WARSAW — Collier’s Heating & Air Conditioning has served Warsaw since 1987 with top-level services for heating, air conditioning, and ventilation. Now in the 31st year, the business is growing along with the community and moving to 2365 North Shelby Drive, Warsaw.

Collier’s history begins in 1987. Joe Collier and Ken Diekhoff bought the Lennox dealership in Warsaw and started to expand to become the premier area provider of heating and cooling systems for both residential and commercial customers. Collier’s moved into the Winona Lake location in April of 1989.

In 1996, the business opened the Fireplace Shoppe, offering fireplaces, stoves, outdoor heating products like firepits and fire tables as well as barbecue grills and smokers. 

In 2017, following the retirement of Ken Diekhoff, Kevin Lehman and Chuck Ault joined Joe Collier as co-owners.

In late August, the town of Winona Lake expressed interest in buying Collier’s location at 2499 E. Winona for an upcoming roundabout construction.

Collier’s is happy to announce that they will be moving to 2365 North Shelby Drive into the western end of the building owned by Joe Sands and occupied by Sands Office Equipment and BABSCO Supply.

The new location will give Collier’s 6,000 square feet and the business will be adding on a 2,500 square foot showroom for Collier’s Fireplace Shoppe.

“We enjoyed our years at the Winona Lake location,” Joe Collier says, “However with the upcoming roundabout project, it gives us the opportunity to expand our facilities to match the business growth that we’ve experienced. In addition, it will double the square footage of the Collier’s Fireplace Shoppe showroom.”

Collier’s administration and service department will move to the new location as of Oct. 1, with no interruption in service, and the Fireplace Shoppe showroom will remain at the East Winona location until construction is completed sometime in early 2019.
