Hero Plumbing, Heating & Cooling has been a family tradition for over 100 years. In 1914, Harry C. Ridler started the company in South Minneapolis which led to the company name Uptown. Pete Savage worked for the Ridler family in the 1970s, and in 1982 Pete had the incredible opportunity to purchase it. In 2010, using the money they saved while Josh was in Iraq as a down payment, Sheree and Josh took out an SBA loan and purchased Hero Plumbing, Heating & Cooling from Josh's father. At that time, Hero had 4 employees and focused on serving Minneapolis.

Thanks Fonta for your efficient diagnostics and installation of the new thermostat to get the heat working again in my home! Mike is very knowledgeable and helpful. He patiently explained the problem and spent reasonable time to perform Furnace and Water heater tune up. He also made sure proper safety measures were taken to contain the furnace issue. I woke up and my furnace wasn't working Sunday morning. I called a few other businesses first to get someone out to take a look and Hero was the only one who could come on that day.
We started out in Minneapolis over 100 years ago which is why we originally named the company Uptown Plumbing, Heating and Cooling. Since then we have grown tremendously and today we service the entire Twin Cities metro area. We have found that customers outside of Minneapolis were hesitant to call us because our name implied a geographical service area. As we continued to expand we wanted our name to reflect the company we are today, and customers to call or text us without hesitation. On top of that, we really like the name Hero and feel it's a great fit for our business.
