IT ALL BEGAN IN APRIL 2000
In April 2000 Rick decided to leave his 11-year position as Service
Inspector at Union Energy (formerly Union Gas) to start up a Residential
Plumbing and Heating business. With the support of his wife, Jody (nee
Connors), Rick worked from the basement of his home in
Valley East
with 2-5 employees.
In 2001, Rick bid on his first Commercial job at the
Club D’Age D’Or in Hanmer. The Board of Directors was pleased with his
presentation and awarded him the job. This large renovation quickly grew
into a large mechanical project and allowed Rick to increase his
workforce. The experience was a success and helped set the foundation to
pursue work in the commercial market.
In September 2004 Rick relocated the business to the
Valley East
Industrial Park
at
2869 White Street
where Independent Energy
Services, provides Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation and
Air-Conditioning equipment and services to both the Residential and
Commercial markets.
Rick makes it very clear that he is in this business
for the long term. “I believe that I have formed a sound foundation
for this business and, I intend to pass it on to my sons, Justin and Joel.
I am hopeful that it will be passed on for generations and that it will
continue to employ and support many families within the
Sudbury
region as well as continue to serve our customers’ needs”.
Rick and Jody invite you to
make arrangements to meet their Home Comfort
Specialists in person and, find out what is meant by “clean air, the
best air and, Total Home Comfort - the Independent Way

“At Independent Energy, we are committed to building
customer relationships and providing customers

expertise and quality Trane products. Remember, “It’s hard to stop a
Trane!”
