From Humble Beginnings to HVAC Heroes
In the sweltering heat of a Merrillville summer, the Maglish family’s journey began. John Maglish, a skilled plumber with a passion for helping others, noticed a growing need in his community. As air conditioning became more prevalent, he saw an opportunity to expand his expertise and make a real difference in people’s lives.
With determination in his heart and a toolbox in hand, John set out to learn everything he could about HVAC systems. He spent countless nights studying, practicing, and honing his skills. His wife, Sarah, supported him every step of the way, answering phones and managing the books as their small business began to grow.
Overcoming Challenges
The early days weren’t easy. Competing with established companies in Valparaiso and Chesterton seemed daunting. But the Maglish family persevered, driven by their commitment to quality service and customer satisfaction. They hired their first employee, Mike, who shared their vision and work ethic.
As word spread about their reliable AC repair and exceptional customer service, Maglish Plumbing, Heating, & Electric began to flourish. They expanded their services to include HVAC installation, recognizing the importance of helping homeowners stay comfortable year-round.
Building a Legacy
Years passed, and the company continued to grow. They opened offices in Portage, Hobart, and Crown Point, becoming a trusted name throughout Northwest Indiana. The Maglish team prided themselves on their ability to handle any air conditioning installation or service call with professionalism and expertise.
But it wasn’t just about the business. The Maglish family never forgot their roots or the community that supported them. They established a program to provide free AC services to elderly residents during heatwaves and sponsored local youth sports teams.
A Bright Future
Today, Maglish Plumbing, Heating, & Electric stands as a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and community spirit. With a team of over 50 skilled technicians and support staff, they continue to provide top-notch AC service to thousands of satisfied customers across the region.
As John Maglish looks back on his journey, he’s filled with pride and gratitude. “We’ve come a long way,” he reflects, “but our mission remains the same: to keep our neighbors comfortable and safe, one home at a time.”
