About Our Team
About Mast Heating & Cooling
Mast has been installing and repairing heating and cooling equipment since 1956. So, whether you’re working on building a new home or cruising in your boat in Lake Michigan, we are here to handle all your HVAC service needs. Our team is most frequently seen in Holland, Zeeland, and Grand Rapids.
How Mast Came to Be
In 1956, Rufus Mast saw that Ottawa and Allegan County was missing something every community needs: an HVAC company you can count on. That’s why he built Mast Heating & Cooling, a team dedicated to the comfort of local friends and family. In 1985, he passed that legacy to the current owner and president, Brian Holt.
Now, 70 years later, Mast has become one of Ottawa and Allegan County’s largest mechanical contractors, proudly handling your residential, commercial, and marine HVAC needs.

Meet the Leadership Behind Mast
Our President
Brian Holt has been president of Mast since 1985, when he purchased the company from Rufus Mast. Born in Sault Ste. Marie, Brian moved to Holland with his family when he was in second grade and enjoys being an active member of the community.
He took an interest in HVACR while still in high school and worked in energy management sales for Honeywell, Inc., before buying Mast. Brian and his wife have two daughters and ten grandchildren.
Our Mission
At Mast, your comfort is our concern. That means providing the comfort you need without cutting corners on quality. We want Mast to keep growing and become West Michigan’s leading name in heating, cooling, and refrigeration. We’ve already served generations of local families, and we plan to be here when their grandkids need us too.
The Values That Drive Us
- Teamwork: Providing good heating, AC, and air quality service takes a whole crew. We hire with care and count on each other to take good care of our customers.
- Integrity: We believe in honest dealings and giving people straight answers. That's why we use flat-rate pricing and back everything we do with a satisfaction guarantee.
- Respect: We remember that we're guests in your home or business. We clean up after ourselves, watch our language, and treat your space with care.
- Excellence: We aim to bring a high level of skill to every job. It doesn't matter if it's a reversing valve problem on a heat pump or a major commercial HVAC problem in Zeeland.
- Giving Back: West Michigan has been home to Mast for generations. We support charities throughout the area and look for ways to lend a hand when the community needs one.
