Certified Electric

What Certified Electric does

Certified Electric, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned HVAC and electrical services contractor founded in 1971 in Brunswick, Georgia by Emory Young and Margaret Young, and currently operated by their sons Emory Young Jr. and Cliff Young following the founders' passing in 2019-2020. The company delivers residential and commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning services (installation, repair, maintenance, duct cleaning) alongside electrical services (installation, troubleshooting, repairs) for customers across Glynn County and the coastal Georgia Golden Isles, including St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island, and Sea Island.

The company's core technology stack is anchored by its status as the oldest Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer in Georgia (achieved in 1976) and a recent Carrier President's Award recipient. It installs and services the full Carrier residential and commercial line including Infinity-series air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps, ductless and geothermal systems, VRF commercial systems, and indoor air quality products, plus Mitsubishi ductless systems and Generac standby generators. Its workforce holds NATE technician certifications alongside multiple unrestricted Georgia state licenses (electrical, conditioned air, low voltage, boiler). The technology is product-vendor-driven rather than proprietary.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees across four streams: HVAC services, electrical services, HVAC equipment sales (Carrier, Mitsubishi, Generac), and customer financing facilitated through Wells Fargo and Microf for projects above $2,500. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer via phone, website contact forms, and on-site service visits, with marketing concentrated on Google/Facebook reviews, blog content, and Carrier co-branding. Customer segments are primarily residential homeowners and commercial businesses in Glynn County, with builders as a secondary segment.

• Coolray Heating & Cooling: Regional residential HVAC service, repair, and installation company headquartered in the Southeast US (Atlanta/Norcross, GA) covering similar suburban markets. Directly comparable in product mix (Carrier/Trane/Lennox dealer), service-agreement model, and target residential customer base.
