Exciting News from the Hoekstra Heating & Air Conditioning Family!
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve officially acquired another trusted, family-owned local business — Paniccia Heating & Air Conditioning!
The Paniccias have been serving Michigan City Indiana and surrounding areas since 1993 with honesty, hard work, and a commitment to the highest quality HVAC available.
In early 2024, Mark and Sheri Paniccia met Spencer Hoekstra and his wife Andrea, and quickly discovered a shared philosophy about how a business should treat its employees and customers. It became clear that this partnership could allow the Paniccias to retire while preserving the legacy they worked so hard to build.
As of November 1, 2025, we have officially taken on the work of Paniccia Heating & Cooling, and will use the “Hoekstra - Paniccia” name in addition to our traditional business name. We’re honored to continue serving their customers with the same level of quality, care, and trust they’ve come to expect.
Hoekstra customers might see a Paniccia truck at their homes for a little while longer as we work on updating everything with the new logo, and hopefully will get to meet some of the fine folks we’ve adopted into the Hoekstra team.
In either case, rest assured: whether it says “Hoekstra” or “Paniccia” on the vehicle, it’s the same great team of friendly faces, expert technicians, and people who truly care about keeping your home comfortable.
We’re excited for this next chapter and grateful for the opportunity to continue building on the trust both families have earned over the years. Thank you to Mark and Sheri for building something so special.
Here’s to a future full of teamwork, growth, and great service — the family-owned way.
