M&S Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning

What M&S Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning does

M&S Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. is a family-owned and operated local trade-services company headquartered at 1101 Hostetler Drive in Manhattan, Kansas, founded in 1981 and under family ownership since 2005. The company serves residential and commercial customers across Manhattan, Junction City, and Wamego in the Flint Hills region of Kansas, delivering plumbing, heating, air conditioning, water treatment, and generator services on a 24/7 emergency basis. It holds Kansas contractor license #0356 and has earned two Manhattan People's Choice Awards and a consistent Better Business Bureau accreditation over its 45+ year operating history.

The core offering is field-based service delivery: licensed technicians are dispatched to customer properties for installation, repair, and maintenance work across roughly five service categories — plumbing (including hydro jetting, sewer and drain, water heaters, gas lines, and remodeling), heating (boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, radiant, geothermal, and ductless systems), air conditioning (central and ductless), water treatment (softeners, filtration, purification, reverse osmosis via Charger Water Treatment Products), and generators (whole-house and commercial). Equipment and techniques are industry-standard, with specialty offerings including Mitsubishi ductless mini-splits, geothermal heat pumps, UV air purification, and high-pressure hydro jetting. Revenue is generated through professional service fees, hardware sales (equipment installation), and a recurring maintenance program; pricing is quote-based with published promotional specials and customer financing arranged through Synchrony.
