What our employees have to say:

I can confidently say that I've never been part of a more focused company, working as one big team to achieve amazing success.

There is never a day you don't learn something new at Captive Aire. I am able to learn something new due to the freedom to take on new tasks independently and problem solve.

I love the mindset of continuous learning and pushing the bounds of your capabilities and knowledge. I love the people I work with and the environment, particularly in a world where remote work is common. I love how Captiveaire is all about connections, with customers, coworkers, end users, and everyone in between.

One of the things I appreciate most about Captive Aire is how strongly it embodies the entrepreneurial spirit. I'm empowered with the autonomy to manage my work independently, while also benefiting from the robust support and resources of a large, well-established company.

Captive Aire is fast-moving and no-nonsense. We operate differently than any other company that I've worked for with our decentralized structure. Quick action is taken when a good idea is presented. We are focused on end users where the rest of the industry is very short-sighted. We are on the front lines, actively changing the landscape of the HVAC industry.
