Dedicated to your home comfort since 1970. The roots of McCarthy’s One Hour start when John McCarthy Sr. was let go in 1970 from his first job with a small air conditioner repair company – for refusing to overcharge a customer.
John took advice from his wife Mary Kay and mother-in-law and started his own business. Armed with only $200 in working capital and an old rusty truck he purchased from his banker, he set out to serve the heating, air conditioning and overall home comfort needs of Omaha residents.
Mary Kay was with him every step of the way, taking phone calls and setting appointments to keep her husband busy. Together, they worked long hours, paid careful attention to details, and followed a simple motto that remains a focal point of the company today: “Urgency and accountability: every detail is important, and it’s everybody’s job to get it right.”
After many years of service McCarthy's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning is still servicing the Omaha metro area with about 45 employees. John and Mary Kay McCarthy are still very much apart of the business; Mary Kay still helps in the call center and John Sr is there to help in training the technicians to uphold their high standards.
