About Trusted Heating and Cooling

Company History

In the 1950s, Milton "Bill" Poole enlisted in the United States Air Force, becoming part of the military police. He soon wanted something different, and looked at various military occupations he could also utilize in the civilian world. Sheet metal fabrication stood out to him, and after learning commercial sheet metal fabrication, Bill finished his term of service with the air force and concentrated on providing for his young family.

He attended night classes at Tucson High for blue print reading and layout, and began work for some of the largest HVAC shops in Tucson as lead installer and shop foreman. Bill took the time to hone his skills at both the Asarco and Anamax mines, where he set himself apart in fabrication, fiberglass, paint, and mechanics. While still working for the mine, Bill started a small company called Poole Enterprises. It was a family operated business, offering services of all kinds -- from concrete, plumbing and framing to heating and air conditioning.

Meanwhile,
Bill taught all three of his sons to do everything related to the business. Bill's oldest son, James, eventually went to school for HVAC, obtained a contractor's license and changed the name of Poole Enterprises to Poole Heating and Cooling, Inc.. James built upon what Bill had started, working side-by-side with his father, brother Dean, and son Ben in the growing business.

Poole Heating and Cooling was a family owned and operated business until it closed in 2005. Three solid generations of customer-driven HVAC service had ended, leaving Tucson and Green Valley customers with mostly large corporate-structured HVAC companies to service their heating and cooling needs. James' son Ben went to work for several of these other HVAC companies after his father's business closed, and was shocked at how they treated both customers and employees. It seemed most of these companies were concerned more with the business of making money, rather than with the customers and their experience.

Realizing that he could no longer work for companies with low levels of integrity and customer service, Ben left to begin his own, and Trusted Heating and Cooling was born. Trusted Heating and Cooling strives to be a pillar of integrity, honesty, respect and customer-driven service that has always been a Poole family tradition. Today, Trusted Heating and Cooling employs all three generations of the Poole family, including Bill “Grandpa” Poole, and continues to add to its strong family history that goes back 55 incredible years.
