A Legacy of Comfort and Quality
Magtek Mechanical has been a cornerstone of the heating and cooling industry in the greater Chicago area for over three decades. Founded in 1988 by Mike and Gina Thompson, this family-owned business has grown from a small operation in New Lenox, IL, to a respected leader in HVAC services across multiple communities.
Early Days and Rapid Growth
The company started with just two employees and a single truck, focusing primarily on residential air conditioner repair. As word spread about their exceptional service and technical expertise, Magtek Mechanical quickly expanded its offerings to include:
- AC installation
- Furnace maintenance
- HVAC system design
- Commercial refrigeration services
By the mid-1990s, Magtek had established itself as a go-to provider for both residential and commercial clients in New Lenox and neighboring Joliet.
Expanding Horizons
The turn of the millennium saw Magtek Mechanical venturing into new territories. The company’s reputation for reliability and customer satisfaction led to expansion into Frankfort, Mokena, and Tinley Park. This growth necessitated a larger team and more specialized training to meet the diverse needs of these communities.
Innovation and Adaptation
As technology evolved, so did Magtek Mechanical. The company invested heavily in ongoing education for its technicians, ensuring they stayed at the forefront of HVAC innovations. This commitment to excellence allowed Magtek to offer cutting-edge solutions like smart thermostats and energy-efficient systems long before they became industry standards.
Community Involvement
Throughout its history, Magtek Mechanical has remained deeply committed to the communities it serves. The company regularly participates in local events, sponsors youth sports teams, and provides free HVAC inspections for low-income families during extreme weather conditions.
Looking to the Future
Today, Magtek Mechanical continues to thrive under the leadership of the second generation of the Thompson family. With a team of over 50 skilled professionals and a fleet of fully-equipped service vehicles, the company stands ready to meet the heating and cooling needs of residents and businesses across the southwestern Chicago suburbs.
As Magtek Mechanical looks to the future, its commitment to quality service, technical excellence, and community involvement remains unwavering – a testament to the enduring values instilled by its founders over three decades ago.
