HVAC Wholesaler Comfort Supply Lands 4442 on the 2013 Inc. Magazine 500|5000 List  

Labels: , 0 comments


Comfort Supply, a heating and air conditioning wholesaler of quality Ruud products, has been named to the 2013 Inc. 500|5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. Ranked 4442 overall, the company cited a three-year growth rate of 53 percent.

The Nashville, Tenn. based company, ranked 41 out of the 43 Middle Tennessee area companies that made the list. The company also ranked 167 nationally within the construction industry. This is the first time the company applied for the prestigious distinction.

Comfort Supply has grown rapidly in recent years, with locations in Nashville, Chattanooga, Clarksville, Cookeville, Knoxville and Murfreesboro. The company expanded from one location in Nashville to six within five years. Since 2002, the company has grown from six to nearly 50 employees.

“Expanding into East Tennessee in 2011, first in Knoxville and then in Chattanooga, was a big step forward for our company, and a way to open the Ruud line of products to a whole new market of HVAC professionals,” said Clay Blevins, president. “We’ve also worked to update our existing stores to include a greater product offering and stock consistency. I think this award shows that we’re making the right steps forward.”

According to the magazine, companies are chosen for the list by comparing revenue growth from 2009 to 2012. Companies must be U.S.-based, privately held, independent, for-profit and not a subsidiary or division of another company. Revenues in 2009 must have been at least $100,000 and at least $2 million for 2012.

The full list can be accessed at inc.com/inc5000/list/2013.

Tennessee's Commercial Market for Ruud HVAC Products Grows 19% in Last Two Years  

Labels: , , 0 comments


Ruud’s annual report of regional shipments and sales for its commercial products recently showed 19% sales growth for the brand in Tennessee from 2010 to 2012, which is the highest in the Southeast by 6%.

Additionally, Tennessee ranked second, behind Florida, in the three-year average of commercial shipments of quality Ruud HVAC products. Tennessee moved an average 14,598 units from 2010 to 2012, or 16 percent of the total Southeast distribution area.

Florida had the highest average shipments, claiming 31 percent of the total market, followed by Tennessee, Georgia (15 percent) and North Carolina (13 percent).

It’s impressive that Tennessee represents such a significant, growing chunk of Ruud commercial shipments. Considering that Tennessee’s adult population is much smaller than many of our peer communities, you’d think that commercial construction in states like Georgia and North Carolina would be higher than Tennessee, which doesn’t appear to be the case. Companies are investing in Tennessee’s workforce. They’re building and expanding their headquarters and purchasing more Ruud HVAC equipment.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Tennessee’s adult population is roughly 33 percent smaller than both Georgia and North Carolina. In 2012, the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development announced major corporate expansions and/or relocations, including Nissan (Smyrna), Nike (Memphis), Oberto Brands (Nashville), Agero (Clarksville), HCA (Nashville) and Tractor Supply Co. (Brentwood), among others.

Ruud’s report also revealed a three-year upward trend of commercial shipments within Tennessee. South Carolina was the only other state to show positive year-over-year-over-year growth.

The statewide statistics certainly mirror Comfort Supply's trend as a Ruud distributor. For example, in 2011, our commercial sales grew roughly 40% year over year.

The states included in the assessment were Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
