Our Roots
The Christianson family has a long, proud Texas heritage that dates back for generations. The passing of the “torch” (a 1950’s plumber’s torch in this case ) from generation to generation reaffirms our tireless commitment and dedication to providing the highest quality of service and expertise to Central and South Texas. In the spirit of that heritage, we humbly serve you today.
In 1950, W.G. “Chris” Christianson opened a small plumbing business to serve Austin area home builders. He began with a set of hand tools and a car, working long, hard days in his mission to give every customer their “money’s worth”. As Austin grew, the business grew, and so has the Christianson family. Over the decades, the second, third, and now fourth generations have joined the family business. The family opened an office in San Antonio in 1978, and our newest location, in the Belton/Temple Central-plex, in 2006.
Our Mission
If there was only one thing that really mattered to our granddad, it was to make sure that, as he liked to say, “customers got their money’s worth”. The Christianson Family wants you to experience true value in the services and products you purchase, and for that reason, our mission is: Building lifetime relationships with those we serve by providing products and services that exceed industry standards for quality, and making our combined skills and resources available to meet our customers’ needs.
Excellence
One of our core principles is that we don’t settle for mediocrity. As we like to say, “excellence makes the difference between good and great”. Our customers engage us for our expertise in our respective trades. When it comes to plumbing and HVAC, it takes many years of experience to make the difference between being just a mediocre tradesman and an expert who delivers excellence. We’ve been passing that experience down for four generations. When you choose Christianson, you’re choosing an experienced team of experts who have been doing plumbing and HVAC for literally their entire careers.
Reliability
A Christianson customer is more than a customer; they are our neighbors and friends and part of the communities we call home and we desire to build lifetime relationships with our neighbors. With roots dating back to 1950, you can count on us to be here tomorrow. We will be here to repair the equipment that we installed 10, 15, and 20 years ago.
Honor God in All that We Do
Another core value comes from our belief that God has entrusted us with a responsibility to be servants to our neighbors. Because of the great sacrifice provided to us through His Son, Jesus Christ, we exist to honor God first. We truly give Him credit for the many blessings bestowed upon us through the business. Because we want to please Him, you will find integrity and honesty at the core of our moral code, because that’s how business is done at Christianson.
People Who CARE
We have assembled an extraordinary team of technical experts who, combined, have earned more than a thousand years of experience in our business. Many of them have tenures with our company in excess of 20 years. You don’t get this kind of commitment from an employee who doesn’t CARE about the job or the customer. At Christianson, CARE is not just a word but an acronym that helps us to remember the personal qualities necessary for life.
Character is defined by what you do when no one is watching,
Attitude is what makes the impossible possible
Responsiveness begins by seeking first to understand rather than to be understood
Excellence makes the difference between good and great.
For more than 75 years, we have worked hard to become known throughout Central and South Texas as People Who CARE.
