Our Story

Terry Allen Plumbing and Heating Co Inc is a 3rd generation heating, cooling and plumbing company located in Flint Michigan. Terry Allen, with his wife LuCille and daughter Sharon, came to Michigan in 1954 from south east Missouri. Their son, Timm, was born in Flint in 1958. The Allen family traveled to Michigan so Mr. Allen could work for William E. Walter Mechanical Contractors in Flint. At the time, William E. Walter was heavily involved in the reconstruction of the Beecher High School, which was damaged by a tornado in 1953.

After working in the area for 10 years, Mr. and Mrs. Allen founded Terry Allen Plumbing and Heating, Inc. on April 1,1964. Their first location, at 608 Court Street in Flint, was started with a dedication to service, quality and reliability and a single service vehicle. Because of the growth of Terry Allen. Plumbing and Heating, Inc., in 1967 Mr. and Mrs. Allen moved the business to 3509 Fenton Road.

In addition to adding more space to the service side of Terry Allen Plumbing and Heating, Inc., the move allowed them to open a small retail area with the encouragement of the families who operated A & S Supply Company of Flint. By doing this, Terry Allen Plumbing and Heating, Inc. was able to address both the service and fixture needs of their customers. Through the following years, they expanded the business and showroom, and in 1978, moved the company to its current location at 3621 Fenton Road.
