About Century A/C
History · Mission · Core Values
Century A/C Supply is a Houston-based wholesale distributor of Ruud HVAC equipment and supplies with 13 locations. Founded in 1973 by Dennis Bearden, Century A/C is a privately-owned company serving residential and commercial air conditioning contractors, the apartment industry, schools and government entities, and industrial companies throughout the state of Texas. By following the Gung Ho philosophy, employees are empowered to treat customers as friends and provide a level of service one would expect in a ‘mom and pop’ shop. Century staff are on a first-name basis with customers and often say “we’re small enough to know you but big enough to serve you".
Our Philosophy
“To regard employees as family and treat customers as friends with a generous amount of customer service thrown in.”
In 1998, Century formally adopted a business philosophy called Gung Ho! The Gung Ho! values are those that have been passed down through generations of Native Americans and involve three cornerstones that are surprisingly simple, yet amazingly powerful. Gung Ho! has created a collection of enthusiastic Century employees who are truly “providing customers with service beyond expectations” and transforming our customers into raving fans.
