Locally owned, plainly
Four things a local owner actually changes
The owners live here
Jim Blok and Aaron Anger have owned this company since 2008 and they are in the building. There is no regional office and no investor group setting targets from another state. If a job goes wrong, the people responsible for putting it right are a short drive from your house.
The crew is hired from the county
The technicians who come to your door live in the same towns you do and heat the same kind of houses through the same winters. That is not sentiment — it is why they know what a 1920s Sheboygan basement looks like before they walk down the stairs.
Reputation is the whole marketing budget
In a county this size you cannot outrun a bad install. Word gets around a church hall faster than it gets around the internet. It is a genuinely useful constraint on a business, and it is the reason we would rather lose a sale than make one we would have to defend.
We give in two places, consistently
Coats for Kids and the Sheboygan County Food Bank, year after year, rather than a different charity photo every quarter. A small company does more good by showing up repeatedly in two places than by appearing once in twenty.

Our community program, and the place to read how the Coats for Kids drive works, what you get for a coat, and where to drop one off.

Working here
Hiring locally is the most direct thing a business does for a place. If you are a technician thinking about a change, this is what the shop is like from the inside.
Employment
The towns we cover
Sheboygan County and the lakeshore south into Ozaukee. A compact area, worked properly, rather than a map with pins all over it.

About the company and the county
Is Advanced Comfort Systems locally owned?
Yes. It has been locally-owned and operated like a family since 2008 by Jim Blok and Aaron Anger, and it operates from a single shop at 1130 Michigan Ave in Oostburg, Wisconsin. It is not a branch of a regional or national group.
What community programs does Advanced Comfort Systems support?
Two standing ones: a Coats for Kids partnership and support for the Sheboygan County Food Bank. Both run through Advanced Comfort Cares, the company's community program. The details of how to take part are here.
How do I ask Advanced Comfort Systems to support a local cause?
Call the office on (920) 564-2333, Monday to Friday between 7am and 3pm, and tell us what you are working on. It is a small company with two commitments already in place, so the honest answer is that we cannot say yes to everything — but you will get a real answer from a person rather than silence.
Do you hire locally?
Yes. The technicians are from the county and the work stays inside it. If you are in the trade and thinking about a move, there is a page about what working here is actually like.
Does being local change what I pay?
It changes what you are paying for. There is no regional marketing overhead and no head-office margin in the number, and there is no sales structure that rewards anyone for selling you more equipment than the house needs. What you get instead is a diagnosis, a written price, and the same two owners answering for it afterwards.
Same county, same phone number, since 2008.
Whether you need a furnace looked at or you want to drop a coat off, it is the same door on Michigan Avenue and the same people behind it.
