A Legacy of Comfort and Excellence
Jackson & Foster has been a cornerstone of the San Diego heating and cooling industry for over four decades. Founded in 1978 by childhood friends Mike Jackson and Tom Foster, the company has grown from a small two-man operation to a leading HVAC service provider in Southern California.
Humble Beginnings
Mike and Tom started their business with a single truck and a shared passion for helping homeowners achieve optimal indoor comfort. Their dedication to quality service and customer satisfaction quickly earned them a loyal clientele in El Cajon, where they first set up shop.
Expansion and Growth
As word of their exceptional work spread, Jackson & Foster expanded its service area to include:
- Lemon Grove
- La Jolla
- Scripps Ranch
- Carmel Mountain
- Lakeside
By the mid-1980s, the company had established itself as a trusted name throughout San Diego County.
Commitment to Excellence
Jackson & Foster’s success can be attributed to its unwavering commitment to excellence. The company has always prioritized:
- Ongoing training for technicians
- Investment in cutting-edge technology
- Environmentally friendly practices
- Exceptional customer service
This dedication has earned them numerous accolades, including the San Diego Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics in 2005 and 2012.
Community Involvement
Beyond their professional achievements, Jackson & Foster has always been deeply involved in the local community. The company regularly participates in charitable events and sponsors youth sports teams throughout San Diego County.
A Family Legacy
Today, Jackson & Foster remains a family-owned and operated business. Mike’s daughter, Sarah Jackson, took over as CEO in 2015, while Tom’s son, Chris Foster, serves as the company’s Chief Operating Officer. Under their leadership, the company continues to grow while maintaining the personal touch and quality service that have been its hallmarks since 1978.
