About Certified Heating and Air Conditioning

About Certified Heating and Air Conditioning

Bryan Arlaud grew up in the small town of Prescott, Arizona. A fourth-generation tin bender, Bryan has been in the trade industry practically his whole life. In fact, his nickname growing up was “Tin Knocker” because he was always pounding on or building something out of sheet metal.

The Journey To A Great HVAC Business

Bryan’s great-grandparents owned a sheet metal and heating shop in Oklahoma. His grandfather got HVAC experience while serving in the Army, and once Bryan’s grandfather retired, he continued working in this field. Bryan’s father, on the other hand, worked in the field to start until he transitioned into the wholesale side of the business, successfully growing the company to be one of the largest wholesale suppliers of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC in the country.

Certified Heating and Air Bryan Arlaud and Team

Bryan’s journey began while playing in the warehouse. He was then offered to clean his father’s friend’s sheet metal shop for extra money. By the time he was 14, Bryan started helping them make sheet metal fittings after school while also keeping the shop cleaned and organized. This later turned into him becoming an installer. Bryan worked his way up from being an install helper to the lead installer. He was an installer for eight years installing in existing residential as well as new construction and also light commercial.

The Business - HVAC Services In Concord, CA

In 2002, Bryan moved to California and found employment with a small mom-and-pop shop working out of Concord. This is where he began a Comfort Advisor role. This led to him becoming the sale manager, and successfully running the company for the next four years. The opportunity then came for Bryan to step back into field work as a service technician. He has been in this field for the last 10 years and grew to be a service advisor, training other people to expand their knowledge of the industry.

All of this experience and knowledge is what has led Bryan to follow in his family’s footsteps and open the doors at Certified Solar, Heating & Air Conditioning. He does this with a strong passion to help other people grow and change their lives while also changing the lives of the people we serve.
