Our story

A homegrown business, built on long-term partnerships.

Roots Heating & Air team at work

Here at Roots Heating & Air, we are Rooted in People. While the comfort of your home is our number one priority, our other overarching goal is to make friendships with our customers and a culture of employees that feel like family.

We're a homegrown business, which means we know how critical it is to provide quality, honest services so that we cultivate long-lasting partnerships with our customers. Said simply, we do everything we can to provide you with the customer experience we would want to receive ourselves.

Not only do we offer our customers a combined 20+ years of experience, but our team is also always personable, on time, and transparent about our services and privacy policy before starting any work. We know that heating and cooling issues can be frustrating and stressful — particularly when the Denver temperatures are at their worst. Our main priority is to re-establish a comfortable temperature in your space as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Roots also strongly believes in employing a fulfilled workforce. To achieve the superior customer experience we provide, it's imperative that our staff feels appreciated, earns a wage that allows their families to reach their own goals, and has the tools to succeed on a daily basis.

What guides us

Our mission & values.

Improve Quality of Life & Comfort Through Compassion, Honesty and Thoroughness. That's not a slogan — it's the standard every job is measured against.

Compassion

A broken furnace in January isn't just an inconvenience — it's stressful. We treat every call like it matters, because to the family on the other end, it does.

Honesty

Transparent about our services and pricing before starting any work. Free second opinions on repair or replacement quotes — because the right answer beats the bigger ticket every time.

Thoroughness

Punctual, prepared, and meticulous. We evaluate each home specifically and tailor the solution for lower energy consumption — not just whatever's easiest to install.

Our owners

Meet the people
behind Roots.

Both owners bring an unusual mix of backgrounds to HVAC — finance, real estate, logistics, and customer service. That diverse foundation shapes how we run jobs, treat customers, and stand behind our work.

Kelly Peterson, Owner

Kelly Peterson

Owner

Kelly is a graduate of Colorado State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. Prior to entering the HVAC industry, Kelly worked as a Financial Accountant, and before that in customer service.

That financial discipline is why Roots is one of the only HVAC companies in the metro offering 0% interest financing with payments as low as $60/month — because comfort shouldn't depend on having $11,000 in the bank.

Sean Thompson, Owner

Sean Thompson

Owner

Sean is a graduate of UC Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Arts in Global Economics and Politics, plus a Minor in Sports Management. Prior to HVAC, Sean worked as a Licensed Commercial Real Estate Broker and a domestic Logistics Coordinator.

His logistics background is the reason a Roots crew shows up on time, with the right parts, and finishes the job clean. Coordinating tradespeople is a craft of its own.

"I'm a general contractor in the Denver area and we've been using Roots for years — couldn't recommend them more! Fast response time, extremely knowledgeable and do what it takes to get the job done. Recently I had a time sensitive HVAC problem at Kelly and Shayne handled it for me immediately."
