Rudd Plumbing Heating Air & Electrical has been named to the Inc. 5000 for the third consecutive year, ranking No. 3,146 among the fastest-growing private companies in America. The recognition caps a milestone year for the Charleston-based company, which expanded into electrical services in addition to plumbing, heating, and air - a move reflected in its new name.
Making the Inc. 5000 once is an achievement. Returning three years in a row places Rudd in a select group of companies that have proven their growth is no fluke. The list has served as a launching pad for businesses that became household names like Microsoft, Yeti, DoorDash, Timberland, and Patagonia. They all appeared on it early in their rise. For Rudd, growth has always followed from the same habit: making promises to customers and keeping them.
“Three years in a row is something the whole team should be proud of,” said Robert Hodges, Co-Owner of Rudd Plumbing Heating Air & Electrical. “We took on a whole new trade this year, and our people never missed a beat. They show up, do the job right, and treat every customer like a neighbor. That’s what keeps us growing.”
Closer to home, Rudd also notched its third straight appearance among South Carolina’s 50 Fastest Growing Companies. A matching three-year streak that puts a Lowcountry home services company shoulder to shoulder with the state’s top firms in tech, finance, and manufacturing, and proof that the trades belong in that conversation.
“Our customers asked for one team they could trust with the whole house: plumbing, heating, air, and now electrical,” added Winston Helena, also Co-Owner. “Becoming a full home services company was the natural next step, and earning these honors while making that leap says everything about our team. Growth like this only happens when your people believe in the work.”
With a new trade on the roster and the same values at the core: transparency, reliability, quality, and integrity - Rudd enters the year ahead focused on what has always driven its growth: doing right by every home it serves in the Lowcountry.
