After spending nine years in the HVAC industry, Sergey Nikolin decided to open his own company. He never imagined he would one day run a business. His plan was to improve customer service and technician culture from within an existing organization. That changed when he was told there was no more room for him to grow. This moment pushed him to build a company shaped by the values he believed the industry was missing.
With Product Air Heating, Cooling, and Electric, LLC, Sergey’s mission is to put people first, serve the Western Washington community he grew up in, and bring genuine trust back to the home-service industry. To him, putting people first means giving both customers and employees the opportunity to benefit, grow, and achieve shared goals. It means listening carefully, understanding each homeowner’s needs, and making every interaction based on service and respect.
Western Washington is personally meaningful to Sergey because he was born and raised there. The community shaped who he is, and building a company in this region feels like a way to give back. That connection influences the work culture he is creating at Product Air Heating, Cooling, and Electric, LLC. He focuses on building an environment that is energetic, positive, trusting, and driven by performance. When hiring technicians, he looks for people who are great listeners, who understand others, and who genuinely want to serve the community.
Sergey has now dedicated twelve years to this profession and remains committed to improving the customer experience through reliable, relationship-centered service. He believes that going above and beyond should be part of everyday work, not an exception. This philosophy is a major reason why the company consistently receives five-star reviews. Homeowners often express how impressed they are with the thoughtful approach his team brings to each project. Sergey views this approach simply as treating people the right way.
Quality and consistency are maintained through structured technician training, detailed job manuals, and completion checklists. Managers review photos, make site visits, and support technicians whenever needed to ensure every installation or repair meets the company’s standards.
What Sergey enjoys most about his work today is seeing the impact Product Air Heating, Cooling, and Electric, LLC has on homeowners. Every home they serve brings him closer to his long-term goal of building a trusted brand for the people of Western Washington. Each service call reinforces his belief that he is creating something meaningful, built on trust, integrity, and a genuine commitment to helping others.
