Josh Huite didn't just take over a heating and air company. He took on a responsibility to a community he's called home his whole life.
A Du Quoin, Illinois native, Josh has spent decades in the HVAC trade. Long enough to know exactly what the industry gets wrong. Most home service companies treat every call like a transaction. Show up, fix it, leave. Josh built Collards around a different idea entirely.
"Create convenience with excellence."

That means when Collards shows up to your home, you're not just getting a technician. You're getting a team that communicates clearly, respects your space, explains what they found, and makes the whole experience feel less like a hassle and more like having a neighbor who happens to know everything about home comfort.

Since taking over Collards Heating & Air, Josh has been building something bigger, a full home services company rooted in Southern Illinois, staffed by people who actually care, and driven by a standard that goes well beyond just fixing what's broken.

HVAC is just the beginning.  Because Southern Illinois deserves a home services company that shows up, does it right, and makes it easy every single time. That's what Josh is building. That's Collards.
