Stith Plumbing & HVAC has deep roots in this region.
The company was founded in 1965 by Gary Stith’s father and uncle. They built the business on a simple idea. Do honest work. Treat customers right. Stand behind every job.
Gary Stith joined the family business in 1992. He learned by working inside the company, solving real plumbing and HVAC problems for real customers. In 1998, he bought the business and continued the standards his family had established decades earlier.
Today, Stith Plumbing & HVAC remains family-owned and committed to the same principles that shaped the company from the beginning. Solve the problem. Restore comfort. Treat people with respect.
ABOUT US
Stith Plumbing & HVAC
Your home and your building depend on systems you rarely think about until they stop working.
Water should flow when you turn the faucet.
Your heating system should keep the space warm when temperatures drop.
Your air conditioner should keep things comfortable when summer settles in.
A leaking pipe can damage walls, floors, and cabinets.
A failed furnace can leave a family cold.
An air conditioning breakdown can make a home or workplace miserable in a matter of hours.
When that happens, you need more than a company that can send a truck. You need people who know what they are doing, who can explain the problem clearly, and who can fix it correctly.
That is what Stith Plumbing & HVAC has been doing for Northwest Arkansas for generations.

Whether the need is a repair, replacement, installation, or ongoing maintenance, the goal is the same: restore dependable performance and reduce disruption.
For homeowners, that means comfort, safety, and peace of mind.
