Norton’s Heating is a family owned and operated business that was started in 1995 by Rick Norton at his hobby farm in rural Bemidji, MN.

 In addition to residential and light commercial HVAC applications, Norton’s Heating has serviced and installed several ventilation systems in commercial kitchens, including make up air units and commercial range hood exhaust systems.  In the spring of 2008 Norton’s Heating added a dedicated commercial kitchen division with the purchase of a commercial kitchen range hood cleaning and fire suppression system business.  With the purchase of the business came 26 customers.  With the help of two – 2 man cleaning crews, an inside sales manager and an outside salesman, our customer base is now 469 customers strong.  Our motto is ‘Setting the Standard in Restaurant Services’ and we believe that philosophy is responsible for our outstanding growth.  From the cleaning crews to the office staff, we take the extra time to make sure our customers are satisfied and they have received the best possible service.  When our crews arrive to our customer’s site, we take care to provide the services they need, including taking before & after pictures, pulling out the cook line equipment, cleaning of the back wall & floor behind the cook line, in addition to a thorough cleaning of the hood, filters and grease ducts including removing and cleaning the exhaust fan.  We also clean the kitchen appliances when requested.  When our crews have finished with the cleaning, all equipment is replaced and we ensure that the kitchen system is working properly.  If the fire suppression system is due to be serviced, we also provide semi-annual suppression system services for all types of systems, installation of new systems and upgrades to existing systems.
