Countryside Plumbing & Heating’s History

Countryside Plumbing & Heating began serving the New Richmond community in 1950 under the name of Schwantes Heating. In 1955, Dick Allers and Len Peterson bought it and the name was changed to A-P Heating. In 1962, the name was changed to Early Plumbing & Heating. For most of these early years they operated out of a small building on North Knowles Avenue, and in 1965 they erected and moved into a location at 753 South Knowles Avenue in New Richmond. In 1976, the name was changed to CIR Plumbing & Heating.

Jim De Young began working for them in 1970 as a Plumber, and in early 1982, Jim and Carol De Young bought the business and changed the name to Countryside Plumbing & Heating, Inc. In April 2000, we moved into our current facility at 321 Wisconsin Drive where we have a 15,000 square foot building that includes our offices, warehouse and fabrication area and 1600 square foot showroom.
