  • About Big Fish

Big Fish Cooling & Heating began as an idea. A goal. A dream. A source of income to fund the rising costs of a college education. In 2015 our founder, Brandon Midkiff, opened Big Fish Cooling & Heating. during his junior year of college at Lamar University while studying for a Mechanical Engineering degree.

Unsure of what to name the company Brandon decided he wanted it to reference his faith along with what made all of it possible. “BIG FISH” is an acronym for “Believers In God, Faithful In Serving Him.” While Big Fish Cooling & Heating is not a typical name for a home service company, it is a constant reminder of who we are as a company. As a family. As people.

“BELIEVERS IN GOD, FAITHFUL IN SERVING HIM”

More about us

Big Fish Cooling & Heating has grown from a one-man show to now a fully functioning HVAC company. Since Brandon graduated with his Mechanical Engineering degree and is now a practicing engineer at a renowned refinery he recruited help from his mother Tammy. Tammy is the voice on the other end of the line. The woman that keeps us all in line and organized. Here to make sure customers are taken care of and that they have a friendly voice on the other end of the line when in need of HVAC services.

With a growing demand for our services in Southeast Texas, we added a lead technician/installer. Again, keeping it in the family, Drake (Brandon’s cousin and Tammy’s nephew) is our lead technician/installer. He has played a key role in making sure customers’ needs are met and that our work is performed to the standards we expect.

  • Chase was super helpful in getting my a/c back up and running fast. He let me know exactly what was wrong, and answered any questions I had for him. Big Fish made getting everything fixed super easy, and got it all taken care of super fast so I wasn’t stuck in the heat for any longer than I needed to be. Would definitely recommend them to family and friends, and will be using them again in the future for any other issues I have.

  • I called them for just a Spring Check up. They found several items incorrectly installed. After fixing them our AC works great and my front two bedrooms are no longer 6 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. All the technicians that came out were super nice and explained things thoroughly. I definitely recommend them.

  • My AC went out the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Big Fish was willing to send someone out, and Drake got the system fixed in a relatively short time. I’m very grateful for the speedy service and for Drake having a good & helpful attitude. Big Fish always goes the extra mile – thanks so much!

  • Dustin Wheeler showed up, ready to work by 8:30 am. He was very professional and polite in explaining the steps to install our new AC unit & furnace. He worked tirelessly until 8:30 pm, making sure everything worked properly, even helped me downloading the app. Highly recommend Big Fish, excellent service & products!

  • Drake, with Big Fish AC and Heating, was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to show me the source of the problems, illustrated the defective part vs. the replacement part and shared the service charge prior to the repair. He was to easy to talk with regarding cause and effect. Thanks for a job well done. I’m enjoying a cool, comfortable afternoon.

  • Big Fish AC done a great job! Chase was our technician and he was very thorough; he found the problem quickly and was able to order the parts. Everyone I spoke with was professional and helpful; will be using them when needed again.

    – Diamond D Line, LLC
  • Prompt and friendly service. Left the area clean and picked up. Chase did a great job keeping me informed since I was not at home. Keeped my wife informed in a way that she could understand what was going on. Chase also told my wife that the duct repair I did under the house was good. So thank you for covering for me. I will use Big Fish again and do recommend them for any work you need.

    – Jeremy T
  • Chase with big fish was excellent! Even with awful news of needing an entire new unit he still tried to make us comfortable by bringing a portable a/c for my family. We felt like he truly cared about our needs and urgency of getting a new unit asap.
