WHY HETTER HEATING & COOLING

We are a family owned company and our goal is just that - to make you feel like family. You are not on your own after a Hetter installation. We don't ever want you to feel like a number. We truly look at our customers fundamentally differently than our competition. We want you as a life long customer. We want you to be a part of our family.

Our reasons are very simple. We want your referral. Referrals are the best form of advertising. Our goal with every installation and every service run is to not only make you happy, but make you happy enough to tell your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.

"The folks at Trane:
All the research that I did in comparing HVAC systems (Carrier, Bryant, etc) it seemed like other companies would compare themselves to Trane....There are a lot of companies in the Columbus, Ohio area that sell Trane. I was very fortunate to find a company that did a great job! That company was Hetter Heating & Cooling...Please note that I do not often participate in consumer surveys but I felt it was important to let you know the integrity and high STANDARDS this company has set for itself and to let you know that you are well represented by a company like Hetter Heating & Cooling."

We offer Maintenance Agreements with selected installations. Why? We want to prove to you that we are committed to your satisfaction - today, tomorrow and ten years from now. To us, that is the essence of the Hetter difference.

Hetter Heating & Cooling specializes in residential replacement systems. We strongly believe in consistently investing training dollars in our technicians. All our workers are our employees. They are all factory trained and EPA certified. All Hetter employees have passed a national background screen. Again, added value that is not only peace of mind for our customers, but just something else that separates us from our competition.

We are licensed and insured. Our customers commonly tell us that our guys are very professional, competent, knowledgeable and polite. We have numerous letters on our testimonial page stating just that.

According to industry research, as few as 1 job in 10 is installed correctly. Also, industry studies have shown that as much as 50% of A/C units tested had an improper refrigerant charge. Our commitment to you is the highest quality installation in the market.

ABOUT HETTER

Hetter Heating & Cooling owner & president John Hetterscheidt has chaired ACCA's Heat the Town program since its inception in 2004. John leads the effort every fall to bring together the best heating & cooling professionals in central Ohio who donate their time and talent to service the HVAC needs of the less fortunate.

John was elected central Ohio ACCA president in the Spring of 2009. After serving on the board of directors for many years, John’s passion not only for his company but his industry now is on full display. His goal is to separate ACCA member companies from non-members by an elevated standard of ethics but also providing a source for accountability to the consumer.

John purchased the family business from his father Dick in 1996. His passion for doing what is right for the customer has transcended the company resulting in a consistent annual double digit growth rate.

While other companies in our industry were laying off, Hetter's staff grew by 30% in 2008 alone with the addition of four new employees: a new GM, a salesperson, an installer and an office support person. Hetter also purchased a 23,000 square foot office & warehouse on Old Kenny Rd in May, 2008 to facilitate our growth.

"I wanted to write to express how impressed I was by the two men that installed my new furnace and air conditioner. They were quiet, efficient, hard working and willing to answer my questions. Everything was cleaned up when they left after explaining how the system worked, how to operate the humidifier and the thermostat. I felt your company had a fair price and also gave me the information needed to make an informed decision without being high pressured to sell me your deal. Kevin was accessible at any time to answer all questions by phone or email. I will definitely recommend your company."
