Area Heating & Cooling, Inc. was founded in 1975 by Marlin Tillman. Mr. Tillman built the business by himself, with just a few employees, while working out in the field installing HVAC equipment. By 1986, through earning the trust and respect of local builders and residents, Mr. Tillman was staffing three separate departments: service, retrofit, and new construction installation crews. Marlin's business ethics demanded treating his customers and employees with honesty, while always standing behind our work and ensuring customer satisfaction. Mr. Tillman’s dedication to his business was respected by all, and he formed a leadership role in the community.
In 1988, Marlin hired Tina Blackmore and Swaran Battan to operate and manage the administration side of his business. Tina, freshly out of high school and Business Trade School, was born and raised here in Clark County. Both of her parents were self-employed, and Tina was raised on a farm with strong work ethics. Swaran started working at Area Heating & Cooling, Inc. in her early twenties, and was born in the Fiji Islands. Also raised with entrepreneurial parents that owned a local bus transit business, Swaran possesses the same strong work ethics as Tina.
