Community Business Founded in 1978

The humble beginning of B&S Heating and Cooling in 1978 started in the garage of Skip Buehrle, along with his partner Norman Schuenemeyer. Allen Klenke purchased part of the company in 1985. B&S moved to our current location in Union on Oak Street in 1986 and Norman retired in 1990. Skip, his wife Pat and Allen ran the enterprise until June 2017 when Chris and David Melies bought the company, Skip and Pat retired and Allen stayed on as a part time technician. Chris now manages the company after spending 10 years as a technician learning the trade from Skip and Allen. Our office is staffed by Diana Bolzenius and Elaine Courtouise. Technicians are Scott Filla, Steven Dudley, Emmett Parker and Kevin Losson. ​
