On April 2006, husband and wife team Matt and Sarah Ryan set out to change the heating and air conditioning industry. (Does that seem like a lofty goal?!) With a passion to offer awesome customer service and provide an employee-friendly atmosphere, Matt quit his job with one of the largest HVAC companies in the Portland area. With Matt’s seven years of experience with both installation and service of heating and air conditioning systems, and Sarah’s 10 years of experience as an office manager, they opened the doors of Petra Heating & Air Conditioning.
Primarily by word of mouth, Petra Heating & Air Conditioning has grown from having one person in the field (Matt) to having 13 field team members ready to serve the heating and air conditioning needs of the Portland metro area and beyond. Along with our field team, we have three office team members, one salesperson, and, of course, Matt and Sarah are here working alongside everyone! We take great pride in the fact we have grown almost entirely by word of mouth. Our clients' satisfaction, and ultimate referral, is our measuring stick!
Over the years, many people have asked “How did you come up with the name Petra?” The answer is simple: It was always Matt and Sarah’s desire to be a company built on integrity, customer service, and a desire to treat all people with the highest regard and respect. Found in the Bible, petra is the Greek word for “rock.” It is our desire your experience with Petra Heating & Air Conditioning will be built on a rock solid foundation of the ideals for which Matt and Sarah started this adventure! Each day, week, month, and year, we strive to improve upon ourselves—always striving to be better than we were the day before.
