Northern Air has serviced our lake cabin for several years. I first hired Dave Rom to add a second bathroom including a shower, toilet, and sink. This job required work in a crawl space with limited head room. He did an excellent job. Since then, Dave has taken care of opening and closing the cabin for our seasonal use. Dave does his work when requested promptly and never leaves a mess.

~ Cordell Guse, New Brighton, Minnesota Excellent service.

Dave is very knowledgeable, courteous and we trust his work that he has done for us. Before we met Dave, we had housing work on our furnace which they say they fixed it but did not because they didn't have a clue of what they were doing. We are very pleased that we found Dave and are very satisfied with his work and would recommend him to our friends.

~ Maurice Benjamin, McGregor, Minnesota


Service was great and fast since our furnace was not working. At least it was not -20F. Technician found the problem and ordered the parts which arrived the next day.

~ Andrew Dodge, Aitkin, Minnesota


I got your name from Mille Lacs Energy. They told me you know about Plenum heaters and I needed someone like that. The tech that was at my house sure was knowledgeable in what he was doing. I will call again and my brother said he would call them too.

Northern Air is quality and service at its best. They were our plumbing and heating contractor on our build.

I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with the service of Northern Air Plumbing & Heating. I just purchased a cabin on Spirit Lake in Aitkin and the help and support that I received from Dave and Northern Air Plumbing & Heating was fantastic! Dave did an absolutely excellent job on the bathroom we added to our cabin along with updating various plumbing problems that we encountered. Whenever I had a question, Dave was always willing to take the time to call me back and give me informative answers that made it easy for me to understand. I have always recommended Dave Rom and Northern Air Plumbing & Heating to my friends and family. Dave is someone that you can trust to get the job done.

~ Susan S. Keefe ~ Aitkin, Minnesota


I have had Dave, the owner, to my residence numerous times over the past 5 years. Once in 6 inches of snow, once in a driving rain and twice long after the sun had set. Two of those service calls were on weekends. Dave charged the normal rate even for the emergency weekend and evening visits. Dave is a true professional. Customer service is a very high priority with Northern Air and they are the only contractor I call to service our plumbing and heating needs.

~ Joseph R. Hirtzel ~ Brainerd, Minnesota


Since purchasing our cabin on Mille Lacs over 5 years ago, we have used Dave’s services for numerous projects including more than one emergency. We cannot say enough good things about the timeliness, professionalism, quality, and cost of the maintenance and repairs. He is always available and does exactly what is expected in the time promised. We have recommended him to neighbors who have also had similar experiences. Without hesitation, we recommend Northern Air Plumbing & Heating. It’s a real comfort to know that Dave is available whenever we need assistance.

The Northern Air crew responded to our call, covered all our needs satisfactorily, and kept within their estimate. We experienced no unpleasant surprises. We appreciate their “round the clock” dependability and pleasant service. Once we heard Dave’s laughter it became infectious. Thank you for a job well done; we appreciate each one of you.

~ Rick & Celia Doty ~ Aitkin, Minnesota


We decided to use Northern Air Plumbing & Heating on our new home because they were recommended by people that we know and trust. They are a local contractor with a good reputation, and would be available for future service. The estimate we received was very competitive, complete, and well presented. We were very pleased with the quality of the materials and equipment that was used and the workmanship involved in the installation. We were pleased with the communication and wonderful service provided by Northern Air, and the work was done in a timely manner. The workmen involved in our project were friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. We would not hesitate to use Northern Air again in the future.

~ Victor Lien ~ Aitkin, Minnesota


I’ve used Northern Air for all my plumbing and several air-conditioning projects over the last 15 years at McQuoid’s Inn, my residences, and other rental properties that I’ve owned. They are very reliable, on time and do very good work. I always refer them to both friends and anyone looking for a fair and reliable contractor. On a scale of 1-10 I would give them an 11!

~ Terry McQuoid ~ Isle, Minnesota


In the fall of 2007, we built a new hunting cabin and Dave Rom of Northern Air Plumbing & Heating completed the work for us. We had electric in-floor hot water heat installed and a propane-fired gas furnace as a back-up. He also did all of the plumbing. We were very satisfied with the quality of his service and work. Since that time, we have had some service work done in our home. We had a power-vented hot-water heater and a basement lift pump replaced. Both of these times Dave quickly responded to our needs. We would recommend his services for any plumbing or heating needs.

~ Harland Rothwell ~ Deerwood, Minnesota


I have had nothing but excellent service from Northern Air. Everyone is very friendly on the phone and when they come to your home, the service is very quick. When my water boiler went out, they were at my house the next day. Then the water pressure dropped on my boiler so I called them late at night to fix it and they were there within 20 minutes and there was no charge. I'm very happy with their service and I would recommend Northern Air to everyone.

~ Misty Swanson ~ Aitkin, Minnesota


Northern Air Plumbing & Heating have done all of our plumbing work. They are very personable and are prompt at getting the work done. They are very professional in the work that they do and they stand behind it. I would recommend Northern Air Plumbing & Heating to anyone. You will feel confident in the job that they do.

~ Boyd Bremner ~ Aitkin, Minnesota


Just a while ago we built our retirement home in Palisade, Minnesota. Northern Air Plumbing & Heating was recommended to us by the builder and other subcontractors. Northern Air bid and did our supply, waste (kitchen & bathrooms). We had them do our underground waste and furnish and install our dual fuel forced air system, air conditioning and our in-floor heat that was zoned. They gassed our appliances and in all cases were here when they said they'd be here. They performed their functions expertly and were friendly and easy to work and communicate with. We were and are very satisfied with every aspect our association with Northern Air and their employees and we recommend them every opportunity that arises and would use them again.

~ Michael Harrison ~ Palisade, Minnesota


Dave of Northern Air Plumbing & Heating was referred to us by our neighbors who spoke highly of him. Dave has always responded to our calls promptly. He is hard-working and efficient at what he does. He is never too busy to answer our questions. He always researches the most economical solution to our plumbing and heating problems. DAVE WILL ALWAYS BE OUR PLUMBER AND HEATING SPECIALIST! It is obvious that Dave and Erin work as a team. Erin relays our messages and often answers questions that we may have.

~ Jan Anderson ~ Brainerd, Minnesota


Since 1991 when my wife and I purchased a farm that needed some fixing in the old house, which was built in the early 1900s, we have called on Northern Air Plumbing & Heating. We needed all new plumbing and heating and they took care of everything that we needed and gave us the best service when we needed it. Over the years since Dave and Erin took over the business, their service is the best. Recently, we had new countertops and a sink installed. Dave came to disconnect the water and do what he had to do because the installers called and said they were coming 2 hours earlier than we expected. We needed Dave right away and he was there for us. We really appreciate what they have done. We are going on 20 years here in Aitkin County and have never had to call any other plumber. We highly recommend them to anyone. We have always been satisfied with their prompt workmanship and service when we called. When they do it right, why call anyone else?
