One day, my boss asked me to fix the air conditioner, and I couldn’t figure it out. After a few days of trying and getting nowhere, he lost his confidence in me and called in an expert.

That expert happened to be my cousin, and he had it up and running almost immediately.

That really ticked me off.

It was 1972, and the next day, I enrolled at a local school to learn everything there was to know about the HVAC business.

That was 52 years ago.

After graduating, I spent 10 years working for other people. It was slow going at first. I started out as an apprentice and slowly learned the whole business.

Eventually, I had enough saved to go out on my own.

I started out with a beat-up van. Now we have a fleet of vans that still follow my original playbook. We treat everyone like family, and nobody leaves until the job is done right.

Soon, I was on my way to starting a family. Before my son could throw a spiral, he knew how to install a thermostat. He would tag along on service calls, and now he thinks he knows more than me.

Imagine that.

    While everything in the HVAC business has changed, it really is the same. What I mean by that is we have fancier doodads and thingamajigs, but at the end of the day, we install new systems and fix problems.

    Give a local business the gift of the spotlight. Let us know what sets them apart, and we just might feature them in our next edition.

    questions
    & answers

    How do you make your final selections?

    We interview each business owner. We take into account how long they’ve been in business, how much experience they have, what sets them apart, and what customers are saying.

    Can we nominate a business again if they don’t get selected the first time?

    Yes. We keep track of all nominations, but we get so many that there just isn’t a way to feature everyone. If a business gets multiple nominations, we’ll certainly take notice and give them proper consideration.

    We were featured. How can we get a hard copy?

    Just ask. We can send you a beautiful framed copy of your feature that you’d be proud to hang on any wall. Fill out the form above or send an email to

    What if a business is really small?

    Size doesn’t matter here. Quality is what we’re after. We’re looking for exceptional businesses that go above and beyond serving their community, regardless of their size.

    Can we nominate a startup?

    Yes, but it will be tough to get featured. Our judges prefer to see some experience and a proven track record before being recognized
