat pumps in 1985. We proudly serve customers throughout Lancaster County, PA.

Vertex Was Founded on Several Key Principles, the First of Which Is Integrity
Integrity means we truly stand behind everything we do and say to the fullest extent. We strive for perfection in both our products and services, but we also recognize mistakes will happen. It’s what we do with those mistakes that demonstrates our level of integrity and commitment to each customer. This is why everything Vertex Mechanical sells, installs, and services comes with a Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee for the life of the equipment. We can’t promise each system will be free of defects, but we can guarantee the equipment will be installed in a correct and professional manner, each and every time.
