Company History
Service That Works - For 30 Years
Home-Tech is an appliance and air-conditioning service company, founded in 1981 by Steve Marino, who continues as President and Chairman of the Board.
Home-Tech - Service That Works
The first Home-Tech “office” was located in the San Carlos Park home of Steve Marino and his then wife, Sharon. In 1984, the company built its first office/warehouse on Youngquist Road in Fort Myers. By 1989, Home-Tech had expanded its operation. It designed, built and moved to its new location on U.S. 41. When Home-Tech celebrated its 20th year anniversary, the employee owners proudly moved into its current location at 6400 Techster Boulevard in Fort Myers. This location services Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties. Home-Tech’s north territory office is located in Bradenton. It services Manatee and Sarasota counties. Home-Tech is currently constructing a second facility and showroom in Bradenton. Read more.
In 1982, Home-Tech purchased its 2nd service vehicle. Today, Home-Tech has a fleet of over 50 service vehicles.
Service That Works
A key to Home-Tech’s success is its apprenticeship program. This began in 1993 and has been going strong for 18 years. This training program offers employment and career skills to qualified individuals who desire to excel in the air conditioning and appliance industry.
Today Home-Tech employs over 131 people. Employee owners make up over half of Home-Tech’s staff. They have a stake in the company’s success. Therefore, you have an assurance that our employees are loyal and focused on providing exceptional, quality, personalized service.
Home-Tech started its community involvement over 10 years ago by becoming involved with Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Habitat for Humanity. In 2010, Home-Tech received the Gulf Shore Life Philanthropist of the Year Award. For an update on our continuing efforts to serve our community, we invite you to join us on Facebook.
We celebrate 30 years of service that works. We are constantly re-energizing and re-dedicating ourselves. We look forward to servicing southwest Florida for at least another 30 years!
