What We Do

The journey to here.

Chas Roberts isn’t just the name on the door. Chas and Alice Roberts founded Chas Roberts Air Conditioning in 1942. The business has been family owned and operated since day one.

Prior to founding the business, Chas worked as a serviceman for the local utility. In the early years, sales consisted of home appliances, coolers, furnaces, air conditioners and service.
In the 50s and 60s, the company grew doing retrofits of houses with coolers to air conditioners, new installs in custom and tract homes and light commercial air conditioning. Chas Robert’s son, Chuck, took over managing the company in the 60s and provided the vision for future growth. Residential construction began to boom in the 70s and Chas Roberts grew to meet this need. New installations became an enormous part of the business and by the end of the decade Chas Roberts had become the dominant new construction air conditioning contractor in the Phoenix area. The 80s and 90s brought continued growth with the addition of multiple locations around the Valley as well as the 1991 launch of the business in Tucson.

In 1999, ownership and management of the company passed to Chuck Robert’s children, Don Roberts and Roberta Roberts Shank. Today we have over seven locations in the Phoenix area, plus one in Tucson. Chas Roberts Air Conditioning, Inc. was built on the idea of doing the job right the first time and Roberta Roberts Shank, CEO, has continued to build on this concept.

“We are proud to be a family owned business … we operate on a simple premise: provide quality products at fair prices. Our mission statement is: Creating comfortable living environments for Arizona homeowners by providing quality installations and service of heating & air conditioning systems at competitive prices.”

This loyalty to the customer began with our founder Chas Roberts – “My name is on every comfort system this company has ever installed and every member of Chas Roberts knows that means the world to me…and to our customers.”
