North Country Plumbing & Heating brings full-service plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical to Brainerd homes and businesses. Our licensed team works across Crow Wing County from the Hwy 371 corridor through NE Brainerd, Rice Lake, and the Buffalo Hills neighborhood. Same-day and priority emergency scheduling during business hours.
North Country Plumbing & Heating is the only Brainerd-area contractor that handles plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical under a single roof. After we acquired Electric Etc. and Joe's Heating, all three trades came together as one team. For Brainerd homeowners that means one phone number, one truck on the driveway, and one company to call when a service panel, a furnace, and a water heater all need attention in the same week. The shop is based at 13688 Kimberly Road in Crosslake, and our trucks cover Brainerd, Baxter, Nisswa, Pequot Lakes, and the broader Crow Wing County footprint.
Brainerd winters punish equipment that is undersized, neglected, or aging out of its service life. Our heating and cooling team installs and services Armstrong Air furnaces and AC systems, Durastar ductless mini-splits, and cold-climate heat pumps built for Minnesota.
We handle no-heat emergencies, short-cycling diagnostics, ignitor and flame-sensor repairs, blower replacements, condensate drainage, and full furnace or AC replacements with right-sized equipment. For homeowners replacing a 15- to 20-year-old furnace or AC, we lay out the Armstrong Air options side by side with cold-climate heat pump pricing so you can compare operating costs over a Brainerd winter.

Brainerd homes range from older bungalows near downtown to newer builds along Hwy 371 and the lakeshore. Our plumbing team services and replaces Bradford White tank water heaters, installs Navien tankless water heaters and condensing boilers, clears drains and sewer lines, and handles fixture replacements, repipes, and water-quality work.
If you're chasing a slow drain, a leaking water heater, low hot-water capacity, or a sewer line that backs up every winter, we can run a camera, locate the issue, and quote the repair on the same visit when possible. Brainerd homeowners on city water see a lot of fixture and pressure-regulator work; homes on well systems get more pressure-tank, softener, and filtration calls.

Brainerd's older housing stock means a steady stream of panel upgrades, knob-and-tube replacements, and grounding fixes. Our electrical team, anchored by the former Electric Etc. crew, installs service-panel upgrades, dedicated circuits for heat pumps and mini-splits, GFCI-protected outdoor receptacles, EV chargers, and whole-home Kohler and Generac standby generators.
Generator demand is high in Brainerd: well-pump and sump-pump homes lose water and dry-basement protection within minutes of an outage, and working-from-home customers can't afford to wait for Crow Wing Power crews to restore service during summer storms. We size generators against your actual electrical load, not a sales chart.

Brainerd has dozens of contractors. Most are one-trade shops. North Country is the option for homeowners who want a single team to handle the furnace, the water heater, the panel, and the generator without juggling three different scheduling calls. We are licensed, bonded, and insured in Minnesota; we pull permits on jobs that need them; and we publish honest pricing with up-front estimates before work starts.
