ANC Heating & Air Conditioning, a family-owned heating and cooling company serving Endicott, New York, since 1963, is raising awareness about the growing trend of out-of-state corporations acquiring local HVAC businesses and the impact this has on homeowner service quality.
The company recently released an educational video addressing concerns that many heating and cooling contractors appearing to be local businesses have actually been purchased by large corporations based outside New York. This acquisition trend has significant implications for homeowners seeking reliable, personalized HVAC services.
"When homeowners call for heating or cooling service, they expect to reach a truly local company that understands their community's specific needs," said Lloyd Knecht, spokesperson for ANC Heating & Air Conditioning. "Many customers don't realize their longtime HVAC contractor may no longer be locally owned, and they often notice the difference in service quality, response times, and pricing after these corporate acquisitions occur."
The distinction between genuinely local contractors and those owned by distant corporations affects multiple aspects of service delivery. Local ownership typically means faster response times during emergencies, more flexible scheduling, and decision-makers who live in the same communities they serve. Additionally, locally owned businesses reinvest in their communities through local employment, partnerships with area suppliers, and support for community organizations.
ANC Heating & Air Conditioning remains one of the few independently operated HVAC contractors in the Greater Binghamton and Ithaca regions. The company maintains its headquarters on Jennings Street in Endicott and continues to be operated by the same family that founded it over six decades ago.
The company's commitment to local ownership has earned recognition, including an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, consumer top-rated status, and features in national publications including USA Today. The business has also been voted number one in its service area for 30 consecutive years and maintains a 4.7+ star rating on Google Reviews.
"Homeowners should ask their HVAC contractor directly about ownership structure," added Knecht. "Understanding whether you're dealing with a Locally Owned HVAC Contractor in Endicott New York, versus a corporate-owned entity helps set proper expectations for service, pricing, and accountability."
The company serves residential and commercial clients throughout the region, including Endicott, Ithaca, Binghamton, Dryden, Lansing, Cortland, Trumansburg, Newfield, Danby, and Groton. Services include heating system installation and repair, air conditioning maintenance, ductless mini-split systems, indoor air quality solutions, and commercial HVAC services.
