A Legacy of Comfort
In the heart of Central Florida, where the summer heat can be unforgiving, a small family-owned business began its journey to bring comfort to homes and businesses alike. Tradition Central Air, Inc. started as a humble operation in Auburndale, FL, with nothing more than a passion for helping people and a commitment to quality service.
The Early Days
Founded by the Johnson family in 1985, Tradition Central Air, Inc. initially focused on basic AC repair services. Their first office was a small garage, barely large enough to store their equipment. Despite the modest beginnings, the Johnsons’ dedication to customer satisfaction quickly earned them a reputation for reliability and expertise.
Expanding Horizons
As word spread about their exceptional service, Tradition Central Air, Inc. began to grow. They expanded their services to include HVAC installation and comprehensive air conditioner maintenance. The company’s reach extended beyond Auburndale to neighboring communities like Cypress Gardens, Inwood, and Lakeland.
Overcoming Challenges
The road to success wasn’t without its obstacles. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew devastated parts of Florida, leaving many homes and businesses without functioning air conditioning systems. Tradition Central Air, Inc. worked tirelessly to help their community recover, often putting in 18-hour days to restore comfort to those affected.
A Commitment to Excellence
As the company grew, so did its commitment to staying at the forefront of HVAC technology. Tradition Central Air, Inc. invested in ongoing training for its technicians, ensuring they were always equipped to handle the latest systems and provide the best possible service to their clients.
Community Impact
Beyond their professional services, Tradition Central Air, Inc. became deeply involved in the communities they served. They sponsored local sports teams, participated in charity events, and even started an annual “Cool Summer” program, providing free AC units to families in need.
Looking to the Future
Today, Tradition Central Air, Inc. serves a wide area including Winter Haven and Wahneta, FL. Their fleet of service vehicles is a far cry from the single van they started with, and their team has grown to include dozens of skilled technicians and support staff.
The Tradition Continues
As Tradition Central Air, Inc. looks to the future, they remain committed to the values that have guided them from the beginning: quality, integrity, and a genuine desire to improve the lives of their customers. Whether it’s a routine AC service call or a complex HVAC installation, the team at Tradition Central Air, Inc. approaches each job with the same dedication and expertise that has made them a trusted name in Central Florida for over three decades.
Their story is a testament to the power of hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to excellence. As they continue to grow and evolve, Tradition Central Air, Inc. remains true to its roots, proving that with passion and dedication, a small family business can become a pillar of the community.
