Our Story

The Anderson Story

John was serving heating and air customers before John Anderson Service Company, Inc. was formally incorporated in 1978. His hands-on experience grew into a whole-home approach: customers with new equipment still had uncomfortable rooms and high power bills, so he looked beyond the unit to ductwork, insulation, air sealing and the home itself.

That work led to BPI certification and the custom sheet metal shop at 519 Pine Street, where ductwork is built to fit each home. Today, HVAC, insulation, weatherization, duct cleaning, indoor air quality and custom fabrication remain together under one family-owned roof.

Shyloh joined the shop in 2019 and now leads all daily operations as General Manager, Vice President and CFO. Under his leadership, the daily operating fleet has grown from three or four vans to nearly a dozen, alongside a rebrand and new offices in Rome and Dalton.

"I realized I had to own the whole house power bill — not just swap the box."

Leadership Rooted in Community

Shyloh leads the company’s daily operations and business direction. John remains an active technical member of the team, working on his own schedule.

Founder & Technical Team Member

John Anderson

John grew up behind the counter of his family’s neighborhood grocery store in Calhoun, where fixing the store’s coolers with his dad, JD, sparked a lifelong curiosity about how things work. He was serving customers before the company’s formal incorporation in 1978. His whole-home approach, BPI certification and custom sheet metal shop remain part of Anderson’s technical foundation.

John remains an active member of the Anderson team. Working on his own schedule, he helps troubleshoot technical problems, supports the crew and spends time on shop and personal projects. He has stepped back from daily business management, with Gypsy still a familiar presence at the shop.

General Manager, Vice President & CFO

Shyloh Chavez

Shyloh Chavez leads the company as General Manager, Vice President and CFO, with responsibility for all daily operations, the team, finances, marketing and business direction. Since joining the shop in 2019, he has led the company’s growth, rebrand and Rome and Dalton office expansion, and built this website.

Outside work, Shyloh serves on the Calhoun Young Professionals Committee, sings with the Community Chorus, performs with Calhoun Little Theater, and square dances with the Cherokee Promenaders. Read how his connection with John began.
