About our Owner

Larry Metheny started working on air conditioning systems in 1975, building his skills on complex units and chillers in Texas before launching his first HVAC business just a few years later. After returning to Fresno in 1985, he founded Nalk AC and Heating with a clear mission — to bring expert care, honest service, and a family-first attitude to the Central Valley.

Today, Larry leads as Nalk’s estimator and service manager. He’s the kind of owner who has spent decades in the field, mentoring techs and helping homeowners face-to-face.

When he’s not supporting the team or solving comfort problems, you’ll find him camping, fishing, or off-roading with his grandkids. For Larry, great HVAC work is about more than equipment — it’s about people, family, and doing things right the first time.

The Hidden Costs of Private Equity HVAC Companies

Most homeowners don’t realize the company they called might be owned by private investors. That often means higher prices, less trust, and zero local accountability.

Here’s what can happen behind the scenes:

1

They Push Full Replacements

Instead of repairing what’s fixable, they’ll often upsell a new system to increase profits.

2

They Sell, Then Sell Again

These companies flip owners like real estate. You never really know who’s in charge.

3

They Cycle Through Technicians

Frequent turnover means inconsistent service and unfamiliar faces in your home.

4

They Prioritize Profits Over People

Customers come second to bottom lines. Service decisions are made far from your neighborhood.

5

They Inflate Prices

You could be paying 20% more for the same work, just to support investor profit margins.

6

They Take Your Dollars Out of Town

Every job you book helps someone else’s zip code, not Fresno or Clovis.

Read what our customers have to say about the Nalk difference

“I was told by another company my unit had to be replaced for over $10,000. Nalk came out, inspected everything, and said it was working fine. They even fixed a small gap in my system. Honest and professional.”

Michael F.

Fresno

“Ben explained why I didn’t need to replace my ductwork like another company suggested. He was focused on what my system needed, not upselling me. I’m switching to Nalk from now on.”

S.P. Dougherty

Clovis

“I’ve been with Nalk for years. Same friendly techs, same honest service. It feels like dealing with family, not a company. That kind of consistency is rare.”
