About Us

Home Appliance & Heating has been the area’s leader in plumbing, heating, and air conditioning service and retail sales since 1945.

Owners Michael Ader, Bill Batkiewicz, & Jeffery Ahlden purchased the business from Gary Buckman and John Ader in January 2008. Home Appliance is poised to continue the great customer service that has been associated with this company for so many years.

The stores success is attributed to the fact it services everything it sells, and that offers competitive prices on all name brand furniture, electronics, appliances, carpeting, plumbing, heating and air conditioning.

Home Appliance & Heating is an ever growing business with loyal, honest, responsible and professional employees dedicated to total customer satisfaction. From a very small store on East Avenue to its present-day location at 1292 W. Station Street Home Appliance has grown to a fleet of 21 service vehicles, 12 licensed plumbers, and 32,000 square feet of showroom space, available 6 days a week for our customers’ convenience.

The management and employees of the store would like to thank the people of Kankakee County for making it strong and allowing them to serve the public needs.

With the customers help, Ader, Batkiewicz, and Ahlden will continue to buy and sell the best products possible, at a fair price and continue to offer the best possible service to the community…
