Founders
Martin Hoover and Gila Ragan-Hoover are the owners of Empire Heating & Air Conditioning, located in Decatur, GA. They founded the company in 1985 with a vision for excellent customer service, which in turn would help them to create superior brand value when compared to their competitors. Both Martin and Gila remain active in Empire Heating and Air Conditioning and have been blessed with a great team to help accomplish the vision.
Empire was a shoestring startup from the very start. Initially, Gila worked in the office every day (and on job sites when needed) while Martin was in the field pulling service calls and installing systems. Most of our work in those early days came from good, old-fashioned word of mouth referrals. Their first office set-up had Radio Shack phones, lawn chairs, and salvaged office furniture located in the old Austin Car Wash building in downtown Decatur. Walter Austin was a great first landlord and shared in their excitement to begin their own business. He prorated the rent starting at $100 and going up a little each month to help them get off the ground. During those times, Martin and Gila created the operating systems procedures that still guide the team today.
"It is our goal to continue to deliver excellent customer service with real people in the office and skilled trades people in the field. We look forward to the opportunity to be of service to you, your friends, neighbors and family."
-Martin and Gila
