Hi, my name is Joel Nieman. I’m the owner of AirAce Heating & Cooling. I grew up in Pekin Illinois. I joined the Navy after I graduated from Pekin Community High School. I spent 10 years in the Navy as a Hull Maintenance Technician.

In 1998, I came back to Central, Illinois where I worked as a Welding Supervisor for Parsons Company Inc. for 17 years. In 2014, I founded AirAce Heating & Cooling to meet the needs of the growing HVAC service industry in the Greater Peoria Area.

Testimonial

Wow here is your reminder that your mini split unit really needs a cleaning! So impressed with the customer service in this company from every interaction. The owner called me before my tech came as I needed clarity on the cleaning. Beth was our tech and so sweet & helpful.

Transparent pricing and personable staff! Beth was our technician on site and she did a thorough job inspecting/addressing our AC concerns. She was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to (gave a heads up on arrival time AND placed a follow up call to give us info on an energy audit referral contact I had asked about). X1000% will use again in the future!

S Hou

Beth demonstrated great professionalism and thoroughness; she is absolutely our preferred technician! Excellent work!

A Hagemann
