Ballard Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning is one of the oldest family-owned and locally operated residential plumbing, heating, and air conditioning companies in Southern California. Since 1949, four generations of the Ballard family have been serving homeowners throughout the Inland Empire, with an approach built upon a proud heritage of uncompromising customer service and top-quality products.

Our company’s history begins with our founders, Lohman and Elizabeth Ballard. Lohman, who hailed from Kentucky, managed his family’s farm and worked on the railroad during winter. He brought Elizabeth and their eight children to San Bernardino to find new opportunities and more comfortable weather.

Lohman’s reputation for responsive service at a fair price spread throughout the Inland Empire and the family business grew. Son-in-law Gene Montano added air conditioning to the company’s services in 1956, growing the company while remaining faithful to the values Lohman and Elizabeth established.

Today, the company is operated by Lohman’s grandsons, Dennis and Mike Montano, and several fourth-generation Ballards are among our employees. California has grown, and home comfort technology has seen dramatic changes, but we’ve been proud to continue as a family-owned company that celebrates and upholds our founders’ values. That’s why homeowners in the Inland Empire know they can count on Ballard Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning to keep their families safe and comfortable all year-round.
