Founded in 1932 by Norman V. Heathorn, N.V. Heathorn Co. began as a roofing-contracting firm during the Great Depression. Over the decades, the company evolved to specialize in HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning), plumbing, and architectural sheet metal services. Through their commitment to quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer service, they have built a solid reputation across the greater Bay Area.
Their services cater to a wide range of sectors, including commercial, medical, institutional, data centers, clean rooms, and aviation projects. N.V. Heathorn Co. is driven by a clear mission: to fulfill client visions through top-notch execution while adhering to timelines and budget constraints. They take pride in their strong endorsement of union labor, which further enhances their commitment to quality and integrity.
The company has seen leadership transition from Norman V. Heathorn to his son Tom, who took the reins in 1966, followed by his grandson Ted in 1996. Under their leadership, the business expanded into new markets and developed additional specialties that brought national recognition. Today, the team includes experienced professionals such as Dave Wenner, who leads mechanical construction operations, and Steve Hirst, who fosters business relationships and operational growth.
