Heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, and backup power for Gilmore City homes and businesses. We're a short drive away in Humboldt, with a real person on the phone 24/7.
North Central Iowa Service provides 24/7 heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, and generator service to homes and businesses in Gilmore City, Iowa. We are based in Humboldt, about 13 miles to the northeast, and have served Gilmore City and the surrounding area for more than 17 years.
Gilmore City sits right on the Humboldt and Pocahontas county line, and it is one of the closer towns to our Humboldt shop, a short, easy drive. They call it Iowa's Limestone Capital for good reason: the quarries north of town have been cutting stone since the 1880s, and in 1929 they turned up crinoid fossils that put the place on the geologic map.
It is a small, settled town, which means the housing stock skews older, and older homes carry aging furnaces, dated wiring, and plumbing due for an update. Out on the surrounding farmland and acreages, private wells, hard water, and storm-season outages shape what service really requires. We handle all of it with one licensed crew.
North Central Iowa Service is backed by licensed credentials issued through the State of Iowa. Owner Mitch Fridolfson holds a master's license in electrical, mechanical, and plumbing, and the team includes multiple journeymen licensed through the Iowa Department of Public Health. We are also a U.S. Department of Labor registered apprenticeship program.

Local Conditions
Built for limestone country and older homes
Gilmore City is limestone country, sitting near the buried rim of the ancient Manson meteorite crater with active quarries just north of town. For homeowners, the limestone story shows up in the water: private wells out here often run hard, putting mineral scale on water heaters, fixtures, and softeners, which is steady work for our plumbing side.
In town, a small and settled population means an older housing stock, the kind that benefits from furnace and AC replacement, electrical panel upgrades, and plumbing modernization. The open prairie and harsh North Central Iowa winters drive heating demand and make standby generators worthwhile on rural acreages, and every heating call we run includes a carbon monoxide safety check.
What that means for service here:
Heating systems sized for real Iowa cold
Carbon monoxide checks on every heating call
Well-water plumbing and treatment
Standby generators for long rural outages
Panel and wiring upgrades for older homes
Geothermal for acreages with the land for it

Trusted across North Central Iowa.

Mitch was very helpful with all questions I had and he made sure we got the new heater we needed. His employees were very good at their jobs and they help us know why our air-conditioning went out. I truly appreciate all that they did and they did such a great job and our new heater looks great. Thank you for a job well done.

We have had amazing service with NCIS. Three years ago we put in a generator and had an electrical surge which in turn blew a fuse. My dad is on oxygen 24/7, I called at six in the morning and they were at my house within forty minutes. I live twenty minutes from their office. That was speedy service with that said I also put one in my own home. Again, great prompt service!!
