Company History

As a mechanical contractor in Sioux Falls for over 60 years, Baete-Forseth HVAC has a rich company history. Mr. Lou Baete and Mr. Mel Forseth founded the company in 1945 and began to build a reputation for quality workmanship and superior service. When Arthur B. deWit purchased the company in 1985, he kept the name Baete-Forseth to represent a continuance of his high level of service.

The Sioux Falls area has grown incredibly since 1985, and is nearly unrecognizable as the prairie town it was in 1945. Baete-Forseth HVAC has literally been involved with this growth from the start and has worked with thousands of commercial and residential customers as the city has grown. Baete-Forseth HVAC will continue to be on the cutting edge of the HVAC industry to keep pace with the Sioux Falls area for many generations to come.
