Charleston, SC – For the second year in a row, Rudd Plumbing Heating & Air has earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list, coming in at No. 3086 among the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. The Charleston-based HVAC and plumbing company is once again being recognized not just for growth, but for consistency in delivering five-star service in an ever-changing industry. The Inc. 5000 list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, offering a data-driven snapshot of the most dynamic segment of the U.S. economy—independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Over the years, it has spotlighted companies that went on to become household names, including Microsoft, Yeti, DoorDash, Timberland, and Patagonia. For Rudd Plumbing Heating & Air, earning a place on this list for the second consecutive year affirms the company’s growing influence in South Carolina’s business landscape and its ability to scale without ever compromising on quality service or customer care.

“Growth is exciting – but sustainable growth is what really matters,” said Robert Hodges, Co-Owner of Rudd Plumbing Heating & Air. “To be recognized again means we’re not just gaining momentum – we’re keeping it. And we’re doing it by sticking to the values that got us here: transparency, reliability, quality, and integrity.”

The company was also recently named one of South Carolina’s 50 Fastest Growing Companies, highlighting its impact locally. As one of the only home service brands on either list, Rudd is proud to represent the trades in a space often dominated by tech and finance.

“We’ve never chased trends. We’ve built our growth on the fundamentals: great people, consistent professional service, and a strong relationship with the community,” added Winston Helena, also Co-Owner of Rudd Plumbing Heating & Air. “This is a win not just for our team, but for every customer who has trusted us to do the job right.”

As Rudd Plumbing Heating & Air looks ahead to 2026 and beyond, the focus remains clear: grow with intention, serve with integrity, and continue raising the standard for home services in the Lowcountry.
