We Built
the Company We Wanted to Call
Ridgeline is run by three Idaho Falls natives, Nick McIntier, Bridger Harris, and Ashton Quinton, born and raised right here. We started it for a plain reason: too many of us came up inside bigger shops and got tired of watching customers get talked into work they didn’t need. This is the honest option we wanted to build, staffed by named, licensed people you’ll actually meet, not a rotating cast of strangers.

A Family-Owned HVAC Company in Idaho Falls
Nick McIntier was born and raised in Jefferson County and went to school in Rigby. He started in HVAC at 17, right out of high school, spent years learning the trade under a handful of employers, married his wife Britnee, finished the four-year apprenticeship, and passed the Idaho contractor’s exam in 2021. Ridgeline has been going strong since.
The thread that runs through the whole company is the same one Nick started with. He and several of the senior techs came up inside bigger outfits and got tired of watching people get taken advantage of. Ridgeline exists to be the company that doesn’t do that: the best equipment and training in the area, honest technicians, fair pricing, and family values that aren’t just a line on a wall.
Why we started This
Rooted in Idaho Falls History
We work out of a building with real local history. It was the old Snow Rider shop, the first Arctic Cat dealer in the area, and Bridger’s great-grandfather ran it decades ago. The family didn’t even know that when they bought the company and moved in. Bridger’s grandmother recognized the building afterward, and some of the original signage is still up in the attic.
We take pride in keeping it community-owned and rooted here, and the showroom we built inside it carries that forward as a space for the town, not just a storefront.

Meet the Owners of Ridgeline
Three owners,
Three Strengths
Nick McIntier, Owner
Born and raised in Jefferson County, in HVAC since 17 and a licensed contractor
since 2021. Our metal-fabrication specialist and the one who runs client and contractor relationships. Customers say he treats them like his own family, and if there’s a way to
get it done, he finds it.
Bridger Harris, Owner
Idaho Falls native and the most technical of the three. He turns blueprints, schematics,
and wiring diagrams into installed systems, and he runs the front-end customer
experience. He sets a high bar for the crew and lives for the feedback that makes the
work better.
Ashton Quinton, Owner and Project Manager
Idaho Falls native who runs the day-to-day. He’s in the field most days keeping schedules
on track, timelines honest, and the company’s standards delivered on every job, and he handles inventory and the fleet on top of it.

Our Credentials and Certifications
We’re a licensed, bonded, and insured HVAC contractor, Idaho HVAC license 050089. Our installers are factory-certified on the brands we carry, Amana, Daikin, Day & Night, and Goodman, and we’re the area’s certified Aeroseal dealer. Most of our competitors won’t even put a license number on their site. We lead with ours.
Every one of our promises traces back to something real: the unconditional first year on our installs, the rebate paperwork we handle for you, the plastic we lay down before we work, and the free second opinion when someone else says replace. We’d rather earn the job honestly than win it with a line we can’t back up.
Licensed, and Proud

One Job at a Time
We had an outstanding experience with Ridgeline Heating and Cooling! From start to finish, they were incredibly responsive, professional, and easy to work with. The quality of their service was top-notch, and their pricing was extremely fair—especially compared to other companies in the area, who quoted us nearly double with half the communication.
Ridgeline went above and beyond by helping us look into the warranty on our new system, which really showed they care about their customers, not just the sale. It’s rare to find a company that combines great service, fair pricing, and clear communication, but Ridgeline nailed it.
Very impressed and will absolutely be using them again in the future!

Huter did a great job. Very knowledgeable and professional. Obviously knows his business very well. He pinpointed the problem in minutes and had it resolved in just a few more minutes. I would recommend them to anyone.
July 2026
I called for help with a broken down heater on a cold morning and Hunter was there within the hour! His service was fast, efficient, and he communicated clearly the issue and what needed to be done to fix it. He was also very upfront about the cost and it was very reasonable. I also spoke with Bridger Harris and was extremely impressed with how he looked out for us and made sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend Ridgeline Heating and Cooling!

I had Mike and Anthony install my air conditioner. They did a great job, they were very efficient, explained everything, cleaned up all the trash. Ridge got right back to me with a bid and I was able to have it installed in a week. Would highly recommend
