Original Kingwood AC & Heating opened its doors in 1982 and has been providing heating, ven- tilation and air conditioning services to Kingwood residents for the better part of 42 years. The history The idea for the company came when owner and founder Stephanie Marquard said she noticed a need for HVAC work in Kingwood. Despite being a speech pathologist at the time, the Kingwood resident said she thought she could help meet the needs of the growing community. Marquard said the company started with one
pickup truck and the dream of becoming a staple in the HVAC industry. Today, the business has expanded its team and oce to provide mainly residential work for those within a 20-mile radius of Kingwood. “It was somewhat of a jump. I was teaching at the time, noticed a gap in the market and decided that’s where my interest lied,” Marquard said. Marquard said the company got the ball rolling by providing quality work and making sure it was consistent with its marketing and advertising. The business plans on expanding its services to include generators in the next year, she said.
