History
Established in 1949.
In 1949, Ralph Lowman of Eaton, Ohio, quit his job at Frigidaire in Dayton and started Lowman Metal Shop in his hometown. He specialized in metal roofs, gutters, ductwork and furnace installation. Ralph's son-in-law, Calvin Stonecash, joined the business in 1953. Barbara Stonecash (Ralph's daughter and Calvin's wife) assisted in the business bookkeeping.
In 1965, upon Ralph's untimely death, husband-and-wife team Cal and Barb took over the management of the business. In 1988, Kent Stonecash joined his parents in the family business. Seven years later, Cal retired and Kent was appointed Sales & Service Manager. In 1995, Barbara retired and Kent was made General Manager. In 2012, Kent's wife, Wendy, joined the firm as general manager. The Lowman Metal Shop name was updated to Lowman Heating & Air to better reflect the modern-day services offered by the business.
Today Lowman Heating & Air is the most experienced and oldest heating & air conditioning firm in the area.
