Acme Controls is a small- to mid-sized distributor and service partner specializing in HVAC/R parts and boiler controls, based in Chicago, Illinois. The company began in 1941 as a local repair shop serving the Chicago area, operating a repair-and-return model to minimize downtime for service professionals. During the 1960s and 70s it expanded into industrial markets and, under the third generation of the Huening family in the early 1980s, launched Advanced Exchange Service to also serve end-user customers. Acme maintains factory-authorized repair arrangements with manufacturers including AERCO, McQuay International, Johnson Controls, and Toshiba.
