Ian Barbour — Founder, Air Force Veteran, 29 Years in the Trades
Ian Barbour served two years in Iraq with the U.S. Air Force before bringing that same discipline and attention to detail into the trades. With nearly three decades of hands-on experience, he founded Barbour Heating & Air in 2017 with a straightforward goal: give homeowners in Calhoun, Jackson, and the surrounding counties an HVAC and plumbing company they could actually trust.
That means showing up when we say we will, pricing jobs transparently before the work begins, and sending technicians who are EPA certified, licensed (#7115508), and accountable by name — not just by company van.
Ian holds a 4.9-star rating on Google because the work earns it, not because the reviews are managed. If you want to know what customers say about working with us, our reviews page has the full picture.

Part of the Community, Not Just Passing Through
