He's not just a legend in the trades; he's the HVAC G.O.A.T.
Back in 1981, Jim took the leap and started his own business, Home Energy Savers, in St. Louis. Those early years were tough, with stiff competition and challenges, but Jim's determination and innovative marketing strategies turned the tide.
By 1988, he had transformed Home Energy Savers into the largest residential service company in the United States, with $12 million in sales.
During this time, Jim Abrams pioneered the industry, introducing game-changing ideas such as offering 10-year parts and labor warranties, private labeling HVAC systems, and providing a 100% money-back guarantee.
