The journey of Air Controls commenced in 1972. Al Schaff, our owner, was employed at a furnace repair firm in Colorado. Determined to do more, he realized that the Colorado firm didn't want to share ownership, so he quit and headed north. With a few partners, he decided to establish a heating and cooling business in Billings. Although the business initially operated out of a modest garage, after a few years, Al continued his dream of running a thriving business.
His son, Chris Schaff, assumed the role of General Manager, and Chris still leads the company today. During 2002, Chris transitioned from the Bozeman shop to the Billings shop, working to maintain the company’s image. Chris holds the belief that partnerships and team members are the reason for our success.
After high school, Chris enlisted in the US Navy. Upon his discharge, he attended refrigeration school. Initially, he worked for Air Controls in Bozeman as a service technician until 2002. Then, he relocated to Billings to take on the General Manager position at Air Controls Billings. He is responsible for the routine business, both commercial and residential HVAC, HVAC estimating, and design aid.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Unfortunately, my furnace started working abnormally during the first cold spell this fall. I had another vendor respond to my service request. He diagnosed I needed a new furnace. He provided a bid within 72 hours but had a 4-6 week lead time. I checked with two other providers, both missed their scheduled commitments. I then contacted Air Controls. They were on time and discussed many options depending on your personal preference. they presented two options, if money was the determining factor or two, ""just do it right"". They had the equipment in stock and within 72 hours of contacting them, I had a new HVAC system. They followed up promptly on my every phone call, text, or email. The system is so efficient it barely runs and my heating bills have been 50% less than last year. I would highly recommend Air Controls to anyone having HVAC issues. Their knowledge and professionalism are by far the best in class. Thank you again for your making the entire process stress free.
Jo-Ellen C.The customer service is outstanding! I needed a new furnace and requested a quote. Ken, customer rep, was quick to provide an estimate that was better than any other local business. Stephen the installation guy was informative and provided quality workmanship. He went the extra mile to ensure I understood ""how to use my new thermostat."" I highly recommend Air Controls for anyone seeking fast, professional - quality service and products.
We've had our Lennox modulating furnace for a little over a year and it has been performing as promised. The estimator was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable with none of the salesman hype. At the complimentary one year inspection, the technician was very thorough and asked if we thought the furnace could be any better. He was able to address our requests in a timely and professional manner.
Tim B.Dave is the most professional Electrician I've ever seen. As a Flooring contractor I have witnessed some real air head electricians and down right dangerous dullards on job sites. Dave is not even close to one of these. He is meticulous in the way he neatly runs his wires in the most appropriate and safe fashion throughout a home. I would recommend him 100%!
Marie T.As a business manager, I often use Air Controls for my HVAC needs. They consistently show up when promised, have friendly and knowledgeable technicians, and quote me a fair price when I need work. They have been outstanding, and will continue to receive my business!
