Why Milwaukee Homeowners Have Called Austin Since 1939


Austin Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electric has been serving Milwaukee’s west side and North Shore communities since 1939. In a market with no shortage of options — many of them now owned by private equity groups with previous owners still serving as the mouthpiece — Milwaukee homeowners call Austin because they want a company that’s still genuinely local, still genuinely family-owned, and still run by the people who do the work.

At Austin, there are no salespeople. Every tech is a tradesperson, trained in-house and non-commissioned. They get paid the same for a $150 repair as a $3,000 replacement — which means the only thing driving their recommendation is what’s actually right for your home. We’ve been approached to sell more times than we can count. The answer is always no. Austin and what it stands for isn’t for sale at any price.

What Milwaukee homeowners say about us: knowledgeable, friendly techs who communicate clearly, arrive prepared, and treat every home with care. Fast service and honest answers. Every one of our 3,500+ five-star reviews was earned on a real job — never bought, never incentivized, never manufactured. Real Milwaukee homeowners. Real experiences. That’s what 85+ years of doing it right looks like.

Real Work Completed in Milwaukee


Nick and Lynn B. called to have their kitchen sink and faucet replaced. We removed the old double-basin sink, disposal, and faucet, then installed the new customer-supplied single-basin drop-in sink and faucet. We also replaced the leaking fixture stops and repiped the drain to fit the new sink. Everything was tested for leaks and confirmed working properly before we left.
Judy H. called after basement flooding knocked out her water heater. We replaced it with a new 50-gallon power vent water heater and installed a new expansion tank. Everything was tested and confirmed working great before we left.
Damont G. called after flooding damaged the control board on his furnace. We replaced the old unit with a new 96% efficient furnace and confirmed everything was working properly before leaving.
Gary V. called when his AC stopped working. We found a blown capacitor on a system manufactured in 1998. We replaced the capacitor, verified the system was cooling at a 19 degree delta, and confirmed everything was working properly before leaving. Due to the age and condition of the unit we recommended a full system replacement, but Gary chose to move forward with the repair for now.
Keith C. called after a tree fell on his overhead service lines and pulled the mast down, breaking the hub. We replaced the damaged hub and secured the riser back to the building. Everything was confirmed working properly before we left.
Michael R. called when his boiler was intermittently shutting off and needed to be restarted. We found the expansion tank was over-pressurized at 35 psi when it should be at 14 psi. We replaced the expansion tank and the thermostat batteries, and confirmed the system was running properly before leaving.

Common Questions Milwaukee Homeowners Ask Austin

Will Austin push me toward work I don’t need?
No. Austin’s technicians are non-commissioned — paid the same whether they recommend a repair or a replacement — and the company employs only tradespeople, never salespeople. In Milwaukee homes, including the city’s older housing where problems can hide, you’ll get an honest diagnosis, real options, and the freedom to decide. Empowering the client is a core Austin value; no one here earns more by selling you more.
Do Milwaukee homeowners recommend Austin?
Yes. Austin’s 3,500+ five-star reviews across Southeast Wisconsin were each earned on a real job — never bought, incentivized, or manufactured. Milwaukee homeowners describe knowledgeable, friendly techs who communicate clearly, arrive prepared, and treat the home with care. Real homeowners, real experiences, in real volume.
Who shows up when I call Austin?
A trained Austin tradesperson, in-house “the Austin Way” — never a subcontractor or salesperson. Milwaukee’s older, more varied homes demand someone who knows what they’re looking at, and that’s who Austin sends: a craftsperson who finds the real issue, explains it plainly, minds their manners, and respects your home.
Who’s behind Austin?
Eric Smith — Owner, President, third-generation master tradesman — owns Austin, built on what his grandfather Austin Smith founded in 1939. The founder’s name lives on through Eric’s young son Austin, the fourth generation and the boy in Austin’s TV commercials. The company still runs on the founder’s two words, “Be Good,” and it’s not for sale at any price — so you get a genuinely local owner and accountability, not a corporate investor’s targets.
What happens if something goes wrong?
Austin backs its work with a published promise: if our work breaks, we’ll fix it for free. If the workmanship fails, Austin makes it right at no charge — no runaround. Because Austin is local and accountable, there’s always a real company to call, not a faceless call center.
Can Austin handle my problem?
Almost certainly. Austin handles plumbing, water heaters, heating, cooling, and electrical for Milwaukee homes — all in-house, all to code, all backed by experience since 1939. Older homes especially tend to have issues that cross systems, and Austin’s one-company, all-trades approach is built exactly for that.
