Albany Air Conditioning and Heating Co., Inc.

In 1949, Edward C. Newsome left his job with Mingledorff's to start his own company, Albany Air Conditioning and Heating Company, Inc., on Roosevelt Avenue, with his wife Wildred. As the company's name became trusted, business rapidly grew, and Albany Air Conditioning and Heating Company earned a stellar reputation that has made it a community mainstay. 
The need for more space and additional employees was met with a new building on Broad Avenue, before the company moved to its current location on West Gordon Ave. in 1973. It is here where Mr. Newsome's son, Edward C. Newsome Jr., came home from college to work for the family business. In 1990, he purchased the company from his father.
Ed Jr. has continued to grow the company with the help of 50+ employees who are responsible for installing and servicing thousands of systems across Southwest Georgia. Edward "Clint" Newsome III joined the company in 2008 as Vice President, and he handles project management and business operations.
