Company History
Founded in 1886 by W.T. Hutchens, the business began as a local trade shop. Over four generations it expanded services from basic plumbing to large-scale commercial HVAC and industrial projects. Growth came through steady work, local referrals, and adapting to new building types in Huntsville’s changing neighborhoods.
The firm kept a local focus while adding training and certification programs for technicians. That history is visible in old repair records and modern service vans alike.
Leadership
The company remains family-led. Vernon Hutchens and his son Fisher Hutchens now run daily operations. Their leadership mixes practical field experience with community ties. They participate in local trade associations and support area workforce training.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Beware of price gouging. Plumber spent 30 min or less unclogging a sink drain and I was charged $235! I was billed for 1.5 hours time and an additional $100 charge to operate their drain snake. I can understand travel time is included in the hourly rate but charging to use a standard tool to do the job??? I'm glad my mechanic doesn't charge when he has to use the impact driver.....
After having Scott's come out and give me a quote that I thought was high, Hutchens came out and quoted me a little over half of what Scott's had. (HC Blake wanted $99 just to give me an estimate!) They did a good job, were polite (don't get me started about Scott's guy) and had the job done in no time. It helps to shop around and I would strongly recommend Hutchens!
Tim D.Superior Friendly Service. I would Highly recommend them for any cooling or heating needs. Fair pricing and they do a wonderful job.
Lou W.We had a bad leak inside our water heater and we solicited quotes to swap it out. Hutchens had the best quote for labor and equipment, so we went with them. They started the work immediately and were done within a few hours. They installed the new water heater, and cleaned up the pipes and shutoff valve to accommodate the unit. He even brought everything up to current code by installing an expansion tank at no extra charge. Left no mess and took the old tank with them.
Prompt, courteous, excellent plumbers, and great service. They will get my business every time.
