About us:
The BellSimons Companies was founded in 1940 as The Bell Pump Company, operating out of Hartford, Connecticut, rebuilding oil pumps for the heating trade. By the late 1940s, locations in New Haven, Connecticut and Springfield, Massachusetts, opened to better serve the professionals in the residential and commercial fields. In recognizing the need to also serve the air conditioning and refrigeration trade, management purchased The Joseph Simons Company in 1957-laying the groundwork to becoming one of New England's largest distributors of heating, air conditioning, refrigeration and plumbing supplies.
BellSimons represents products from industry-leading manufacturers in the areas of residential and commercial HVAC and food service and offers a full line of equipment, controls, supplies and replacement parts. With exceptional employees across over 30 locations, BellSimons is dedicated to providing top-quality service and extensive inventory to provide our customers with everything they need.
