Early Days and Challenges
The founders started their business with just a single truck and a handful of tools. Their commitment to quality service and customer satisfaction quickly earned them a loyal following in Northport and surrounding communities. Despite facing stiff competition and economic downturns, Turner & Schoel persevered, driven by their passion for keeping homes and businesses comfortable year-round.
Expansion and Innovation
As the company grew, so did its range of services. Turner & Schoel expanded beyond basic heating and cooling repairs to offer:
- Custom HVAC system design and installation
- Energy-efficient upgrades
- Indoor air quality solutions
- 24/7 emergency services
The company’s willingness to embrace new technologies and techniques has kept them at the forefront of the industry. From smart thermostats to eco-friendly refrigerants, Turner & Schoel has consistently been an early adopter of innovations that benefit their customers.
Community Involvement
Throughout its history, Turner & Schoel has remained deeply rooted in the Northport community. The company regularly participates in local events, sponsors youth sports teams, and provides free HVAC check-ups for low-income seniors.
Looking to the Future
Today, Turner & Schoel continues to build on its strong foundation, with the second generation of both families now involved in the business. As they look to the future, the company remains committed to its core values of exceptional service, integrity, and innovation in professional heating and cooling solutions.
