The PennZone

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - PennZone -- Late last year, a new home services company quietly launched in Albuquerque with a clear mission: to raise the standard for reliability, service, and professionalism in plumbing and HVAC. Today, 505 Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is already gaining attention for its rapid early success and service-driven approach.

Founded by David Hunter, owner of the well-established remodeling firm Hunter Builders, the company was born out of firsthand experience with a common industry problem—finding dependable, service-oriented plumbing professionals.

"For years, while running a kitchen and bathroom remodeling business, plumbing was one of the hardest trades to consistently source," said Hunter. "Too often, the service wasn't reliable, pricing lacked transparency, or communication fell short. It became clear there was a real need for a better experience."

Rather than continuing to work around those challenges, Hunter saw an opportunity to solve them.

Leveraging his background as a seasoned business owner in Albuquerque's remodeling market, Hunter applied the customer-first principles that helped Hunter Builders grow—clear communication, respect for the homeowner, clean job sites, and accountability—to a new plumbing and HVAC company. That vision became 505 Plumbing, Heating & Cooling.

"Homeowners don't just want a problem fixed—they want to feel confident about who they're letting into their home," Hunter explained. "We built this company around that idea. We treat every home like it's our own."

The company emphasizes upfront pricing, responsive communication, licensed technicians, and a commitment to showing up on time and doing the job right. While the home services industry is often associated with rushed jobs and inconsistent experiences, 505 Plumbing, Heating & Cooling aims to be different.

As Albuquerque continues to grow and homeowners demand higher standards from service providers, Hunter believes the timing is right.

With a strong foundation already in place, 505 Plumbing, Heating & Cooling plans to continue expanding its residential plumbing and HVAC services throughout Albuquerque while maintaining the same customer-focused approach that fueled its early success.
