NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Hiller Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical, a commercial and residential contractor based in Tennessee, was honored with Ruud’s 2023 Top Pro Partner Award.

Each year, Ruud evaluates contractors, naming those that deliver the highest standards of excellence in installation and service of HVAC equipment as its Pro Partners. The designation is determined based on the quality of a contractor's work, feedback from verified customers, and the volume of exceptional installations and repairs, a press release from Ruud said.

Hiller received its first Pro Partner award in 2015, ranking first among 20 contractors selected from a national pool. Each year since, Hiller has been named among the best of the best. The 2023 award, which was announced at a reception in Fort Worth, Texas, was Hiller’s ninth consecutive Pro Partner award.

“We are so proud to have been honored with our ninth Ruud Pro Partner Award this year,” said Jimmy Hiller, founder and CEO of Hiller Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical. “Like Hiller, Ruud is extremely committed to superior product installations, service, and maintenance. Their equipment helps us ensure that each family we serve is comfortable and happy in their home for years to come.”

Jimmy Hiller launched his company in 1990, with just $500 and a single truck, on values that have become signatures of the Hiller brand: integrity, professionalism, ongoing training, caring for others, clear and upfront pricing, and 24/7 emergency services, Ruud’s press release said. Today, Hiller is one of the nation’s largest privately owned home services companies, employing more than 800 associates with a fleet of more than 600 trucks across 17 locations in seven states.
