About Powers Service Co Inc.

Bill Powers Sr. founded Powers Service Co. Inc. in 1952. Like many small businesses, Powers Service was initially run from the family home in Fairview, New Jersey. Bill’s work with commercial and industrial customers put him on the front line of the growth of central air conditioning. In the 1950’s this “modern convenience” was used mainly in factory settings. Residential needs would soon be added to the list of expert work Powers Service supplied. For almost sixty years Powers Service has grown along with its customers and their ever changing Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning needs. Today Powers Service Co Inc. is located at 59 Village Park Road in Cedar Grove New Jersey. Everyday Bill’s sons continue the work and commitment to service that their father believed was the only way to run a business.
Today Powers Service Co Inc is in the capable hands of Bill Sr.’s four sons.
