About Binder

Binder Heat & Air started out of a St. Paul family garage in 1927 and has grown to provide thousands of homeowners and businesses in the Twin Cities with trusted, reliable heating and air conditioning services.

Family Owned & Operated Since 1927

In 1927, Andrew and Ida Binder started an architectural sheet metal shop in their garage and trained their son Jerry to fabricate materials and eventually run the family business. When Jerry took over, he moved the company out of the garage to a formal shop on Butler Street in West St. Paul.

In 1963, Jerry passed down the company to his nephews Dick and Eugene, who shifted the focus to heating and air conditioning services and moved the business to our current location on Hardman Avenue in South St. Paul. Rick Binder owned and ran the company for 20 years himself before selling the company to the current fifth generation owners.

Today Michael & Karissa Binder own and operate the company.
