Our team of qualified local plumbers and contractors provides remarkable plumbing, air conditioning, HVAC, and electrical repair services for New Richmond, Wisconsin, and its surrounding areas. We’ve been serving the area since our company’s founding in 1959. That’s over 60 years in the community!
We’ve seen New Richmond grow from a rural farming community to a bustling town. We’ve grown a bit since then too. While our team is quite a bit bigger, we still offer the same quality HVAC and plumbing expertise that built our reputation in the community.
HVAC in Wisconsin & Minnesota
Our climate in the Midwest is considered one of the most extreme in the United States. Hot, humid summers paired with subzero winter temperatures mean your home’s HVAC system must be ready for anything.
Our HVAC experts can help you choose the best HVAC system for your home and ensure your equipment is sized correctly to efficiently heat and cool your home.
We install, repair and maintain:
Whether you are installing a whole new HVAC system in your new home or are simply replacing an existing unit, our team of trained technicians is here to help.
Heat pumps in Wisconsin
Heat pumps are an eco-friendly HVAC option that provides heat and cooling on a single system. They work using the refrigeration cycle. On cooling mode, they work just like a traditional AC system, taking the warm air from inside your home and sending it outside.
However, heat pumps are capable of running in reverse. This means they can provide heat as well. They do this by finding heat in the ambient air outside and moving it inside. While this seems like it would be impossible in Wisconsin, heat pumps have specialized technology that allows them to provide heat in our subzero temperatures.
Heat pumps have lower operation costs than traditional furnaces because they don’t have to “create” heat; they simply move it from one area to another. You can rely on a heat pump in Wisconsin but you have to have the right one. The heat pumps that work great in Florida don’t work for us.
Our team of technicians offers innovative AC and heating repair services for homeowners in New Richmond, Wisconsin, and has a variety of heat pump options available for you. We can help you find a system that is rated for low temperatures.
Humidity concerns
Our part of Wisconsin experiences humidity extremes in the summer and the winter. Wisconsin homes often need something to regulate humidity levels. Both high and low humidity can cause home damage and health concerns if they aren’t taken care of.
Our technicians are trained to handle indoor air quality concerns. Along with ventilation considerations, we install whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers to keep your home safe and comfortable.
Water heater installations
As a combined HVAC and plumbing company, we handle all aspects of water heater installation, maintenance, and repairs. Whether you are looking for a traditional tank heater or an eco-friendly tankless design, our team of local plumbers in New Richmond, Wisconsin has you covered.
Preventative maintenance plans
Our team offers maintenance plans for all your HVAC and plumbing equipment. While we recommend an annual tuneup for most HVAC equipment, we can show you maintenance that you can do yourself and save yourself a bit of money.
Hurlburt’s goal with preventative maintenance is to find and address small problems before they have the chance to become big ones.
Recommended preventative maintenance that you can do yourself:
Change your furnace filter regularly
Keep your AC coil clean and free of debris
Flush your water heater tank
Dust and vacuum return and supply grills
Regularly inspect outdoor water faucets for leaks
We want to help you get the most out of your HVAC and plumbing equipment. While we are in the business of new installs and replacements, we aren’t here to sell you something you don’t need. With proper preventative plumbing, cooling, and heating maintenance, we can ensure your HVAC and plumbing systems last for years to come.

I notice there's a significant discrepancy between the service type listed (Plumbing Service - Inspection) and the photo descriptions provided, which clearly show vehicle interior air vents and dashboard components. The images contain no plumbing-related equipment, fixtures, or systems.
Unable to generate an accurate plumbing service report as the photographic documentation does not correspond to plumbing work. The images appear to be from an automotive interior inspection instead.
