A Humble Beginning
In the heart of the Ozarks, a small family-owned business began with a simple dream: to provide comfort to every home and business in the region. Knight Heating & Air Conditioning started as a two-person operation in a tiny garage in Nixa, MO. Armed with determination and a toolbox, John and Mary Knight set out to revolutionize the HVAC industry in their community.

The early days were challenging. Competing against established companies in Springfield, MO, the Knights faced numerous obstacles. However, their commitment to quality service and customer satisfaction soon began to pay off. Word spread about their reliable boiler repairs and efficient AC installations, and before long, they were the go-to HVAC specialists in Ozark, MO.
Growing with the Community
As their reputation grew, so did their team. Knight Heating & Air Conditioning expanded, hiring local talent and investing in state-of-the-art equipment. They never lost sight of their core values, treating each customer like family and each home as if it were their own.

Overcoming Adversity
