CEOs
5 Star Heating & Air was founded in 2020 by Kevin and Tiffany Putalavage — Schuylkill County locals who saw an opportunity to do HVAC the right way. Kevin leads the technical side with hands-on expertise and a reputation for showing up fast and fixing it right. Tiffany makes sure every customer interaction is clear, honest, and stress-free. Together, they’ve built a team that reflects their values.

Recently, our team reflected on what truly defines the culture of 5 Star. The answers were powerful because they all centered around people, opportunity, teamwork, and community.
At the end of the day, we are not a private equity company or a cookie-cutter business. We are a family-built company focused on building something meaningful for our employees, customers, and community.
These are the core values that guide us every day:
People First
We treat our employees, customers, and community like family through respect, communication, kindness, and care.

We believe in continuous learning, leadership, training, and creating opportunities for our team to succeed both personally and professionally.
Quality Without Compromise
We take pride in delivering high-quality workmanship, honest recommendations, and an exceptional customer experience.
Stronger Together
Our culture is built on teamwork, strong morale, communication, and supporting one another as one team with a shared vision.
Legacy & Community Impact
We are building more than an HVAC company. We are building careers, supporting local families, investing into our community, and creating something that lasts for future generations.
These values are not just words on paper. They shape how we hire, how we lead, how we serve customers, and how we continue building the future of 5 Star Heating & Air.
