COMMITTED! 🖊️ We are pleased to officially welcome Gavin Hurley to to the team at ATR! Gavin is a soon-to-be graduate of Wapakoneta High School and the Apollo Career Center HVAC program.

Throughout his senior year, Gavin continued to work in 2-week increments, where he gained valuable hands-on experience in the field with our HVAC Technicians.

used the beautiful weather today to demo and set two new 400Ton chillers for a local college’s Pharmaceutical building. These units will provide reliable cooling for critical lab and research environments. Always satisfying to support education and innovation in our community!!

This week we had the pleasure of hosting Industrial Tech students and their instructors from Continental and Fort Jennings High Schools. The students were able to learn about ATR and the services we provide, then had some fun with a few hands-on activities. They learned about different piping systems, plumbing tools, and a variety of heating and air conditioning equipment. They then had some real-life experience with building sheet metal fittings, bending conduit for electrical wire, welding, operating a scissor lift, and proper donning, doffing, and use of personal protective equipment. Shout out to our awesome crew for teaching the kids about safe and smart use of the tools and equipment and being great educators! It was a great day sharing our knowledge with the next generation of potential trades workers and we can't wait to see where their paths take them in the future!
