RussCo Heating and Cooling

RussCo Heating and Cooling works on one of the most important systems in any home or business: the heating and cooling that keeps indoor spaces comfortable year-round. These systems quietly do their job day after day, and when they suddenly fail, it quickly becomes more than an inconvenience. For many homeowners and businesses across Northwest Indiana, RussCo has become the company people call when they need someone knowledgeable, steady, and ready to restore comfort to their space.

CEO Russ Sherrow founded RussCo in 2007 after more than 40 years in the heating and cooling industry. Although he was satisfied at the company where he worked, he eventually reached a point where he felt it was time to build something of his own. Russ and his wife spent time thinking and praying about the decision before moving forward.

From the beginning, Russ wanted the business to be known for honesty and for treating people well whether the job was in a home or a business. He understands that when technicians enter someone’s space, trust matters. Customers appreciate having someone arrive who is respectful, approachable, and willing to explain what is happening with their system. Russ also places a great deal of trust in the people who work alongside him. Many are individuals he has known for years, and the business remains a true family effort with his wife closely involved and both his son and daughter working in the company.

One of the things Russ enjoys most about the work is helping people solve a problem. When someone calls because their heating or cooling system has stopped working, there is real satisfaction in diagnosing the issue and getting things running again. Over time, those service calls often turn into lasting relationships with customers whose equipment RussCo continues to care for year after year.

Many homeowners and business owners also choose to keep their equipment running smoothly through a preventative maintenance program. Designed for both residential and commercial customers, the program helps heating and cooling units operate at peak performance while identifying small issues before they turn into larger problems.

RussCo reflects the character of a family business that takes pride in doing careful work and treating people honestly. Customers often describe a company that is dependable, knowledgeable, and respectful. That reputation closely reflects the kind of business Russ set out to build.
