Joliet entrepreneurs Fred Johansen and Harold Anderson teamed up to sell and service heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems back in 1946. It was about a decade after the first forced air furnace relegated cast iron radiators to the dust bin and relieved homeowners from the chore of stoking the coal fire. Back then, most Americans went to the movies on sticky August days to relish the luxury of air conditioning.

As word spread about their first-rate equipment and service, Johansen & Anderson's list of satisfied customers swelled. The guys who worked there owned their own company until two years ago. Then, Rick Cronholm, one of the crew who over two decades had learned the tools of his trade at Johansen and Anderson, bought the company that had brought him up.

Today’s technicians are background checked and undergo stringent drug and alcohol testing programs so customers can trust the people working on the contraptions that are so key to comfort in homes and offices. A service man is on call 24/7 so folks can call J&A today and sleep tight tonight.

Johansen & Anderson Inc. remains doggedly determined to stay at the head of the pack. Reaching out to residential, commercial, and industrial customers, we keep on the cutting edge of heating, air conditioning and refrigeration technology and go all-out to get the biggest energy bang for each buck.
