Since 1959 Hurlburt, we make it our mission to keep your home comfortable and protected.
Menomonie has a wide range of housing styles and ages, which creates a unique mix of heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical needs. Older homes near downtown and the university area often still rely on aging infrastructure, while newer homes near the south side and Cedar Falls Road continue adding modern Heating and Cooling systems, generators, smart home technology, and upgraded electrical service.
A lot of plumbing work in Menomonie comes back to the age of the homes and the way the city has expanded over time. Around the older neighborhoods near downtown, Wilson Avenue, and the university area, we regularly work on aging drain lines, outdated shutoffs, older water heaters, and plumbing systems that have been modified multiple times over the years.
On the newer side of town, homeowners are often calling about water softeners, sump pumps, filtration systems, and plumbing upgrades tied to remodels and additions.
If your plumbing system is giving you problems, we can help.
The average heating and cooling repair service costs from $100 – $1,000 or more depending on what needs to be fixed.

Electrical systems in Menomonie homes vary more than most people realize. We might spend the morning upgrading an older panel near downtown and then head out toward newer developments near Highway 12 to install EV chargers or backup generators.
A lot of older homes throughout Menomonie still operate with panels and wiring that were never designed for modern electrical demand. Once homeowners start adding newer appliances, Air Conditioning and Heating systems, or home office equipment, those limitations start showing up quickly.
Heating season in Menomonie is long enough that homeowners usually notice problems before winter is even halfway over. We spend a lot of time working on aging furnaces, older boilers, and systems that struggle to maintain even temperatures once the colder weather settles in.
Homes around the older parts of Menomonie often have airflow limitations, undersized ductwork, or heating systems that have been patched together over decades of repairs and upgrades.
Menomonie homeowners deal with completely different air quality concerns depending on the season. During the winter, homes dry out fast once the furnace runs constantly. During the summer, humidity becomes the bigger issue, especially around lower areas near Lake Menomin and the Red Cedar River.
We also see a lot of dust buildup and airflow issues in older homes with aging duct systems.
The right humidity and filtration setup can make a noticeable difference in comfort year-round.
Cooling problems in Menomonie usually come down to airflow, humidity, or older systems trying to cool homes that were never originally built for central air. We work on a lot of older houses where the AC system was added years later, which often leaves upstairs rooms warmer and airflow inconsistent.
The humidity around Menomonie can also make systems run longer than homeowners expect, especially during stretches of hot weather in July and August.
Ductless mini-splits have become a popular solution throughout Menomonie for older homes, finished basements, additions, and garages.
