About Us

Dedicated to Quality Refrigeration Service Since 1967

Jim Bitzenhofer founded Jim Bitzenhofer Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Inc. in 1979. He started with one truck and a passion for providing excellent HVAC&R service. In 1995, Jim purchased Koch Refrigeration from Rich Koch. Rich founded Koch Refrigeration in 1967. The merger expanded our team of qualified technicians to serve a growing customer base. Jim sold the business to his son, Jim Bitzenhofer, and nephew, Tom Schaefer, in 2008. Jim and Tom began their careers with the company in 1992, continuing the traditions of hard work, dedication, and customer service today.

We would love to add you to our list of satisfied clients. Below, you'll find the names and pictures of every member of our team. Go on, get to know us a little better!
