A 70+ year legacy built on honesty, expertise, and treating every customer like family.
In 1949, in the heart of San Bernardino, the Ballard family founded a small plumbing company on a simple but powerful principle: treat every customer with the same care and honesty you'd give your own family. Post-war Southern California was growing rapidly, and homeowners needed tradespeople they could trust.
With nothing more than a work truck, a set of tools, and an unwavering commitment to quality, the Ballard family began building relationships that would span generations. That first year, every job was an opportunity to prove that integrity and skill still mattered in business.
As the Inland Empire expanded through the 1970s and 1980s, so did Ballard Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning. The second generation of Ballards joined the family business, bringing fresh energy while preserving the values that made the company trusted throughout the region.
It was during this era that the company expanded into HVAC services, recognizing that families needed reliable heating and air conditioning in Southern California's extreme temperatures. The dual-trade expertise became a hallmark of the Ballard brand—one company, complete comfort solutions.
Today, the third generation of the Ballard family leads the company into the future while honoring seven decades of tradition. Modern technology, advanced training, and cutting-edge equipment complement the same old-fashioned values that built this business.
With 191 five-star reviews and counting, Ballard Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning continues to serve many of the same families—now in their third and fourth generations—that first trusted the Ballard name back in 1949.
