The Morris-Jenkins Story
The Morris-Jenkins story starts in 1958, when Luther Morris started with a pick-up truck, a tool shed and a simple philosophy: do what's right by the customer. As his business grew, he became known for sales and installations of quality air conditioning and heating systems. Always innovative and pioneering, Luther installed the first Gas Pak in the region. Gas Paks now account for more than 20% of all residential systems in the market. Luther also installed the first working heat pump.
There are also some fun things few people know about Luther: he used to repair typewriters, and he sang in New York after years in the Navy! He grew the business to 12 employees and developed a reputation for honesty and quality before deciding to retire and sell the business to Dewey Jenkins in 1990.
Mr. Jenkins changed the name to Morris-Jenkins and began an emphasis on service that continues to this day. But he did more. He established the company's core values, with which we still begin every meeting. He then added this philosophy which is central to our way of doing business: Make it easy for our customers to do business with us.
Morris-Jenkins has been around since 1958, and we started with nothing more than a pick-up truck and a tool shed. We continue to grow every year, and now we have over 500 employees!
