DeVon Groff had the original vision for the company. He was from Canton, but lived in Lancaster, where he started a heating and plumbing company. In 1995, DeVon started a separate company in Canton named, "Groff's Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc." DeVon invited two partners to join him: Laverne Hess, a bright and capable technician from Lancaster, and Jason Denlinger, a former pastor and experienced salesman from Canton. Laverne was the technical lead man for the company until his unexpected passing in 2007 of a fatal heart attack. Seven years later DeVon decided to focus solely on the Lancaster business and sold his share of the Canton business to his remaining partner, Jason Denlinger. The company was renamed "Solaire Home Comfort" and works in close partnership with "Solaire Energy", an energy efficiency and solar company managed by Jason's wife, Pamela Denlinger. The company blends a long, successful history in the community with a new and fresh approach to the business.
