“We are pleased to recognize the HVAC industry’s elite contractors and technicians who are not only providing top-quality service to their customers but also making a difference in their community and focused on safety on the job,” said Malco president and CEO Mardon Quandt. “Each of the 2018 Trade-Pro of the Year winners are helping advance the industry’s reputation, safety, and experience, and we commend them on their dedication to the trade.”

That quote, from Malco’s CEO, is from last November, as five top HVAC contractors and technicians from across the United States were announced as winners of Malco’s second annual Trade-Pro of the Year award. It’s an award that Malco is more than proud to hand out, as we love recognizing and celebrating outstanding HVAC professionals who excel on the job and in their communities.

The Trade-Pro of the Year award began in 2017 as a way for Malco to shine some much-deserved light and recognition on all the trade professionals out there who work so hard and represent the industry in the best possible way. At Malco, we understand the long hours and the many sacrifices that go into being a successful HVAC technician, and we wanted to acknowledge the best of the best. We also recognize that safety is paramount to growing the industry. Malco knows that just about every HVAC technician is hard working and dedicated, so we also wanted to recognize tradesmen who are making a difference in their communities. It’s difference makers both on the job and in the community that shine the best light on the HVAC profession.
