Values that Shape the Company

In business for nearly a quarter of a century, Controlled Holdings has based its success off six core values.

People First

In both business and life, success starts with people. At Controlled Holdings, we treat our staff, contractors, customers and all who cross our paths with respect and kindness.

Own It

Proper air flow in a home occurs when each part of the home’s ventilation system works correctly. Similar to the ventilation system operating properly as a whole, we own our individual responsibilities at Controlled Holdings, making sure we work as a reliable, well functioning unit you can count on.

Solve Problems at their Core

Problems, big and small, are a part of life. Controlled Holdings is determined to face all problems we encounter head on and solve them at their core. Our goal isn’t only to provide you with the equipment you need to correct issues on the job, but to continue to create solutions to larger problems the HVAC industry faces.

Never Stop Learning

Knowledge is power. Every member of Controlled Holdings is determined to further their knowledge of the HVAC industry and the people and products its comprised of.

Demand Excellence, Not Perfection

Not everything works out perfectly the first go around. Controlled Holdings works towards excellence, not perfection. We strive to provide the best experience possible for all those we do business with in hopes of getting a little better each time.

Work Hard, Have Fun

We value hard work just as much as the next person, but we like to have a little fun too. The environment at Controlled Holdings will push you to your max potential, while making sure you’re enjoying yourself and positively impacting the people around you.

Controlled Holdings Leadership

Controlled Holding’s leadership team provides the vision that has propelled us from a small company that began out of Ron Jackson’s garage to a diversified leader in the HVAC industry in a remarkably short period of time.

Our History

1997

Creation of Jackson Systems

Jackson Systems first made its start in the garage of Ron and Bette Jackson in Indianapolis, Indiana.
1998
1998

Built First Facility & Hired First Employee

‘Twas on a fateful day in 1998 that Jackson Systems moved out of the Jackson’s garage and into a building of its own. We had grown legs, you see, and our baby business could now walk! We hired our very first employee and so the real adventure began…

Our Second New Facility

In 2003, we had grown larger than our original building could handle so we built a brand new facility on Elmwood Avenue in Indianapolis, where we still reside today.

We outgrew that building…

Three years after building our second facility, we needed more room. In 2006, we doubled the size of our Elmwood Avenue location to allow for our continued growth.

The Launch of the FilterFetch Program

Seeing a need to help homeowners with their filters, we created FilterFetch. FilterFetch is a program that delivers filters directly to your door on a reoccurring schedule so you never have to worry about when to change your filters!

Began IO HVAC Controls

IO HVAC Controls was created for wholesale distributors and their contractor clients. We wanted to create high-quality, cost-effective HVAC solutions to their industry needs.

Specified Controls Created

We wanted to do more within the HVAC industry and so Specified Controls was created! Specified Controls offers high-quality, unique commercial controls to the plan and specification market.

2020

We outgrew the building, again…

In 2020, we needed even more space to house our inventory and our employees. Luckily, we had some land in the back where we could put an extension! We ended up doubling our building size, making our current location 4x its original size.
2020

Launched TradesElite Program

Contractors have specific needs and tools for the jobs that they face. With TradesElite, we offered contractors special discounts and access to a wider array of products than are available for the general consumer.

Controlled Holdings was Established

Just like in Lord of the Rings, we needed one ring to rule them all. By 2021, all of our divisions had grown too large to remain as one entity. Controlled Holdings was established as our parent company and all of our companies were separated underneath it.
