 
Jacobs Heating and Air Conditioning is a family-owned and operated company. Brent Jacobs is the owner of the corporation. As President, he oversees operations of the company.  Over the years, Jacobs has assembled a top-notch management team of HVAC industry-experienced professionals. "The smarter they are, the smarter I am," says Brent. "We don't assume our employees know everything, but we do ensure they are the most knowledgeable and well-trained professionals in the market by investing in them." Every employee, including office staff and production people, receives training - both in-house and externally at industry seminars.
Jacobs also involves their field people in role-playing exercises where they pose situations that solicit responses to "What happens when..?" Personality tests are administered to determine employee strengths and weaknesses. Shop people are all industry trained, and some are involved in teaching others.
All of this is done not just to make them better long-term employees, but better people, too. We believe we are the best and make sure our employees have the tools and the training to be the best.
