| History |
|
 |
SORG Heating & Cooling, LLC was established as Sorg Sheet Metal Company in 1939 in Frankfort, Kentucky. It was founded and operated by Raymond Sorg at the age of 32.
In 1947, manufacturing representatives of the new device called “air conditioning” began trying to determine who would best handle this new product. Because the SORG family was known to be able to custom craft the sheet metal to become the ductwork necessary for properly installing furnaces, manufacturers began aligning themselves with the locally respected firm of SORG. |
- Frankfort’s first residential air conditioning system was installed in Raymond Sorg’s home in 1949 (now owned by Brandon Sorg’s mother, Laurie Sorg) and then shortly thereafter in Fred Sorg’s home (now occupied by Fred’s granddaughter and her family).
- Frankfort’s first commercial air conditioning system was installed in the Commonwealth of Kentucky offices of the very prominent highway commissioner Henry Ward.
- Frankfort’s first fully air conditioned office building was provided in 1949 by SORG on West Main Street at the Morris Arcade Building (now a parking lot adjacent to the offices of Architect Gary Scott near the current State National Bank main building).
- The first heat pump systems in Frankfort were installed by SORG in the early 1950’s through the ‘60’s. One of those early systems continued to function through the late 1990's at the current city hall building housing the Frankfort Electric and Water Plant Board offices on Second Street.
- Central Kentucky’s very first high efficiency gas furnaces exceeding 90% operating efficiency were installed in the 1980’s by SORG.
- Raymond’s son Dean became sole owner and President when he bought the remaining shares of the company stock from his brother David Sorg, uncle Fred, and father Raymond in 1988.
- Raymond Sorg retired in 1988 leaving Dean to fully run the company after he purchased the entire stock shares of the ownership from Raymond Sorg and Fred Sorg. Fred Sorg remained working with the company until his retirement in 1992.
- SORG COOLING - HEATING was the officially registered name of this firm at the Secretary of State’s offices in April of the year 2000.
- Due to Dean’s retirement in 2008, SORG Cooling-Heating closed operations.
- January 1, 2009, SORG Heating & Cooling, LLC was established to continue the quality service in the heating and cooling industry. Dean’s son, Brandon Sorg, continues the tradition as a 3rd generation owner.
- The service and installation technicians have over 100 years of combined experience working for SORG. The staff knows the high standards Raymond & Dean Sorg enforced and SORG remains committed to providing quality service and installation under new ownership.
- SORG continues to offer high-quality heating and air conditioning service, installations, and accessories with an emphasis on indoor air quality.
