We are a family run business that my grandfather Russ Howard started back in 1961. He founded the company to provide the local Annandale MN community with a plumbing, heating and air conditioning service that was personal, honest and dependable. Eventually my father Marv took over the company and expanded to offer a wider range of services.
Now I run the family business and continue to deliver the same level of trustworthy service that my grandfather and father have provided to our community for well over 55 years. Howard's Plumbing, Heating & AC, Inc. is constantly improving by adding new technology and products that increase your comfort, reduce maintenance, and lower your monthly energy bills.

Most of us only think about our homes plumbing when there's no hot water or when you hear that dripping faucet as you're trying to go to sleep. Let Howard's Plumbing update your home with a "tankless" water heater for endless hot water and washerless faucets, to put a stop to constantly replacing those leaky faucet washers.
Almost 35 million homes in America are heated by natural gas fired, forced-air heating systems. Their measurement for efficiency is called an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating. All furnaces come posted with this rating on the yellow "Energy Rating" label.
The Department of Energy refers to units with an AFUE from 90% - 97% as "high efficiency" and 80% - 83% AFUE models as "mid efficiency", anything lower is outdated by today's standards.A new, high-efficiency furnace can save you money in the long run, so if your furnace needs replacement, it pays to get the high-efficiency model.

The new high efficiency central air conditioners deliver year-round comfort and huge energy savings compared to the ones that were installed before the 21st century. An air conditioner cools your home with a cold indoor coil called the evaporator. The condenser, a hot outdoor coil, releases the collected heat outside.
Sealing ductwork delivers more force to the heat and air conditioning registers throughout your home, because it stops heated or cooled air from being wasted through your leaking ductwork. The average home in the U.S. loses about 25 to 40 percent of heated and cooled air through leaks found throughout the home's air duct system.
Just give us a call and we'll head out to your home and turn on the water and the heat, so it's ready to enjoy when you return in the Spring. We leak check all of your fixtures and appliances, so there's no unpleasant surprises when you head out to the cabin for the first time in the Spring. Think about it, no tools, no hassle, just walk in and enjoy your lake home with your family and friends.

Our furnace quit working very early morning on the coldest day in many years. We called Howard's and spoke with Buck immediately. They had received other calls at that point, but said they would be over as soon as possible. Within a couple of hours they arrived. Buck was able to determine right away what the problem was. A quick trip back to his shop for the needed part and he returned. Upon returning he had the furnace up and running in no time. Very professional, very prompt, informative, and knowledgeable. My wife and I would highly recommend Howard's Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning!
