Our story
Built on 30 years of expertise.
Founded in 2011 by Jamie and Schuyler Kilbride, K-ROD grew from one clear vision: deliver honest, expert HVAC service clients can rely on for life.
Experience since 1995
A family business built to last.
With combined industry experience going back to 1995, Jamie and Schuyler brought decades of real knowledge to every project from day one.
From family homes in El Cajon to terminal buildouts at LAX and work at the San Diego Zoo, every job receives the same precision, professionalism, and personal accountability.
K-ROD has grown across residential replacements, complex commercial construction, airport concessions, and multi-family development—without losing the values that started the company.
