The quiet flex: buy the equipment here and the spend counts.

Public work comes with participation goals.
The equipment you were buying anyway is the easiest way to meet them.

Hospitals, schools, city jobs, federal facilities. Somebody on that project has to hit a certified-supplier number, and it is usually the person least equipped to go find one late.

Buy the equipment from Hillco Distributing and the spend counts. Same units, same lead times, one less problem for whoever is assembling the compliance package. How it works on government and public projects.

Every heater made.
From boilers to HVLS fans.

Heaters are how people know Hillco Distributing. The line card runs from boilers and pumps to rooftop units, makeup air, ductless splits, air curtains, and HVLS fans. Whatever the spec calls for, Hillco Distributing sources it and gets it to your shop or your site on time.

And because Hillco Distributing is a distributor and not a rep, we are not married to a brand.

One call does it: (312) 492-8844
