Rudd Plumbing Heating & Air

What Rudd Plumbing Heating & Air does

Rudd Plumbing Heating Air & Electrical LLC is a privately held, family-owned home services company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, with a second office in Charleston. The company delivers HVAC, plumbing, electrical, drain and sewer, and light-commercial services through a fleet-based, direct-to-consumer field service model serving 21+ communities across the Charleston Lowcountry, with same-day service available seven days a week (Mon–Sun 7:30AM–8:00PM) and customer access via phone (843-310-3770) and online contact form. Service delivery relies on licensed technicians dispatched in fully stocked service vehicles capable of single-visit resolution, supported by conventional field-service equipment including hydro jetting, sewer camera inspection, and battery backup sump pump systems.

The company's revenue is generated through four streams: (1) hourly service and repair work, (2) one-time installation and replacement projects for HVAC systems, water heaters, electrical panels, generators, and similar equipment, (3) the Rudd Advantage Plan subscription membership priced at $19/month or $228/year for the first covered system (plus $11/month or $132/year per additional system), which bundles priority scheduling, 15% repair discounts, waived emergency fees, two annual precision tune-ups, and a 10-year parts and labor warranty on Rudd-installed systems, and (4) customer financing programs including 0% APR with no payments until 2027. The customer base is overwhelmingly long-tail residential homeowners, supplemented by light commercial accounts (e.g., Vicious Biscuit restaurant), vacation rental properties, and historic homes in downtown Charleston.

Operationally, Rudd has executed a sequential platform expansion strategy: founding HVAC operations in 2014, adding a full-service plumbing department in 2021, and adding a full-service electrical department in December 2025, completing a four-trade offering under a single brand. The company is BBB accredited, Inc. 5000 recognized, a Generac authorized dealer, a SC Fastest Growing Companies honoree, a CAR President Award recipient, and holds a 4.9 Google rating, all of which support its local brand and recurring-customer strategy in a trust-driven services category.
