Your Comfort Professional in the Niagara Region
J & S Heating And Air Conditioning was formed in 1956 by Mr. Gord Jenkins and Erzel Snetzinger. It was a small company with only three trucks and three servicemen to serve the St. Catharines area. J & S Heating And Air Conditioning primarily looked after commercial refrigeration, heating and cooling and farm cold storage needs.
We Expanded to Serve Your Residential Heating and Cooling Needs
As technology changed and modern times approached, J & S Heating And Air Conditioning changed as well. In 1974, new ownership saw J&S expand to serve the Niagara region. We also expanded our services to include residential heating and cooling and changed our name to J & S Heating And Air Conditioning.

Free Maintenance Advice
I called to request a service call/estimate to correct a problem I've had for more than two years. After having another ...company come to replace a motor on my furnace, the motor has run continuously. This has caused enormously on our electricity bill. The staff who answered helped me fix the problem with a few quick instructions. No fee, no need for service call. What a huge relief. Thank you J&S for your honor!
