Back in 1969, a trio of investors from Nashville acquired the American Heating & Cooling in Cookeville after acquiring it from Cantrell Brown. Throughout the next four years, American Heating & Cooling established its reputation as a quality provider in the Upper Cumberland area, despite running just three vehicles and generating less than $100,000 in annual income. In 1973, the first significant change occurred the company began to shape its future when Garry Floeter took the helm as the new general manager. He purchased a quarter of the outstanding shares and was appointed the company's president. A year later, the name was changed to Cookeville Heating & Cooling Services. During the period from 1973 to 1990, CHC saw remarkable growth. In time, the services division was divided into a separate business, known as Cookeville Mechanical Services. Soon after that, Floeter completed the stock options with the other CHC shareholder and retired the remaining shares, assuming full ownership of the company. To learn more about our history,
