HVAC/R isn’t just a career in our family—it’s a legacy.
⚠️ STORY TIME ⚠️
In 2014, I had the opportunity to meet my father and my father’s side of the family for the first time. After years of searching for where I belonged, I finally felt a sense of connection and family.
What makes the story even more incredible is that my older brother, Rigo Lopez, and I had both chosen the HVAC/R trade before we even knew each other. We were each studying to become HVAC/R technicians, working for different companies, chasing the same goals without realizing it.
Fast forward to today, and we’ve both built businesses of our own.
My brother, Rigo Lopez, proudly owns Avid Refrigeration Inc., serving the Coachella Valley in California.
I am proud to own Year-Round Mechanical, serving homeowners and businesses throughout the Greater Central Connecticut area.
And at the center of it all is our father, Manuel Lopez, the longtime proprietor of Lopez Landscaping Inc., who recently retired after years of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication.
Three men. Three businesses. One family.
Proof that hard work, determination, and family values can build something bigger than any one of us could accomplish alone.
