From Humble Beginnings to Community Heroes
In the heart of Oregon, a small family-owned business took root with a simple yet powerful mission: to bring comfort to every home in Milwaukie. This is the story of Milwaukie Heating & Cooling, Inc., a company that has grown from a modest startup to a pillar of the community.
Founded by John and Mary Thompson in 1985, Milwaukie Heating & Cooling began as a two-person operation run out of their garage. Armed with determination and a passion for helping others, the Thompsons set out to provide top-notch air conditioning and heating services to their neighbors.
Overcoming Challenges
The early years were not without their struggles. As a small fish in a big pond, Milwaukie Heating & Cooling faced stiff competition from larger, more established companies. But what they lacked in size, they made up for in heart and dedication.
John recalls, “There were days when we wondered if we’d made the right choice. But every time we saw the relief on a customer’s face after fixing their AC on a scorching summer day, we knew we were on the right path.”
Building Trust, One Home at a Time
Slowly but surely, word spread about the exceptional service provided by Milwaukie Heating & Cooling. Their commitment to quality work and customer satisfaction earned them a loyal following. As their reputation grew, so did their business.
A Company with Heart
What truly set Milwaukie Heating & Cooling apart was their unwavering commitment to the community. They initiated programs to provide free HVAC maintenance for low-income families and seniors, ensuring that everyone could stay comfortable regardless of their financial situation.
This spirit of giving back resonated with the community, and soon, Milwaukie Heating & Cooling became more than just a service provider – they became a trusted friend to many.
