History

Established in 1939.

Bigelow Appliance Sales & Service was established in 1939 by Harry Bigelow Senior. He developed refrigeration knowledge from working at the Kellog’s ice cream plant. From that knowledge, he built a freezer from scratch using cork as insulation. He then traded the freezer for a piece of city property.

Later that year he began the Bigelow Appliance business. The business started out servicing commercial refrigeration. Overtime, the business switched to servicing to the residential market, and later both serviced and sold appliances.

Since then, the business has switched locations to increase floor capacity, implemented a new service department, and overall has increased productivity.

Some key moments in history include:

Harry Bigelow Sr. was the first person to install a central air conditioner in Burlington.

Bigelow Appliance is the oldest Hotpoint appliance dealer in Wisconsin.
