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.
The second generation of the De Young’s is now taking a leadership role in the day to day operations and management of the company. Tim De Young is our Vice President & General Manager as well as a licensed Master Plumber in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Bill De Young is also a Vice President and is a trained Sheet Metal Technician and Heating and Air Conditioning Department Manager.

We currently are involved with the plumbing and/or heating in as many as 250 new homes a year plus many multi-family apartments and town homes. We have shared in much of the growth of our area and hope to continue to be involved in the potential future growth and improvements in the years to come.
