Pioneer Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. and Owner Gordy Noe, Awarded National Residential HVAC Contractor of the Year by Contracting Business Magazine

“Customer first” mentality is key driver behind Founder Gordy Noe and Pioneer Heating & Air’s philosophy and business strategy.

 

April 6, 2017 – Knoxville based Pioneer Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. announced that its founder and President Gordy Noe and his HVAC Company, founded in 1981, have been named the 2017 National Residential HVAC Contractor of the Year by Contracting Business Magazine, a leading trade publication serving the nation’s HVAC industry.

Founder and President Gordy Noe, inspired by his father who was also a contractor, runs Pioneer Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. with one thing taking precedence over everything else: the customer always comes first. This “customer first” mentality has contributed to the tremendous growth and success of the company since its inception.

“It’s our policy that we take care of the customer’s needs no matter what it takes, and money is secondary. If we do the first one, we’ll make the second one,” says Noe.

Noe also insists that his technicians are highly trained, skilled, and experienced and he requires all HVAC technicians to stay up-to-date on their North American Technician Excellence certifications.

“I believe that because we always put our customers first, and we invest in our employees, we are truly set apart from our competitors. We are incredibly honored to have that philosophy and business approach be recognized by Contracting Business Magazine as the National Residential HVAC Contractor of the Year,” Noe said.

Pioneer Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. General Manager, Mike Conley, seconds Gordy Noe’s business ideologies by saying, “Gordy Noe and his management team believe in empowering our employees.

Gordy will say, ‘This is where I want to go,’ and he’ll step aside and let his employees lead their way down their own paths.” Conley also credits the company’s aggressive marketing plan for the success of the HVAC company.

Conley adds that Pioneer’s commitment to supporting and being involved in various community organizations has also been at the root of who they are as a company, and it has helped residents get to know the staff and technicians on a more personal level. “We love being involved in our local neighborhoods and being able to support causes that serve our communities.

We also know it’s not only a great way to give back but an amazing opportunity to get to know our customers on a more personal level,” said Conley.  “We are thrilled to be given this award. It is a huge honor to know that the work you are doing is acknowledged and respected by our trade industry.”
