Youngrens: A Legacy of Comfort and Excellence in Aurora’s HVAC Industry


Youngrens: Keeping Aurora Cool Since 1953

Youngrens, a family-owned and operated HVAC company, has been a cornerstone of comfort and reliability in Aurora, Illinois, and its surrounding communities for nearly seven decades. Founded in 1953 by Harold Youngren, the company began as a small heating and cooling service provider, operating out of a modest garage in downtown Aurora.

A Legacy of Growth and Innovation

As the years passed, Youngrens steadily expanded its operations, keeping pace with the rapid developments in HVAC technology. The company’s commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction quickly earned them a reputation as the go-to experts for all things heating and cooling in the area.

By the 1970s, Youngrens had outgrown its original location and moved to a larger facility in North Aurora. This expansion allowed the company to broaden its service area, extending to neighboring communities such as Montgomery and Sugar Grove. The increased capacity also enabled Youngrens to offer a wider range of services, including:

  • Residential and commercial HVAC installation
  • Air conditioning repair and maintenance
  • Furnace and boiler services
  • Indoor air quality solutions
  • Energy-efficient system upgrades

A Commitment to Community and Education

Throughout its history, Youngrens has maintained a strong connection to the local community. The company regularly participates in charitable events and sponsors youth sports teams in Aurora and Montgomery. Additionally, Youngrens has established a scholarship program for local students pursuing careers in HVAC technology, demonstrating their dedication to nurturing the next generation of industry professionals.

Adapting to Changing Times

As environmental concerns and energy efficiency became increasingly important, Youngrens adapted its practices to meet these new challenges. The company has become a leader in promoting eco-friendly HVAC solutions, offering a range of energy-efficient systems and educating customers on best practices for reducing their carbon footprint.

Looking to the Future

Today, Youngrens continues to thrive under the leadership of the third generation of the Youngren family. With a team of over 50 highly trained technicians and support staff, the company remains committed to providing top-notch HVAC services to residents and businesses throughout Aurora, North Aurora, Montgomery, and beyond.

As Youngrens looks to the future, the company remains focused on embracing new technologies and maintaining its reputation for excellence. Whether it’s installing state-of-the-art smart home systems or providing emergency AC repair on a sweltering summer day, Youngrens stands ready to keep the communities of Aurora comfortable for generations to come.
