The company was founded on the drive and abilities of our founder R.D. Yaun. Mr. Yaun pioneered a new technology "oil burning equipment" in his starting years and built his business on superior service and customer satisfaction. In those days, it was not an easy task, as oil burners were not as trouble free as those of today.
Many hours, sometimes days, were spent on the set up and trouble shooting of these new systems. This new technology was not broadly accepted either. In the railroad towns, his customers were threatened with bodily harm or loss of jobs if "one of those contraptions" was installed. Remember their main income was from the transporting of coal.
The railroads weren't above the use of threats to keep things as they were. Over the years, the company grew and more people were added to the payroll. In 1960, R.H. "Rich" Yaun assumed the President's post and a change in the method of management styles took place. R.H. realized that if the company was to continue to grow, it would not be by his efforts and style alone, but it would have to be a team effort.

Our long term relationship with this quality manufacturer of Modular Housing Heating and Air Conditioning Equipment has enabled us to provide a very high level of service and trouble shooting experience. We carry the parts for Gas and Oil Equipment that no-one else carries and have the ability to trouble-shoot and diagnose older Miller-Gun Equipment.
Heating Calculations: To anyone in the Heating & A/C Business it is important to track Degree Days. Our business tracks with extremes of weather. Heating engineers who wanted a way to relate each day's temperatures to the demand for fuel to heat buildings developed the concept of heating degree days.
