About PrairieSons | Plumbing & HVAC Experts in Brandon, SD

Quality workmanship that turns your "SOS" back into a "Home Sweet Home."

Frank Howe didn’t just start PrairieSons in 2009—he built it on a foundation of “doing things right the first time.” After two decades of owning one of the state’s largest plumbing companies, Frank decided to bring his unique brand of exceptional service and Midwest work ethic back home to Brandon.

His mission was simple: grow PrairieSons into the region’s leading provider of plumbing, heating, and cooling while keeping that neighborly feel. Today, Frank, his wife Joy, and their family are proud to call Brandon home, serving neighbors across South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota with a team that treats every house like their own.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our AC went out during the hottest time of the year. Our system needed to be replaced but there was a long lead time for the equipment.  We were lent a portable AC unit that helped us survive. Our installer Dave was awesome and very knowledgeable and friendly.  We now have a new system in place and I would highly recommend Frank and PrarieSons.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had them check or repair several items in our home.  They are always prompt and pleasant to work with. They aren’t crazy expensive either.   Our recent repair was bathroom and the tech fixed it without doing as much as we thought it needed. We are very grateful for their service. We recently had them come in and replace a toilet.  They did a thorough repair of a faulty shutoff valve and replaced an outdated flange as well.  We were satisfied with all that was done.  Haven’t got the bill yet.
