Twenty years ago, I was down on my luck and needed to change the direction of where my life was heading. That’s when I was walking down Morse Road and saw a sign outside a technical school building that said, “Classes Start Monday.”
While I wasn’t entirely sure what the classes were, I just knew I wanted a change. I walked in the double doors and asked about the sign out front. They had two types of paths I could follow: medical technology or a skilled trade, also known as HVAC. Can you guess which one I chose?
My journey began with the graduation of one man, a red pickup truck, a garage, and a dream. Today, that dream has blossomed into a thriving enterprise, Fire & Ice Heating and Air Conditioning, with its own building and warehouse, a team of 44 dedicated professionals, a fleet of 40 company vehicles, and a service area of over 26 communities within Columbus, Ohio, which is a testament to our ongoing commitment to service and excellence.
HVAC isn't our only passion; we are also committed to our environment and future generations. To show this dedication, we sponsor over 200 miles of Columbus highways and are dedicated to picking up over four tons of trash every month. Furthermore, we plant 1,000 trees every year and recycle all the materials we can, including but not limited to cardboard, precious metals, old systems, and electrical waste.
As our slogan goes, “Your Trust Is Our Business,” and we pride ourselves on being the most trustworthy, honest, and reliable HVAC company in the Columbus Metropolitan area. However, we couldn’t have become this big of a company without you, our loyal customers.
Every installation, maintenance call, and service inquiry has helped us improve and expand our capabilities. The feedback and trust from our customers have been instrumental in refining our services and enhancing our reputation in the community.
At Fire & Ice, we don’t cut corners and are the ones who will do it right, or we won’t do it at all. Your continued patronage and recommendations have truly shaped us, allowing us to reach new heights and accomplish our goals to serve you better.
Your trust in us not only motivates us to maintain our high standards on every job we complete, but it also fuels our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in our services.
Thank you for your continued support throughout the past 20 years, and here’s to 20 more!
Sincerely,
Scott Merritt (Owner & Founder)
