Remer Plumbing and Heating

What Remer Plumbing and Heating does

Remer Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning Inc. is a privately held, family-owned mechanical services contractor founded by Robert Remer in 1957 and headquartered at 5565 State Street, Saginaw, Michigan. The company provides plumbing service, repair, and installation; heating and air conditioning service, repair, and installation; kitchen and bathroom design and remodeling; commercial new construction and renovation; and retail parts sales. Operations are led by President Richard Katz (with the company since 1959), Vice President Mark Katz (commercial division), and Lead Estimator Ryan Katz, across a staff of approximately 85 employees.

The company serves two primary end markets. The residential segment targets homeowners in the Great Lakes Bay Region (Saginaw, Midland, Bay City) through phone-based service requests, online forms, and an in-person showroom and design center. The commercial segment, operated under the 'Remer Commercial' brand, executes plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical work for new construction and renovation projects across Michigan, with named customers in healthcare (Ascension St. Mary's, Covenant, McLaren), higher education (Central Michigan University, Michigan State University, Saginaw Valley State University, Delta College), government, hospitality, and big-box retail. A retail parts department, one of the largest in the region, serves homeowners, handymen, and contractors with overnight shipping on out-of-stock items.

Remer generates revenue through service calls, repair and installation projects, design and remodeling engagements, commercial construction bids, and parts counter sales. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Residential customers can access financing for qualifying HVAC and water heater purchases through the Michigan Saves state program. The company differentiates on 65+ years of brand recognition, state-licensed and certified technicians (including medical gas, backflow, and CSD-1 boiler credentials), integrated parts inventory, and complete project coordination from design through maintenance. No revenue, funding, or headcount growth metrics are publicly disclosed.

Others

• Carrier: Global HVAC equipment manufacturer whose products (furnaces, AC systems) Remer installs and services. Comparable via the equipment/installer ecosystem but not a direct competitor.
• HomeServe: Home warranty and home services membership platform that routes work to local contractors. Comparable end-customer but operates as a demand/financing layer rather than a contractor itself.

Broad incumbents

• Mr. Rooter Plumbing: Neighborly-branded national plumbing franchise; increasingly offers HVAC adjacent services. Comparable customer base (homeowners and small commercial) and service-led GTM.
• Roto-Rooter: National plumbing and drain services franchise with HVAC offerings. Overlaps with Remer's core service lines at a much larger scale, with strong brand recognition and franchise-driven local delivery.
• One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning: National HVAC franchise offering residential heating, cooling, and indoor air quality services. Closest large-scale franchise analogue to Remer's HVAC service and replacement business.
• ServiceMaster Restore: National home and commercial services franchise network offering restoration, cleaning, and specialty services. Adjacent in customer profile and franchise-led service delivery, though narrower in core plumbing/HVAC.
• ARS / Rescue Rooter: National HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services platform with residential and commercial exposure. Comparable integrated service model at meaningfully greater scale and geographic reach.
• Benjamin Franklin Plumbing: National plumbing franchise focused on residential service, repair, and replacement. Directly comparable on the residential plumbing service motion and pricing structure.
