History

My father, Brenton H. Artz, started his career out in HVAC working for the restaurant chain called White Tower, in Massachusetts. He took care of all their HVAC, and refrigeration. The company expanded to Connecticut where he continued to work for them. Over time, the company went out of business and in 1959 he formed his own company called Maintenance & Refrigeration.

He started his company with one service truck and proceed to make a name for himself as a family owned and operated business in the State of Connecticut; along with my seven brothers and one sister, we would help my father and therefore we learned the trade as well. Out of eight siblings, five are still in the trade today.

My father would fix anything from a toaster oven to biggest HVAC roof top units of that time, which brings us to the next generation, where, I Gerald M. Artz, in 1989, took over the company as president and CEO that is now known as M&R Heating, Cooling & Refrigeration. Along with my two brothers Carl and Anthony, we continue to carry on the services and traditions throughout the State of Connecticut, that my father would be proud of knowing that his company is still going strong. We continue to be a family owned and operated business providing the same quality and commitment that my father gave 24 hours a day, 365 days a year of his life.

In closing, I would like to say, it gives me a great satisfaction to continue the level of service that we have been providing Connecticut since 1959.

Thank you, for allowing us to service you.

Sincerely,

Gerald M. Artz
President & CEO
