HOUSTON – Owners Rene Maldonado and his father Ruben purchased Mr. Christopher’s A/C & Heating six years ago. The previous owner founded the company 32 years ago.
“We have been in the air conditioning and heating industry for 20 years,” Maldonado said. “I helped my dad out as a kid and I eventually earned my license.
“Since we purchased the company, we built and retained the customer list that the previous owner had. We have a positive outlook for 2010.”
Maldonado says he handles all the office duties while his father works out in the field.
“Every once in a while, my brothers Ruben Jr. and Danny will do some installation work,” he said. “In addition, my wife Mireya comes in to assist me with the bookkeeping.”
Maldonado and his wife have been married for 16 years and they have three children.
“I love going fishing with my family,” he said. “Mireya and I enjoy watching our kids play softball, baseball and soccer. We also like to go tailgating at the Houston Texans games. This year, I have been to nine games so far.
“My father’s hobby is cooking chicken fajitas and carnitas at family gatherings or birthday parties. In his spare time, he builds flat grills to put over propane burners. He started making the grills for fun about eight years ago. He uses them to cook and also gives them out to friends and family.”
In the future, Maldonado says he and his father want purchase their own office building and continue to grow their business.
