I have earned many certificates over the years such as NATE, EPA/CFC, & ASHRAE. I’ve been to countless technical, management, environmental, safety, and sales programs. I have earned North Carolina contractor’s licenses (H2 & H3 C1) which are required to replace equipment. Throughout the 90’s, I was given many opportunities to learn from important educators in the HVAC industry.
While I was in high school, I took old parts and made a working air conditioner for a science project (and gave it to a classmate for his tree house).Īfter high school, I went straight into my career training and working.
I have always enjoyed seeing how machines work and have found that I am a natural at fixing them. When a customer asks what they should do, I give them the same advice I would my parents to help them make the best decision (not necessarily the most profitable one). My parents demand the highest standard of integrity and craftsmanship and have instilled these values in me. My goal has long been to treat every customer like I would my Mom and Dad. I am raising my own family here now and will be growing ANYTIME in this community for decades to come. I’m Teddy Smith and I was born in Hickory, went to school in Newton, and have lived and worked in this area my entire life.
