Dion and Petra Quinn founded AC Pro in 1986 as a regional heating and air conditioning supply house in Southern California. The business grew on contractor relationships: stocking equipment, parts, and supplies for residential and commercial HVAC professionals rather than selling to homeowners.
Through the 1990s and 2000s, AC Pro expanded its branch footprint across Southern California and into Southern Nevada and Arizona. It differentiated on inventory depth and next-day availability, positioning itself as the local alternative to national HVAC distributors.
The AC Pro equipment brand grew out of the company's supply relationship with Allied Air Enterprises, the Lennox International subsidiary that also manufactures the Armstrong Air, AirEase, and Concord brands. AC Pro-branded condensing units, packaged systems, furnaces, and air handlers are built on Allied Air platforms at facilities in the United States and Mexico, then marketed under the AC Pro label exclusively in the company's territory.
Alongside equipment distribution, AC Pro built its own manufacturing operation for sheet metal products: two fabrication plants in Fontana, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada, produce custom ductwork, linesets, and fittings with next-day turnaround. The Quinn family also founded God's Kids, a nonprofit supporting orphanages and feeding centers, in 2002.
As of 2026, the company operates more than a dozen locations across its three-state footprint and remains under founding-family ownership, a structure it promotes in its contractor marketing.
