Degree Residential, originally founded as Degree Technologies, began with a campfire discussion between Murray Appleby and Robert (Bob) Hudson. This was a conversation of how the HVAC industry in Fredericton could be done differently. Murray and Bob saw an opportunity to enhance refrigeration service and maintenance in the region, and so Degree Technologies Inc. was created.
In the early days, success came through tenacity – walking into local businesses, knocking on doors, and earing trust one client at a time. With strong teamwork and a clear mission, the Degree name quickly gained a reputation for doing things differently: with purpose, professionalism, and pride.
From the start, we’ve built our business on integrity – honest service, 24/7 responsiveness, and quality workmanship. These principles have earned us not only long-standing customer relationships, but also countless referrals from satisfied clients.
In 2021, we rebranded as Degree Residential, with co-owner Murray Appleby leading the shift to focus more directly on residential HVAC services. Alongside this transition, we established our core values – teamwork, integrity, growth, tenacity, and leadership – to guide our next chapter and shape the way we work, serve, and grow.
Today, our expert technicians serve Fredericton and surrounding communities across New Brunswick. Thanks to our loyal customers, we continue to grow – adding new team members, expanding our fleet, and deepening our impact.
We’re proud to serve this community, and even prouder to lead with values. That’s the Degree Difference – and we look forward to showing it to you.
Thank you to all of our supporters!
