Who We Are.

In 1974…

Dick and Kitty Berg founded their residential HVAC company in San Pedro River Valley.

Forgoing a formal high school education, Dick followed his father into the HVAC industry at 14. He met his bride in Phoenix, and they moved south to complete a Nogales subdivision for his employer in 1970. They fell in love with the region and never looked back.

For over three decades, Dick and Kitty would grow annual revenues to over $2M across Cochise County and Ft. Huachuca. Prior to their deaths in 2002 and 2013, respectively, they put food on the tables of countless Arizona families and made an indelible impact on the community.

In 2002, Dick and Kitty’s children took over operations, and each assumed 1/3 equity control in 2013.

As Treasurer, Kathi Johnston managed all financial aspects of the company, including A/R, A/P, payroll, general ledger, tax, and insurance, which she still does today. She started at Berg’s in 1981. Kathi’s husband, Charley Johnston, bookended 40+ years as an HVAC/R master technician at Berg’s. He worked on DoD contracts across the US, Kosovo, Jordan, and Iraq in the years between. He’s currently a technical advisor.

Rick Berg served as President, building the residential division into a consistently profitable $2M business. He continues to advise the leadership of this business today between time spent team roping in arenas across the southwest. He started with his father in 1975.

As Vice President, Mark Berg designed and ran the commercial travel effort, positioning Berg’s at the transom of 8-figure revenue. He retired in ‘22 after a storied 44 years in the HVAC industry.

In 2021, Dick and Kitty’s grandson, Tyler Johnston, began advising the company on a turnaround. His scope included financial, operational, and human assessments as well as significant overhead reduction, growth of the commercial pipeline, and the initiation of a digital and operational transformation.

In April 2022, Tyler assumed full operational control of his grandparents’ company, consolidated under Berg Enterprises, Inc.

A year later, in 2023, his team made the decision to split the residential and commercial sides of the business into two separate organizations so that each could grow to their full potential. As a result, Berg’s Heating and Air Conditioning Co. was reintroduced to Cochise County with a new look, but the same commitment to quality we’ve had all these years.
