John T. Fontecchio III along with his wife Karen started Johnny's Plumbing & Heating in 1978. They started this new business with two employees and carried out all operations of the business from the garage of their home. John’s first company work truck consisted of a 1966 Chevrolet truck and then later evolved into two small tan colored Toyota trucks which to this day is still talked about today by the locals.

Nineteen years later in February of 1997 the decision to incorporate the business was made. The business incorporated as Johnny's Plumbing & Hydronics Company (JPH) to set itself apart by utilizing the name to announce its specialties in the hydronic heating industry. It is estimated that as of 2007 Johnny's Plumbing and Hydronics Co. has installed easily over 500 hot water heating systems combined with baseboard heat,snowmelt, in-floor heating systems, and varied combinations of heating systems.. JPH is recognized throughout Colorado as a leader in the radiant heating industry and works diligently with manufacturers and heating engineers to create the most efficient and economical heating systems imaginable.
