Our History

Pre 1900s

Stephen Price Moncrief

1898

Moncrief Furnace Company is founded by Stephen Price Moncrief, the South's first furnace manufacturing and service company of its kind—and the origin of today's Moncrief Heating & Air Conditioning!

1900s

Historic Street Scene With Vintage Cars

1932

Laurence Kent, Sr., takes over the company following Stephen Price Moncrief's death, serving as its CEO until 1950. From there, Kent's son, Laurence, Jr., steps in, running the business until 1959.

The Mutz Family

1959

The Mutz family—who'd had a business relationship with the Kents dating back to the early 1930s—acquires Moncrief from the Kents, leading to the beginning of Moncrief's current era. During this period, Moncrief introduces central and high-velocity air conditioning—a lifesaver during Atlanta's sweltering summers.

Tom Mutz

1973

Tom Mutz I transfers ownership of Moncrief to his son, Frank, who continues building the business into one of the Atlanta area's leading HVAC Providers.

2000s

Members Of The Mutz Family
