​About Us
We are the #1 Comfort Specialists in Stevens County
Northside Heating & Air Conditioning is a proud second-generation, family-owned business, carrying forward a legacy of excellence that began over three decades ago. Founded by Rodney “Rod” Peterson as My-T Air in 1992, the company quickly established itself as a trusted name in the HVAC industry under Rod’s leadership. Rod was a man of unparalleled integrity and skill, who believed in doing things the right way, always holding himself and those around him to the highest standards.
Rod's journey in the HVAC trade started with hands-on learning, working alongside his brother Greg. His passion for the craft led him to obtain his General Contractor license, specializing in HVAC. Throughout the years, Rod built MY+T Construction into a respected business known for its quality workmanship and customer-first approach. His commitment to excellence extended beyond just the job—he was a mentor, an educator, and a man who believed that knowledge was the key to success. He demanded proficiency, encouraged learning, and inspired others to strive for the best in all they did.
In 2013, after many years of hard work and dedication, Rod passed the torch to his son-in-law, Jeff Amich, who purchased the business and rebranded it as Northside Heating & Air Conditioning. Jeff, who had already developed a strong foundation in HVAC installation and design, embraced the opportunity to continue the family tradition. Under his leadership, Northside has flourished, combining Rod's legacy of integrity and expertise with Jeff’s fresh perspective and innovative approach.
Jeff’s deep connection to the community is reflected not only in the services Northside provides but also in his own personal history. Prior to taking over Northside, Jeff served as a volunteer firefighter and EMT, further demonstrating his commitment to helping others. Today, Jeff, alongside his wife Tia and their three children, remains dedicated to providing top-quality heating, cooling, and plumbing solutions to the community they cherish.

Tribute to
Hard ‘Rod’ Peterson
At Northside Heating & Air Conditioning, we owe much of our legacy to Hard ‘Rod’ Peterson, a man of great integrity, skill, and heart. Rod was more than just a skilled HVAC specialist and general contractor—he was a mentor, a family man, and a pillar of strength for those who knew him.
Rod’s journey in the HVAC industry began early, working alongside his brother Greg and quickly mastering the trade. His dedication to excellence led him to obtain his own General Contractor license, with a specialty in HVAC, and for much of his life, he operated his own successful business. In 1992, Rod founded MY+T Construction in Loon Lake, WA, where he established a reputation as a hard-working, no-nonsense foreman who valued integrity, education, and excellence. He believed in doing things the right way—the best way—and his unwavering standards earned him the respect of his customers and peers alike.
Rod’s retirement in 2013 marked the end of a long and successful career, but he never stopped learning, exploring, and enjoying life. Whether he was riding his Harley, gardening, fly fishing, or camping, Rod cherished the moments he spent with his family, especially the time with his beloved grandchildren.
Rod’s legacy lives on at Northside Heating & Air Conditioning, not only in the business he helped build but in the values and principles he passed down. His influence continues to shape our commitment to excellence and our dedication to serving our community with the highest standards of integrity and care.

"Before contacting Northside, I had another HVAC company look at my malfunctioning furnace. Not only were they not thorough in their inspection, they told me I needed a new furnace and tried to upsell me on other items. Not feeling comfortable with the first diagnosis, I contacted Northside for a second opinion. The Northside technician Caleb was very thorough in his inspection and tested all of the furnace circuits and sensors. He was correct in his diagnosis and post-repair my furnace is working perfectly again. So instead of paying for a new furnace, I did not need, I only needed to pay for a simple repair. Northside is an honest company with a lot of integrity and they've won my business for life."

"After less than satisfactory service with another local company. We dreaded starting over to get help for our system malfunction. We are so pleased with our service from Northside we would gladly recommend them. They stuck with us, going the extra mile to get a part needed that was difficult to obtain. Thank you Northside!"
