Valley Refrigeration Service, established in 1937, has been a cornerstone in providing essential HVAC, refrigeration, and commercial cooking equipment services in the Cincinnati area for over eight decades. Founded by Edward Anton Sr. in Elmwood, the company emphasized local service, operating strictly within the city's seven hills—an approach that has been integral to its identity. Over the years, the business expanded notably, especially after Edward's sons joined in the 1960s and 1970s, growing from a small service endeavor to a leading refrigeration service provider in the Greater Cincinnati area.
By the 1980s, Valley’s reputation had soared, marking it as the top refrigeration service company with a fleet of 12 fully stocked trucks available for 24/7 emergency service throughout the tri-state area. The company transitioned to new ownership in 2020 when Sean Hulgin, who had been with the company since the late 80s, acquired it from Ken Anton. Under Sean's leadership, Valley Refrigeration has broadened its scope beyond refrigeration and HVAC services, now incorporating the installation and maintenance of commercial cooking equipment and exhaust hoods.
Valley is distinguished by its commitment to exceptional customer service and a robust service portfolio, ensuring that no job is too large or small. Their clientele includes high-profile installations at Paul Brown Stadium and Kaiser Pickle, as well as smaller setups like local gas stations. The company's ethos remains rooted in strong partnerships with clients, reflected in their responsive 24/7 service approach to avoid costly downtimes for businesses. Today, Valley Refrigeration Service proudly continues to uphold the legacy of reliability and expertise that has characterized its operations since its inception.
