A Cool Beginning
In the sweltering summer of 1985, John and Mary Thompson found themselves in a predicament. Their home’s air conditioning unit had broken down during a heatwave, leaving them desperate for relief. After calling several local HVAC companies with no luck, they stumbled upon a small, family-owned business that agreed to help them out on short notice.
The technician who arrived was Dave, a young but skilled professional who not only fixed their AC unit but also took the time to explain the maintenance process to the Thompsons. Impressed by Dave’s knowledge and dedication, John and Mary began to wonder if they could create a similar business that prioritized customer service and technical expertise.
From Dream to Reality
Inspired by their experience, the Thompsons decided to take a leap of faith. They invested their life savings into starting All-A-Round A/C, Heating & Refrigeration, LLC. The early days were challenging, with long hours and tight budgets, but their commitment to excellence never wavered.
As word spread about their reliable service and friendly approach, the business began to grow. They hired more technicians, expanded their service area, and invested in the latest HVAC technology. The company’s motto, “Comfort in Every Season,” became a promise they strived to keep with every customer interaction.
Weathering the Storms
Like any business, All-A-Round faced its share of challenges. Economic downturns, fierce competition, and changing regulations tested their resolve. However, the Thompsons’ dedication to their employees and customers helped them navigate these difficult times.
They implemented innovative training programs, ensuring their technicians were always up-to-date with the latest industry standards. They also embraced eco-friendly solutions, offering energy-efficient options to environmentally conscious customers.
