Advantage Air service van in the field

Devoted to the Twin Ports.

"We're more than a home service company. We're your neighbors, committed to doing every job right, every time. Our roots run deep in Superior and Duluth, and that means something when your name is on the truck."
Joe Ligman Owner & Operator

Joe still estimates jobs and runs the schedule himself. That is why the quote you get is the quote you pay, and why the tech who shows up knows exactly what your house needs.

Twelve years, two shops, one truck at a time

Nothing dramatic. A local shop that took on more of the house as it went.

2014

Joe starts Advantage Air in Superior

One owner, one truck, and a phone that got answered. The shop on Tower Ave is still the one running dispatch today, which is why Superior is home base rather than a second office.

2021

Botten Plumbing joins forces with us

The single biggest change to what we can do. Six plumbers on staff came with it, plus septic and holding tank capability that most heating companies will not touch. From that point one call could cover the whole house instead of just the furnace.

Now

Two shops, both sides of the bridge

Superior on Tower Ave and Duluth on Matterhorn Drive, dispatching separately so a no-heat call up the hill is not waiting on a truck crossing from Wisconsin. Over 5,000 Twin Ports customers since the start, and the owner still runs the schedule.

The shape of the crew

Small enough that the owner knows every truck, big enough to answer at 3 a.m.

6

Licensed plumbers

On staff, not subcontracted. Leaks, drains, sewer, water heaters, septic and holding tanks.

2

Dispatch points

Superior and Duluth run their own schedules, so neither side of the bridge waits on the other.

24/7

Answered by a person

Not an answering service taking a message for Monday. Somebody who can decide what happens next.

The parts we refuse to bend on.

Most of what makes a contractor easy to deal with is decided before anybody picks up a tool. These are the ones we will not trade away for a faster sale.

  • The price is agreed before a wrench comes out of the truck
  • Repair and replace numbers side by side, then it is your call
  • We never inflate a price so a rebate or discount looks bigger
  • Independent, so the recommendation follows your house, not a quota
  • If a bad experience happens, ask for Joe. He still runs the schedule.

149 in Superior, 68 in Duluth, because we run two shops. Read them where we cannot edit them.

"Very prompt and courteous, explained everything well. We have used a local competitor in the past, and Advantage Air has the extra touch of customer service, including the people who schedule the plumbers. They made a very stressful event stress-free."

The things people ask Joe

Joe Ligman, owner and operator. Joe still estimates jobs and runs the schedule himself, which is why quotes are straight and callbacks are rare.

In 2021 Advantage Air joined forces with Botten Plumbing, a respected local shop. That brought six plumbers on staff and full septic capability under one roof, so one call now covers the whole house.

Big enough to answer 24/7 and staff both shops, small enough that the owner knows every truck. HVAC crews, six plumbers on staff, and dispatch out of Superior and Duluth.

Meet us the easy way: book a job.

The story is nice. The clean copper is nicer. Request service and see for yourself.
