A Century of HVAC Excellence
Since 1876, Schmitt Heating has been a name synonymous with quality in HVAC services and custom sheet metal fabrication. Now led by Greg Schmitt, the great-great-grandson of our founder, we continue to uphold our family’s tradition of excellence while embracing the latest innovations in HVAC technology.
Our History: From Humble Beginnings to Bay Area Leaders
Schmitt Heating Co., Inc. is a full-service heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) company which has served San Francisco and the immediate Bay Area for over 120 years.
Now owned and operated by Greg Schmitt, great- great-grandson of the original founder, this fifth-generation company continues to provide the same quality of service we have been known for in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1901.
Founded in 1876 in Colorado Springs by Jacob Schmitt, working with his son, George W. Schmitt, the company moved the business by train to Oakland, California in 1901, initially operating out of the very boxcars used to move. Although the public was skeptical due to the temperate California weather, the Schmitt family sold many furnaces. Meanwhile, George W.’s son, George P. Schmitt., had started working in the business at the age of 14. In 1921 George P. moved the business from Oakland to San Francisco, originally located on Ocean Avenue and eventually moving in 1932 to 3281 Mission Street. George P. was a manufacturer of DUPLEX furnaces which came to be known for their “soothing heat.”
Greg’s father (George A.) moved the business to the Richmond District in 1966 and ran it until 1994, when Greg took over. We now operate out of the Dogpatch neighborhood and cater to both residential and commercial clients throughout the Bay Area. Schmitt Heating is a company built on tradition while remaining on the cutting edge of technology.
Today, Schmitt Heating specializes in high-efficiency furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits and indoor air quality solutions. We are committed to using the latest technology to provide reliable, energy-efficient solutions for our customers. Above all, customer service and 100% customer satisfaction are our goals in every job we take on.
With now over 140 years of experience, we continue to uphold the values passed down through four generations: quality, integrity and unmatched customer care.
