Alan Energy Services Celebrates 75 Years In A Special Way

John Alan Macnider started Alan Heating & Air Conditioning of Elmhurst in 1948. He said, “If you provide courteous, honest, professional service so a family can have more comfort, you can have a life-long friend.”

At the 75th Anniversary Celebration at the company headquarters on October 25, Eric Weech, Vice President of Operations, told over 100 customers, fellow business owners, and employees, that, indeed, Alan has been living up to Mr. Macnider’s vision.

After welcoming them to the celebration, complete with magnificent appetizers, and more, he explained Alan’s year-long Give Back program. He then said, “As part of our Give Back program, Alan has a very special announcement to mark this occasion.”

“I sought out local leaders to ask if there were any families that could benefit from the installation of heating and air conditioning; because we will remove the existing equipment, and install the new equipment at no charge.”

Several leaders responded, and Wayne Kuna of Grace Bible Church did have one couple in mind that could use the equipment and would be very grateful. The couple are retirees and church members Joanne and Bob McKendrick of Villa Park.

They live in a 100-year- old home and had a furnace almost that old, and no air conditioning. The decision was made, and on October 5th, a crew of 5 installers arrived at the McKendrick home. In 8 hours, they removed the old furnace and installed a brand-new Carrier High Efficient heating and cooling system.

Simply put, the McKendrick’s echoed the sentiment that many in Elmhurst and surrounding communities have had for 75 years: there is no better company to do business with, than Alan Energy Services.

They also told the crowd that they “have never been more comfortable.” Weech concluded with, “I am proud to carry on the tradition of building long-term relationships, just like Mr. Macnider.”
