OUR STORY

How Academy Air Became a Trusted Name in St. Louis Heating and Cooling

Academy Air was founded by Terry Silverstein, who built the company around a simple idea: homeowners in St. Louis deserve heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical service done right, by people who actually know what they are doing and stand behind their work.

From day one, Terry set the standard that still defines Academy Air today. Every technician is trained and tested. Every job is diagnosed thoroughly to find the root problem, not just a quick fix. Every client is treated with honesty and respect. Terry remains involved in the business, still visiting clients and providing ongoing technical training to the team he built.

Zachary Silverstein took ownership of Academy Air. Under his leadership, Academy Air has grown significantly, expanded into plumbing and electrical services, and continued building the reputation Terry established. Academy Air is now a one-stop shop for homeowners across the St. Louis and St. Charles metro areas.

We are still a small business at heart. We are located in the communities we serve, and we answer to our neighbors, not to a corporate call center.
