From Humble Beginnings to HVAC Excellence: The Journey of Refrigeration & Electrical Service
A Legacy of Comfort and Quality
Refrigeration & Electrical Service has been a cornerstone of the Central Florida community for over three decades. Founded in 1987 by John and Mary Smith, this family-owned business has grown from a small operation in Lakeland to become a leading HVAC contractor serving multiple cities in the region.
The Early Years
When John Smith started the company, he had a simple vision: to provide reliable HVAC services to his neighbors in Lakeland. With just a single truck and a handful of tools, John began offering repair and maintenance services for residential air conditioning systems.
Expansion and Growth
As word spread about the quality of their work, Refrigeration & Electrical Service began to expand. By the mid-1990s, they had:
- Opened a small office in Winter Haven
- Hired their first team of technicians
- Started offering commercial HVAC services
Embracing Innovation
The turn of the millennium brought new challenges and opportunities. Recognizing the importance of staying ahead of the curve, Refrigeration & Electrical Service invested heavily in training and equipment. This commitment to innovation allowed them to offer cutting-edge HVAC installation services in Winter Haven and surrounding areas.
Community Involvement
As the company grew, so did its involvement in the community. Refrigeration & Electrical Service has been a proud sponsor of local sports teams and has participated in numerous charity events in Haines City and beyond.
Today’s Success
Now led by the second generation of the Smith family, Refrigeration & Electrical Service has become the go-to HVAC company for residents and businesses throughout Central Florida. With a team of over 50 skilled technicians and a fleet of fully-equipped service vehicles, they continue to provide top-notch heating and cooling solutions to their ever-growing customer base.
From their humble beginnings as a small Lakeland HVAC contractor to their current status as a regional leader in HVAC installation and service, Refrigeration & Electrical Service has never lost sight of its core values: quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
As they look to the future, Refrigeration & Electrical Service remains committed to keeping Central Florida comfortable, one home and business at a time.
