History of AK AIRE, LLC Heating & Cooling
HOW WE GOT STARTED
Alan Borusovic has been in the industry longer than most, he has been in the service and install field since 1995. In the course of his career he built up his reputation as being one of the leaders at solving and fixing all kinds of issues when it comes to furnaces, central air conditioners, heat pumps, hot water boilers, steam boilers, tankless boiler, hot water heaters, you name it he can fix it and if can’t be fix he can install it. He started his career working for a few good companies like, Anthony’s Heating & Plumbing, where he learned plumbing, boilers and Hot Water Heaters. After several years, he moved over to Edison Heating & Cooling where he put his skills to test in becoming one of their lead selling service technician. After mastering the service side, he moved on to Gold Medal to their service and installation department and as Gold Medal grew, so did his job duties.
But, then in 2007, Alan Borusovic, left his Job as an Installation Manager at Gold Medal and started his own company with a business partner and by 2013 set off with his wife Kelley Borusovic to form AK AIRE LLC a Heating & Cooling company Fully Insured and Bonded with a New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor license and a MASTER HVACR license. Within the year, they went from their home garage to store front located in South River, NJ 08882 and now to their office/warehouse location in North Brunswick, NJ 08902.
“When we started our company AK AIRE, LLC in 2013, we had one goal in mind… to be able to provide families and small businesses with complete solutions when it comes to a customers heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical and generator needs,” says CEO, Kelley Borusovic.
Their ambition did not end there, in 2019, they decided it was time to stop being a subcontractor to well known Generator Companies and branched out for themselves by bringing aboard Family and launching the electrical/generator division under AK AIRE Generators, INC with the help of Charles Billman and Their Uncle, Master Electrician, Michael Mercer. Under the guidance of Uncle Mike, Alan, yet again stepped up his game and is currently completing he 2nd year of Electrical Trade school. In just two short years, Alan will hold another Master title, Master Electrician.
The next natural step was bringing on a family friend, and Master Plumber, Glenn Vignola, in order to launch the plumbing division and by the end of 2019, AK HOME SERVICES, INC. was launched with great success in the face of the COVID pandemic.
