Our Story



Legacy MatterS
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.
He followed in my footsteps and now runs the day-to-day operations. I couldn’t be more proud. Turns out both of his boys had the family curiosity for figuring things out, too.
Now my two grandsons have joined the business, and we’re busier than ever. When you schedule an appointment, there’s a good chance you’ll meet one of us.
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.
When you do a Google search for HVAC in Flower Mound, you have a lot of choices, but the truth is there’s only one right choice, and that’s us.
Now that you know our story, why not give us a try, because I can tell you one thing for sure. Our customers stay with us, and they bring their friends and neighbors.
And that’s about as good as it gets.
Stay tuned for news about the great-grandkids.
It’s a little early still.

Without advanced HVAC systems that tightly control temperature and humidity we wouldn’t have art museums.

“Everyone we spoke to at Lake City was professional and responsive. They called back when they said they were going to, and showed up on time. We had them install a mini split system in the garage, and they did an excellent job. Everything was very neatly…”
