About Climatize

In 2012, Bill Jerome was working as a service technician for the Eugene Green Store, a graduate of the Lane Community College Energy Program with years of experience as a solar installer. As the solar market started to shift, Bill saw an opportunity and started training as a ductless mini-split technician. In 2014, the Eugene Green Store officially started offering HVAC services installing mini-split systems.

It quickly became clear that HVAC mini-split service providers are in high demand in the Lane County area, as more homeowners and commercial building managers realize the benefits of implementing higher efficiency systems for heating and cooling. The first system they installed was in Bill’s house, and it made a noticeable difference in the comfort

In 2019, as the Eugene Green Store reorganized and shifted focus, Climatize was registered as an Oregon LLC in order to continue offering HVAC services. It was launched as a family business, with Bill’s brother-in-law Ryan Ward coming on as the lead installer. 

In the years following, Climatize has installed hundreds of systems around Lane County, with a growing team of friendly, dependable HVAC experts. We continue to look for the best technology available to provide efficient heating and cooling for homes and buildings.
