What we know about Gordon
Gordon is lake and forest country in southern Douglas County, with a heavily recreational character — the St. Croix Flowage and the surrounding lakes drive a seasonal economy of cabins, resorts and hunting property. Propane and wood heat everything. The seasonal-occupancy issue is the dominant service concern: a large share of the building stock sits empty through deep cold, with heating and plumbing that need to survive unattended. Freeze alarms and remote monitoring are the highest-value items we install here. Highway 53 keeps access reliable at 50 minutes, and we run that corridor regularly toward Solon Springs.
The housing we work on here
Rural and recreational: lake cabins and homes, hunting property, modest year-round homes and newer acreage builds. Propane throughout, heavy wood use.

Gordon — questions we get asked
Do you serve Gordon, WI?
Yes. Gordon is 35.8 miles from Superior — about 50 minutes south of Superior on Highway 53. It is in our edge band, so we run emergencies around the clock and schedule routine work bundled with other calls in the corridor, which costs you less than a dedicated trip.
What heating fuel does Gordon use?
Gordon is propane country — there is no natural gas main out here. Because propane costs considerably more per BTU than natural gas, a cold-climate heat pump saves you noticeably more than it would a customer in town, which is why we raise it on most quotes here.
Is there an extra charge for coming to Gordon?
No. The $89 diagnostic is the same across the whole 45-mile area, in both states, and there is no surcharge for crossing the bridge into Wisconsin. What changes with distance is the response window, not the price.
Do you handle emergency no-heat calls in Gordon overnight?
Yes, 24 hours a day including holidays. From this distance we will give you an honest arrival window rather than an optimistic one, so you can decide whether to protect the plumbing or go somewhere warm while you wait.
What are the most common Gordon heating problems you see?
Heavily recreational — most of the building stock is seasonal, and freeze protection is the priority. Highway 53 keeps access reliable despite the distance; we run this corridor regularly.
