Perfect Partnership: Conditioned Air Systems and Conklin Metal Industries
A longtime partnership between HVAC company Conditioned Air Systems and distributor Conklin Metal Industries illustrates how trust can truly transform customer service.
Doug Magnus, CEO and founder of Conditioned Air Systems in Gainesville, Georgia, has held exactly two jobs over his long career in the HVAC business. “I worked for a local contracting company all through high school, which was in the early ’60s; worked for him part-time when I went to a local junior college; worked for him part-time when I went to a local trade school; worked for him after I finished college,” he remembers. “I worked full-time during the day and went to school at night.”
Magnus’ second job came in 1983 when he decided to step out on his own and start Conditioned Air Systems. “I really had no intention of growing as much as we have over the last 38 years,” he says “We got some great people, and we’ve just been able to grow unbelievably over the last 38 years.”
