KISSIMMEE, FL — Over the years, as the number of employees increased at J & J Air Conditioning Inc. in San Jose, CA, owner Jerry Hurwitz felt a need to keep his mechanics up to date and on the “leading edge” of the industry.
Hurwitz put his love of education and his years of professional teaching into practice by developing a series of in-house training classes for his own employees. This eventually led to the establishment of Air Conditioning Instructional Research (AIR) in 1983. AIR now offers a full schedule of courses that are open to the public, and many mechanics from the San Jose area have benefited from the training courses offered each year.
