IT HAPPENED OVER 90 YEARS AGO

In 2016 the Snelling Company celebrated 85 years of providing whole house comfort to Twin Cities homeowners.

In 1931, a loaf of bread cost 8 cents and the average new car cost $640. The unemployment rate was over 16% and the average wage was less than $2,000 per year. These were the economic conditions when a woman who sold vegetable shredders at a St. Paul department store and her 22-year-old son decided to start a coal delivery business. Today that business, The Snelling Company, celebrates 90 years of serving Twin Cities homeowner’s home comfort needs – with installation of new heating and air conditioning equipment, plus service on existing units.

As a 90-year-old family-owned and operated business, The Snelling Company is proud of its sterling reputation — earned over nine decades and four generations. Over the years, they have evolved from coal delivery into a full-service heating, ventilation, and air conditioning business. Throughout its history, the company has concentrated on keeping our customer’s homes comfortable, no matter what the weather.

One key reason for their success has been dedication to quality service along with innovative technology including new energy efficient equipment. The Snelling Company has earned the trust and confidence of thousands of customers across the metro area by providing fast, reliable, and efficient service and installation.

For the last 40 years the company has been headed by Philip Krinkie, who literally “grew up” in the heating and air conditioning business. Under Philip’s leadership, the Snelling Company continues a long tradition of commitment to professional excellence, employee training and uncompromising customer service. This great customer service is why the Snelling Company has an ever-growing number of satisfied customers. Today Philip is joined by his nephew, Chad Krinkie, as the fourth generation in the business. Chad’s goal is to continue the tradition of quality service and comfort solutions for Twin Cities homeowners.
