The Stilwell heating and cooling contractor is hiring an apprentice, a maintenance technician, a service technician and a lead installer to support homeowners across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas

United States, October 6, 2026 -- Girdner Heat and Air LLC, a family-owned heating and cooling contractor based at 11 N 1st St in Stilwell, Oklahoma, has announced four open field positions as the company continues to grow its team. The openings include an entry-level HVAC apprentice role with paid training, a full-time maintenance technician, a service technician and a lead installer. Each role is a W2 position with incentives, and the company describes all four as part of a growth path for people who want a long-term career in the trade.

Alex Girdner started the company in January 2023 with a simple goal: to bring better heating and air service to the local community. Before launching Girdner Heat and Air, Alex Girdner and Andrew spent years working for larger HVAC companies, where they saw how much customers value honest answers and clear communication. That experience shaped the way the business runs today. Technicians explain what they find in plain language, customers receive the price before work begins, and an "on-the-way" text message lets every household know when a truck is about to arrive.

In less than four years, the company has grown from a small local operation into a contractor licensed in both Oklahoma (#OK150297) and Arkansas (#AR0006563). Its trucks now travel to 19 communities in Eastern Oklahoma, including Stilwell, Tahlequah, Sallisaw, Muskogee and

Muldrow, and to 9 communities in Northwest Arkansas, including Fort Smith, Van Buren, Siloam Springs and Fayetteville. The company reports more than 205 five-star customer reviews, which can be read in the Girdner Heat and Air reviews on Google, and its phone line is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The company describes itself as rapidly growing, and the hiring push follows that growth. A wider service area brings more repair calls, more seasonal maintenance visits and more full system replacements. Together, the four positions cover every stage of that work, from the first diagnostic visit through to a finished installation.

The HVAC apprentice position is aimed at people who are new to the trade. It is an entry-level, local field role that comes with paid training, so a new hire can learn the work on real job sites alongside experienced technicians. The maintenance technician role is a full-time position focused on keeping existing systems running well through regular tune-ups and inspections. The service technician handles repair calls, and the lead installer guides new system installations from start to finish. Full details for each role are listed on the careers page of the company website.

The company states that it values the skill of each team member, respects time off and is looking for people who are reliable, honest and ready to grow. New team members will work on the full range of services the company provides, which includes air conditioning repair and installation, furnace repair and replacement, mini-split systems, ductwork, smart thermostats, zoning and indoor air quality equipment.

Repair work is a core part of the company's service. Summer heat across the region puts heavy strain on cooling systems, and the company provides air conditioning repair across EasternOklahoma and Northwest Arkansas for homes and small businesses. In colder months, the focus shifts to furnace repair for homes in Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. Mobile and manufactured homes are another specialty, since their tighter spaces and different duct layouts call for equipment rated for manufactured housing. Ductwork is also a frequent call. Leaky or damaged ducts can waste heated and cooled air before it reaches a room, and the company handles ductwork repair for homes across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas.

"I started this company because I believed people in this area deserved honest service and clear communication from the people working in their homes," said Alex Girdner, Owner and CEO of Girdner Heat and Air LLC. "That same idea applies to the people who work here. We're always looking for skilled, motivated people who take pride in their work, and we want them to grow with a team that values their skill and their time off. That's why the apprentice role comes with paid training."

The company has also built its reputation on the conduct of its crews inside customers' homes. Customer reviews published on the company website describe technicians who arrive on time, clean up after the job and take time to answer questions. Those habits reflect the standard the company sets for every crew it sends out.
