Our Story

About General Heating & Air Conditioning

Welcome to the GHAC Family: A Community Built on Integrity and Trust

At General Heating & Air Conditioning (GHAC), we don’t just see ourselves as a company; we see ourselves as a tightly-knit community, bonded by a shared commitment to integrity, excellence, and service. Since our humble beginnings, we’ve embraced the values of honesty, empathy, and reliability, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of a close-knit family gathering.

General Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. was founded in 1968 by Jack Patterson, William Salyers, Charles Lykins, and Dick Dodge to satisfy a growing need for heating and air conditioning systems in new homes being built in the Flatwoods, KY region. Dick Dodge left the company during the first year, leaving Jack, William and Charles as the three owners.

The new home market was booming and by the early 1970’s GHAC had become the largest reseller of Amana heating and cooling products in the nation. GHAC opened a branch office in Minford, OH which was managed by Charles Lykins.
