Briefly describe your business: 

We do sales and service of any of your heating, air conditioning or refrigeration needs.

When did your business start?

Scott started the business in September 1987. It was incorporated in 1998 and we recently celebrated 30 years in business.

How did you get started in this business?

The business was started when Scott decided he didn’t want to be a full-time farmer, and had an interest in heating & air conditioning. After going to school to study HVAC, Scott started the business by doing it all – service calls, estimates, installs and paperwork beginning Labor Day September 1987. Five years later he brought his brother Jeff into the business. Currently we have 13 employees. 

Where do you see your business in the next year?

Continuing to grow and serve our community with heating, air conditioning and geothermal sales & service.

How has Greenville Federal helped your business grow?  

With their online banking, friendly and personal service, Greenville Federal keeps updated to meet the banking needs for our business.

What is the one thing about your business that people may not know?

People get confused when they see refrigeration at the end of our name and think we are plumbers. We are not plumbers. We work on coolers, freezers and refrigeration units but not sinks, tubs and toilets.

What is your favorite thing to do when you are not working?

While spending time with Family and Friends is considered a favorite, Scott is an avid golfer and regularly plays golf with other avid golfers.  Linda enjoys volunteering and actively volunteers at our local Humane Society, a no kill nonprofit organization where she is a Board Member.
