Richard Roth, General Manager of A.N. Roth Heating and Cooling, featured in Louisville Business First
The 2021 Family Business Awards, presented by Louisville Business First and in partnership with the Family Business Center at the University of Louisville, recognized many local companies for excellence. Every finalist was a multigenerational family business headquartered in Greater Louisville or Southern Indiana. As a fifth-generation family business local to Louisville since 1866, we were honored to be nominated and considered a finalist alongside these other great local businesses.
Our History and Approach
Founder of A.N. Roth Company, Jacob Roth
A.N. Roth Heating and Cooling is unusual even among family businesses, as fewer than 3% of family-owned businesses operate into the fourth generation and beyond. We believe that adaptability is the key to our long-term success. Since our ancestor Jacob F. Roth first immigrated to Louisville from Bavaria in the 19th-century, A.N. Roth has been adapting to meet the needs of our staff and customers.
We stay adaptable within our field by continuously evolving. This means keeping abreast of new technologies and methodologies to offer our customers the most progressive home comfort solutions. We also monitor consumer trends and listen to our customers to learn what to expect and where to improve. This is why, while A.N. Roth has been Louisville’s heating and cooling experts for over 150 years, we still lead the industry with state-of-the-art technology and innovative techniques. We are one of the only local HVAC firms to specialize in sustainable and Earth-friendly geothermal systems, energy-saving radiant flooring, and whole-house air filtration systems.
Present-day leadership: Richard, Karl Jr., and Phillip Roth III
A.N. Roth understands that we’re in an evolving field and consider continuous innovation to be a cornerstone of our business. We never stop learning and improving our technology, which is why we are frequently sought out to solve complex HVAC problems and assist with specialized projects.
We also stay adaptable within our business. This means respecting our employees, keeping them engaged, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. We’re thankful to have such a talented and dedicated team of professionals working at A.N. Roth, and we know our customers are too!
