History of AC Pro
Dion and Petra Quinn founded AC Pro in 1986 as a regional HVAC supply house in Southern California. The early business was built on a simple formula: deep local inventory and contractor service in a market where national distributors offered slower availability.
Through the 1990s and 2000s, AC Pro expanded its branch network across Southern California and extended into Southern Nevada and Arizona, following the rapid residential construction growth of the desert Southwest. The territory it serves is among the highest-demand cooling markets in the country.
The AC Pro equipment brand emerged from the company's supply relationship with Allied Air Enterprises, the Lennox International subsidiary that manufactures the Armstrong Air, AirEase, and Concord equipment lines. 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 sold exclusively through AC Pro's territory. This private-label arrangement gives the distributor a house brand with higher margins than resold national nameplates.
AC Pro added vertical manufacturing capability with its sheet metal operations. Fabrication plants in Fontana, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada, produce custom ductwork, fittings, and linesets with next-day turnaround, a service that national distributors cannot easily match locally.
As of 2026, AC Pro operates more than a dozen branch locations across its three-state territory and remains under Quinn family ownership, positioning itself in contractor marketing as the local, family-owned alternative to consolidated national distribution.
AC Pro Sustainability & Ethics
AC Pro's sustainability exposure is industry-standard: it distributes high-efficiency and low-GWP refrigerant equipment as the market transitions, and its fabrication operations focus on material efficiency. The company publishes no formal sustainability reporting, typical for a private distributor of its size.
