What Does L&H Stand For?

Everyone always asks, "What does LH stand for?" Our initials LH stand for Larry Hameister, our Founder.

L & H Services Inc. began in 1979 when Larry decided he wanted more from life. He quit his factory job and pursued his dream of owning his own business. Starting from humble beginnings, Larry worked out of his home servicing neighbors' toasters, hair dryers, appliances, water heaters, water softeners, furnaces, and air conditioners.

L & H Services Inc. grew by referrals—neighbors telling neighbors about the honest, reliable service they received. Soon Larry moved L & H Services Inc. into prime commercial property, and the company continued to expand.

During the early 1980s, Larry's son Mike started assisting on jobs. In 1982, L & H Services Inc. was one of the first contractors to install high-efficiency HVAC and geothermal heat pump systems—technology that was cutting-edge at the time and remains our specialty today.

A Family Legacy of Service

In 1986, Larry and Mike realized their true passion was in the HVAC industry. They began offering a full product line for replacement, new construction, and light commercial work. In 1988, Mike became an "official" full-time employee, and the father-son team continued building the business together.

In 1997, L & H Services Inc. was incorporated. The company continued growing, adding a Plumbing Division in 2007 and partnering with Green Guidance Inc. in 2013 to offer energy-efficient solutions through insulating and air sealing.

In 2015, Larry officially retired, and Mike purchased L & H Services Inc. Under Mike's ownership emerged a new logo, a new vision, and a clear sense of direction. In 2016, L & H Services Inc. acquired Green Guidance Inc. and opened a second location.

Mike's Vision: Transparent Customer Service

Mike's vision is to deliver the highest level of transparent customer service. That means honest assessments, upfront pricing, quality workmanship, and treating every customer like family.

Today, our fleet of reliable vehicles allows us to meet your service needs faster, and our team of skilled technicians carries forward the values Larry instilled from day one: integrity, quality, and genuine care for our customers.

Over 45 years of trusted service. From Larry's dream in 1979 to a full-service HVAC company today, L & H Services Inc. continues the tradition of excellence. Contact us to experience the difference.
