What began as a part-time business has exploded into a full-time, full-service HVAC company. AM Gable Heating and Cooling has been an area institution since 1986. The company has grown some over the years, but has remained small by choice.

“It keeps us closer to our customer base,” explained General Manager Karin Gable. “We are not looking to see you one time and be done. We want you as a customer for life.”

A testament to the company’s philosophy, Gable explains many of their customers have been with them for years. “They like talking to someone who knows who they are and will chat about family happenings and their life.”

That family focus is important; owners Alan and Karin Gable just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in November. It must run in the family; last year, Alan’s parents celebrated their 60th anniversary. Gable likens a good business to marriage. “With work and patience,” he says, “it can be successful.”

Those same values and ethics are what the company is based on today. “That same belief is shared by my wife and our employees,” continued Alan. “Family has always been an important part of our lives. Our company is just that, a working family.”

In keeping with that family tradition, the company is community minded and focused on the Severna Park/Pasadena corridor. Through the years the company has sponsored numerous school events, sports organizations and churches throughout the area.

“We believe it’s important for businesses to give back to the community,” shared Karin Gable.

The company’s giving back has included Toys for Tots, Breast Cancer Awareness and Blood and Food Drives, as well as support for numerous school events, sports organizations and local churches.

“There was never any question as to where the location of our business would be,” continued Alan Gable, “This is our home and holds our history both personally and professionally. It is family, friends and community that have continued to make our business a success. This is where we work and play.”

AM Gable takes pride in being a full-service company, combining innovative design and the highest quality of service. All their technicians are licensed and continuing their education to stay on top of new technology. They can install gas, heat pumps, oil, geo thermal, radiant floors and ductless splits, pretty much whatever the customer wants.

The company focuses on the customer, posting promotions and discounts on their website and keeping customers up to date on any stimulus packages and utility rebates available. Even through the bleak economy, the folks at AM Gable have kept a sunny perspective.

“Looking ahead,” said Gable, “With the economy challenging businesses and families alike, it’s our wish that all the area families and businesses will have a prosperous year ahead of them.”
