Jim Gander opened Superior Plumbing & Heating (SPC) in 1984. SPC’s original customer base was mainly plumber service customers. Building business partnerships and friendships helped SPC begin moving into the new commercial construction market. By 1990, Superior Plumbing & Heating employed fifteen people and its concentration was dedicated to new commercial projects and service plumbing.

In 2010, Superior Plumbing & Heating merged with Superior Mechanical Systems, Inc. to create Superior Mechanical. Superior Mechanical now offers complete plumbing, HVAC, water conditioning and mechanical insulation services for your home, business or industry.

Known across Minnesota as an industry leader, Superior Mechanical continues to build on past success as it enters its busiest year in history (2010) with a strong emphasis on commercial construction.

Residential construction

The residential construction department, led by Vice President David Oftedahl, provided plumbing for over 450 new homes in 2002. Dave’s department is deep with Southern Minnesota’s best-trained construction crews. Custom plumbing design and consultation services set Superior's residential department far ahead of its competition.

Service

Superior Mechanical's service department, managed by team leader Brian Lubbert, along with dispatchers and technicians are part of the Southern Minnesota’s premier service team, the area’s only true 24 hour service department, fifteen radio dispatched trucks, and the best trained technicians in the business.

Commercial construction

The commercial construction department continues to be a leader in Southern Minnesota. Hotel/motels, multifamily, industrial, warehousing, office buildings and medical facilities are a daily occurrence for Superior's commercial department. Commercial Department Managers and Estimator/Project Managers, Craig Curley, Paul Van Tassel and Rob Jones manage plumbing and mechanical projects all over southeast Minnesota.

Expansion to Edina

In the summer of 2005, Superior Plumbing and Heating, at the request of many sales customers who have concentrated in the metro market, opened its doors to its Edina office. This branch office will offer the same service at competitive rates to ensure the growth of this marketplace in years to come. Under the direction of Dave Nemecek and under the supervision of existing managers at Superior Plumbing & Heating, the metro division has an aggressive business plan.
