Bob’s Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc. was established in 1969 by Bob Ball and Don Brenneman in Kemah, Texas. After one short year, they relocated to the present location in League City, Texas.
In 1973, the company was incorporated with the State of Texas, became a radio dispatched service facility, and hired their first full-time service technician. The company then began to grow and flourish through the years with its dedicated employees and its rapidly growing customer base.
In 1986, Bob Ball, in order to pursue other ventures, sold his part of the company to Don Brenneman who then became the full owner. Robert Surman was then given the title of Service Manager after five consecutive years of hard work for the company. Subsequent to this change in management, the company experienced the greatest level of service growth in its history. Throughout the next fourteen years, as Don and Robby worked side by side, their commitment to providing the finest mechanical service possible allowed the company to expand.
In January 2000, Don Brenneman wished to retire. Therefore, he sold the company to Robby Surman; the one person whom he felt was committed and experienced enough to provide the same level of service his company had always delivered. Since that transition, the Company has evolved into a company that has adapted with the rapidly changing time by providing a broader spectrum of services.
In 2000, Antel, Inc. was established to branch out into the booming computer industry. After some time, the corporation began to do business as Surman Electric, Inc. after hiring their Master Electrician. In 2010, Bob’s Mechanical Services, Inc. began to handle the commercial HVAC and refrigeration side of business. In 2015, we began the process of bringing our sister companies back to one name – Bob’s.
