40 years of HVAC
Excellence takes
FORTITUDE
Forty Years Forward
HEP proudly celebrates 40 years of commercial HVAC excellence. It takes fortitude to last – strength of character, toughness of spirit, firmness of purpose. These values are how we’ve been getting the job done for four decades. Take a look back at where we started.
THROUGH SERVICE
As ASHRAE International president in 2008, Bill promoted the mission: “Maintain to Sustain” around the world through speaking engagements, presentations and leadership. With over 50 years of service to the organization, Bill is an ASHRAE Fellow and continues to remain engaged and active.
SERVING
our associates
through leadership
Most HVAC companies can look pretty similar on the outside. When you look a little closer, HEP stands out. Our average employee tenure –10 years – is long in a field where turnover can be high. We give our associates the freedom to do amazing things. They identify and solve problems in every aspect of their job, on every job site, every day.
Our HVAC associates must like it here: HEP was named “One of the Best Places to Work in Arkansas” in 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, and “One of the Best Places to Work in Oklahoma” in 2020 and 2021. We like to think that has something to do with the clients we serve, the kind of work we do, and the way we get along with both.
Every best place
must be a
SAFE PLACE.
Safety is the core of everything we do. We maintain a top safety rating and have been recognized for this with the AGC Safety award. Our commitment to HVAC safetyis recognized by our .68 EMR rating. That testifies to the training and care we invest in our employees and clients.
