Our story

Seventeen years down the same road

From a single truck to a twenty-two city fleet — the promise never changed, we just got better at keeping it.

  1. 01
    2008

    One truck, one promise

    Ray Callahan started Northwind out of a single truck, answering the emergency line himself and driving across town at 2am to get families their heat back.

    First commercial contracts

    Word of mouth carried us from living rooms into offices, restaurants and retail - and our first preventative-maintenance agreements were signed.

    The fleet expands

    A fully-stocked fleet meant most repairs finished in a single visit. Same-day service stopped being a promise and became the standard.

    Still the neighbor you call

    Forty-eight certified technicians across twenty-two cities - and the same standard on a midnight callout as on a full commercial install.
