Carlson Heating Cooling & Electric: Trusted Electrical Company Serving Glenview 60026
3340 W Lake Ave, Glenview, IL 60026
Business Background
Carlson Heating Cooling & Electric began in 1955 when Ray Carlson started his business from the trunk of his 1948 Pontiac. As the needs of the North Shore suburbs evolved, so did Carlson, expanding from heating into central air conditioning and eventually full-service electrical work. Now led by the third generation of the Carlson family—President M-J Carlson and Vice-President Daryl Carlson—the company operates from an 8,000 sq. ft. facility in Glenview. For over 65 years, their motto has remained the same: treat every customer the way they would want to be treated. This family-focused, reliable approach is why many of their current clients are the grandchildren of their original customers. Carlson provides comprehensive service and installation for furnaces, air conditioners, water heaters, generators, and a full range of electrical work for homes and businesses, always standing by their promise to be a name you can count on.
