Middleton Heat & Air

What Middleton Heat & Air does

Middleton Heat & Air is a privately-held, family-founded HVAC services contractor headquartered in Bryant, Arkansas, operating since 1976. The company delivers installation, repair, replacement, and maintenance of residential and commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems through five physical branch offices across Central Arkansas (Little Rock, Bryant, Conway, Hot Springs) and Northwest Arkansas (Springdale), supported by a 50,000 sq. ft. sheet metal fabrication facility.

The company's technical footprint spans conventional split systems, heat pumps, geothermal systems, VRF (Mitsubishi, Daikin), and building automation controls built on Distech EC-Net and Tridium with Bacnet MSTP/IP, Lon Ft-10, and Nlight protocols. It services equipment from Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Rheem, York, Goodman, Amana, Ruud, Honeywell, ABB, and Danfoss. On the commercial side, ten integrated operating divisions (Design/Build, Retrofit/Special Projects, Commercial Service, Commercial HVAC, Sheet Metal, Controls, Maintenance, Fabrication) bid as prime contractor on design/build, plan/spec competitive bid, and negotiated projects for schools, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, churches, restaurants, and retail centers.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time installation and repair services, commercial project contracts, and an annual Maintenance Membership subscription ($99-$199/year) covering 8,000+ Central Arkansas households with bi-annual tune-ups, repair discounts, and 24/7 emergency response. Add-on revenue comes from geothermal installations, indoor air quality products (iWave-R, REME Halo, Nest Learning Thermostat), and customer-financed equipment purchases through Wells Fargo, GoodLeap, Microf, and Balboa Capital. The company self-describes as one of Arkansas' largest and most trusted HVAC operators, with 80+ EPA-certified technicians trained through its Middleton University program and 4.7-4.9 star Google ratings across all branch locations.
