2021 Best Contractors to Work For: Huft Home Services
New hires are trained in skills and company culture at in-house trade school
Like many others entering the field of HVAC, Brian Huft, president and owner of Huft Home Services in Elk Grove, Sacramento, and Yuba City, California, had a familial connection. As a young man looking for a job, his brother-in-law encouraged him to apply for an installation position at the contracting firm where he worked. Huft got the job and stayed with the company for nine years before starting his own company in 2004.
Huft credits that first job with much of his success, noting that the company sent him to trade school and taught him everything he needed to know about HVAC. Once he decided to start his own business, the company wished him well, and to this day, he still has a great relationship with his former employer.
