Let's get right to the point: C.J. Erickson Plumbing Co. is unique in this business.
Not only has it survived - and thrived - to reach its 100th anniversary, it has done so serving a city that is known for its “windy” politics and projects. Add to those accomplishments the fact that the company hasn't diverted its focus to HVAC, piping or fire protection, but continues to be a union plumbing shop, just as Carl Joseph “Joe” Erickson intended back in 1906. Topping off its uniqueness, the company has reached year 100 with an Erickson at the helm each year, and is now into its fourth generation.
So back in 1991 this HVAC contractor walks into a seminar taught by some guy named Dan Holohan. The contractor had never heard of him before and only knew of radiant heat from what he had seen on TV shows.
But Dan Holohan, being Dan Holohan, lit a fire within the contractor and the contractor knew before he'd even walked out of the room that day what he wanted to do.
