This has been our trademark advantage and our inherent strength. We continue to work together constructively to offer even greater efficiency in every aspect of our business: striving towards our goal of maintaining 100% customer satisfaction while providing a high quality remanufactured product.

Michael Starratt - Founder & CEO

I’m Michael. I’m the chief around here, the man with a mission and the plan to get it done. I spend most of my days writing our technical manuals and coming up with the most efficient ways to get our products built. I’m an engineer by degree and I love designing and building new techniques and equipment especially suited to our product.

Research and Development are my strong points. I love building teams and watching our employees succeed in life. When an employee is excited about doing something for the first time such as a new home, getting married, children, or continued education it makes me extremely proud of them and our company.

In my off time you can catch me spending time with family and especially my amazing wife. We are working on bringing children into this world and cannot wait! I enjoy boating, golfing, and fishing. I enjoy basketball and even put up a basketball hoop in our company parking lot to show these younger guys who the boss is!

Kirah Erwin - Vice President of Administration

As the Vice President of Administration at United HVAC Motors, I oversee several core departments including Human Resources, Marketing & Sales, Business Accounts & Partnerships, IT Development, and all things Admin.
With dual bachelor’s degrees in Marketing and Communications, along with a Master of Business Administration (MBA), I bring both strategic insight and a passion for people to everything I do. I’ve been with United going on 4 years and I love everything about this small business: from our crew, culture, product, and prices, to the creative freedom my role allows.

Outside of work, I try to get in a little bit of adventure. I enjoy traveling, learning new things, and making lasting memories with my husband and family. I’m deeply rooted in community, wellness, and my faith—my relationship with God guides everything I do.

It’s a true blessing to work for a company like United HVAC Motors.
