After working in the industry for years, Don Millard founded Bel-Red Heating and Air Conditioning in 1986 with the idea that he could provide better service to customers by doing it himself. While Don no longer services customers personally, this year BelRed celebrates our 35th anniversary in business, and we continue to be successful by providing great service to our customers!
How do we achieve the kind of success where most of our business growth comes from referrals from satisfied customers? By:
- Hiring the best staff
- Providing our people with ongoing, exceptional training and the tools to succeed
- Delivering an unmatched level of customer service
- Offering superior solutions, in terms of performance and return on investment, to homeowner needs
What started as a small service business has turned into one of the largest residential service and replacement businesses in Western Washington. We’ve expanded our business to include plumbing, electrical, geothermal and solar systems, plus a whole range of products that weren’t even available when Don started this business.
35+ years in business – a quarter-century of putting the customer first and delivering the best products and service.
We’ve also moved into Whole Home Performance Contracting, providing home energy audits and weatherization services through our BelRed Home Energy subsidiary. But in the end, our success is still predicated on a commitment to provide the highest possible level of service to customers while offering them the best available solutions to meet their needs.
BelRed’s legacy of innovation
