GCP130 - River Cities Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration w/Eric Christensen
In this episode of the Grow Clinton Podcast, Andy and Jenny are joined by Eric Christensen of River Cities Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration, a member of Grow Clinton.
The parent company, M&A Mechanical, is a family-owned and operated HVAC and appliance business founded in 2017 by Eric and Shelly Christensen. A casual conversation at a gas station in the spring of 2017 led Eric and Shelly Christensen to acquire River Cities Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration from its founder, Mr. Don Carlson.
After many years of working in the field—moving from installer to service technician to foreman—Eric sought to follow in his family's footsteps by owning a small, family-operated business where he could give back to his community and provide an excellent workplace for his employees. What started with Eric and Shelly owning four service trucks on the road grew to twelve by the summer of 2024.
Today, M&A Mechanical offers a comprehensive range of HVAC services and installations, from residential furnaces, air conditioners, and boilers to commercial and industrial equipment.
From selecting the right HVAC system to troubleshooting appliance issues, their experienced professionals are here to help. With expert advice, reliable service, and a commitment to your comfort, they ensure you receive the specialized assistance you need every step.
