H.M. Sweeny Co. Inc., founded in 1946 by Mr. Henry M. Sweeny, is a locally owned and operated wholesale distributor specializing in air conditioning, heating, ventilation, and refrigeration (HVAC) parts and equipment. The company initially opened its doors in Washington, D.C., and over the decades, expanded its footprint, establishing headquarters in Landover, Maryland, and a second location in Rockville, Maryland. In 1978, the company was acquired by Mr. Angelos Backus, who played a pivotal role in enhancing the company's offerings by introducing HVAC training classes to educate those pursuing careers in this essential industry.
As a significant entity in the HVAC distribution sector, H.M. Sweeny has made strategic acquisitions, such as purchasing Larson Supply in 1985, a notable supply house in eastern Pennsylvania, and ABC Motors in 1990, which was one of the oldest and largest motor companies in Washington, D.C. Through its Turnkey Division, the company provides comprehensive maintenance and installation services tailored to the multi-family housing market.
With over 70 years of dedicated service to contractors, property management, and local and federal government agencies in the Mid-Atlantic region, H.M. Sweeny prides itself on quality customer education and personalized support.
