Fetz Plumbing Heating & AC

At Fetz Plumbing, Heating and Cooling, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional service to our clients in Urbana, Mechanicsburg, St. Paris, West Liberty, and other towns and rural areas of Champaign County and nearby counties. For over sixty years, we have been the trusted choice for residential and commercial customers seeking reliable plumbing, heating, and cooling solutions.

Our story began in the late 1880's when George Fetz, a baker born in western Germany, moved to Urbana with his wife Margaritha and their children. His son George, a true entrepreneur, owned and operated a dairy farm, a grocery store, and a moving company throughout his life. He also owned one of Urbana's first cement mixer trucks, which was used to install sidewalks on Scioto Street in the early 1900's.

George's entrepreneurial spirit, business wisdom, and solid work ethic were passed down to the next generation. His son Robert recognized a need for additional plumbing services during one of the county's growth periods and started Fetz Plumbing and Heating out of his garage on East Church Street. In the 1970's, his son Dix expanded the service capacity of the company by adding air conditioning.

Throughout the past sixty years, the company has been passed down from one generation to the next and has expanded from a one-person operation to a team of eight. Today, Rob, the founder's grandson, owns and operates the business with the significant support and skill of his wife Sheila. The legacy has continued to the fourth generation when Derrick Fetz joined the team as the Director of Operations.

Our commitment to the community is unwavering. We believe in giving back and are proud to support causes that enhance the lives of people living in Champaign County and beyond. We are members of the Better Business Bureau, Champaign County Chamber of Commerce, Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC), and Service Roundtable.
