Coolmax has success by word of mouth alone C oolmax Heating and Air was founded in 2000, by David Ussery. Ussery attributes his success and growth to God and the sup- port and recommendations of his clientele. Advertising has not been a top priority for Coolmax, as his cus- tomers have always assisted in di- recting business to him. “We knew if we did a quality and professional job, people would spread the word,” says Ussery. “One job turned into two jobs, two into three — clients continued to recommend us, and before we knew it, we were well established.” A graduate of Georgia College, Ussery moved to Florida to take on an internship as an athletic trainer for a minor league baseball team. Not long after, Ussery was back in Milledgeville to begin Coolmax with his wife, Jill, who is the office manager at the Milledgeville lo- cation. The two met in David Ussery’s last elective class at Georgia College. It did not take long until homesickness for Milledgeville set in and they willingly returned. Neither David nor Jill ever imagined that soon, they would be operating a thriving heat- ing and air conditioning business. Coolmax primarily does retro fits, repairs and service maintenance for both residential and commercial establishments, but also of- fers a bulk of other services. Clean air quality control is a major emphasis for Coolmax, of- fering duct cleaning, anti-microbial fogging, and air cleaning systems. “We also offer duct design and zone sys- tems. We work on many homes with outdated systems. If your home is 10 to 15 years old, the heating and cooling system has started to lose its efficiency,” says Ussery. Coolmax has two offices: one in Milled- geville and one in the Lake Oconee area. Coolmax services all surrounding counties including: Baldwin, Jones, Hancock, Put- nam, Greensboro, and more. Although it does a majority of residential work, Coolmax has worked at multiple commercial locations, as well, such as the Macon Mall, the Shoppes at River Crossing, Georgia College, and several restaurant chains. Coolmax would be thrilled to send out one of its professionals to evaluate local home systems, repair old or faulty systems, or in- stall a new efficient system or air cleaner at any business or home.
