About

Whether you need HVAC equipment, generators, OEM parts, service & installation materials, indoor air quality products, or even rental equipment, Hunton Distribution is your “one stop” HVAC provider.
Houston Business Journal: 2022 Best Places to Work Award.
For the 11th year, we are proud to have won “Top Workplace” (for a mid-sized company) in the Houston area based on surveys of our employees. In addition, in 2022, we have been recognized as a National Top Workplace for the second year.

In 1981, R.O. Hunton moved to Houston and established Houston Trane, the forerunner of The Hunton Group. In 1990, he acquired the distribution division adding Trane residential and light commercial equipment to the existing Trane commercial product offering. He then promptly built  the Hunton Group’s corporate headquarters building, located in Houston’s Westchase District. For the next twelve years, Hunton Distribution witnessed steady growth – driven by customer service and a superior lineup of products and services.

To better serve our employees and customers, Hunton Distribution opened its Central Green headquarters in north Houston in December 2008. The 117,000 square-foot facility contains office space, a parts and equipment store, state-of-the-art training facility, and over 100,000 square feet of warehouse space. This building earned the prestigious LEED Silver certification in multiple construction and sustainability categories. In 2018, Hunton Distribution proudly opened an additional location at 735 FM 1969 (Dixie Farm Rd.) in southeast Houston. This facility boasts an impressive 76,000 square-feet of warehouse space, training center, and parts and equipment store. In 2021, the growth continued with a third Hunton Distribution location at 10560 Bissonnet Street in West Houston.

These three strategically located facilities give us impressive reach, easy access, and significant space to house the products our customers need. The top priority of our 100+ employees is providing the dealer/contractor community best-in-class customer service and industry expertise.  At Hunton Distribution, we look forward to being your long-term partner.

Hunton Distribution was recognized as Trane’s #1 Independent Wholesale Distributor in the U.S. for 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2022, and 2023.

OUR VISION

Hunton Distribution’s goal is to build strong partnerships and a strong culture from the inside out. We are dedicated to the success of the customers that we serve, and we do that by continually re-investing in our business and in our people.
It’s one of the reasons we were voted a Top Workplace in 2024 by USA Today and have 11 additional Top Workplace wins.
We thank you for allowing us to continue to serve you and allowing us to fulfill Hunton Group’s vision, to create “a responsible future that offers places where comfort, productivity, and well-being are available to all.”
