When choosing an HVAC company in Denver, you probably check reviews, experience, and pricing. But there’s another question you may want to ask:
Who actually owns the company?
Across the home services industry, many familiar local HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies have been acquired by private equity firms and larger home-service platforms. Often, the company keeps its previous name, trucks, and branding, making the ownership change difficult for customers to recognize.
That’s where WhoOwnsYourHVAC.org can offer clarity.
WhoOwnsYourHVAC.org is a free resource that helps homeowners research who owns HVAC companies. It uses publicly available information to identify whether businesses are independently owned, private equity-backed, investor-backed, franchise-affiliated, or still under review.
The website was created by Colorado HVAC industry veteran Cameron Ferguson after seeing firsthand how difficult it can be for homeowners to know who is actually behind the company providing their estimates.
Ferguson encountered homeowners who believed they were getting estimates from competing local companies when those companies were actually connected through the same larger ownership platform.
Ownership doesn't automatically determine whether a company provides good or bad service. Great technicians work for companies of all types.
But homeowners deserve transparency.
When you're trusting a company with your home's heating and cooling systems — and potentially making an investment of thousands of dollars — we here at Bell believe you should know who you're doing business with.
Something we're very proud of: WhoOwnsYourHVAC.org lists Bell Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical as independently owned.
Bell was founded in Denver in 1926, and in 2026 we're proud to celebrate our 100th anniversary serving Colorado homeowners. While a lot has changed over the past century, our commitment to the community we call home hasn't.
We still offer you:
Before choosing your next HVAC contractor, visit WhoOwnsYourHVAC.org and research the companies you're considering.
And while you're there, look up Bell.
We're proud to remain an independently owned Colorado company committed to serving our neighbors for the long term.

“We knew replacing our furnace and HVAC system was on the horizon, but rather unexpectedly had to deal with the situation after one of the recent very hot days. Bell immediately responded to our request for an appointment, and after a thorough review…explained what we were facing and gave us options for proceeding…You may receive a less expensive estimate for your project, but you won't receive better service. The entire team made the experience as painless as possible. Thanks to Bell, we're ready for the next hot day!” - Lynne B.
“Last week had our furnace and AC replaced…and the team did an awesome job on the installation. They are very thorough, conscientious, communicative, and overall good people. I’m thankful to be a Bell Perks member and know when these things happen, I can trust Bell.” - Dave K.
“Bell's HVAC Technician was brilliant. He knew every detail of our furnace and how everything worked and should work and seemed to care about it working well on a personal level. He knows these systems inside and out and solved our issues easily. Highly recommended!!” - David T.
“Our Bell HVAC technician came out to fix our air conditioner. He diagnosed the issue right away and was able to repair it and got the AC up and running again within an hour. We have an older AC unit and I really appreciate that he did not try to upsell us. He also provided some good information about units when it is time to replace it in the future." - Colleen A.
