About Us

O'Connor Company was founded in 1970 by Irish and Mary O’Connor under two basic principles, comfort and service. For nearly half a century O'Connor Company has been rising to the challenge and meeting the demand for commercial HVAC equipment. Whether working with building owners, mechanical contractors or consulting engineers, we are here to provide continued expertise coupled with quality parts and equipment.
