    Blog Author
    Don Rackler is a native of San Antonio. He learned the air conditioning and heating trade first at Harlandale High School in the early 1970's, then in the Local Plumber’s and Pipefitter’s union. He honed his skills while employed at local and regional companies in and around San Antonio. He started his first air conditioning company in 1986. Through his hard work and foresight, this company became one of the most successful residential companies in all of South Texas. During the HVAC consolidation trend in the late 90’s, his company was much sought after as a profitable acquisition for conglomerates. He resisted their ovations until he sold the company in 1999 to spend time with his family and pursue other interests.

    In February 2001, with a fresh perspective and a desire to build an even greater air conditioning company, he opened the doors to Jon Wayne Heating and Air Conditioning, which has become San Antonio’s largest residential heating and air conditioning company specializing in repair and replacement services. Today, his company employs 22 N.A.T.E. Certified technicians and has received the Bryant Medal of Excellence in 2006, 2007, and 2009 Find out more »
