In 1959 Barker Electric Air conditioning and Heating was incorporated by Judd Barker. The office was located at 1936 Commerce Avenue in Vero Beach, Florida. In 1980 the company and office was sold to John A. Colontrelle. At that time it was John, one other service technician, and a secretary. In 1982 Barker became a Rheem independent dealer. The company continued to grow as air conditioning contractors throughout the 1980's and employed 5 service technicians at the end of the decade. The company also opened a full sheet metal fabrication shop in 1987. In 1992 Barker became a Trane independent dealer. The relationship continued and in 1996 Barker became a Trane Comfort Specialist, upon the program's inception. To help further take care of the needs of North Indian River County, John opened an office in Sebastian in 1996. The Sebastian office employed an office manager and a service technician at the time. Today, it employs an office manager, 3 service technicians, and a full time secretary. Throughout the 1990's Barker continued to grow and by the end of the decade it employed 8 service technicians, 12 installation technicians/duct mechanics, 3 secretaries, a full time sheet metal mechanic, and 4 managers overseeing all operations. In 2003 John's oldest son, John W. Colontrelle, joined the business and after a time in the field ascended to general manager, and oversaw all of the business's day-to-day operations. John's second son, Danny Colontrelle, joined the business in 2008 and serves in the comptroller position to take care of all of Barker's finances. Their arrival has ensured that Barker will stay a family business, and continue to serve Indian River County's HVAC needs with the same great Barker service. In 2004, Vero Beach was unfortunate to be struck by 2 major hurricanes in a 20 day period. The demand for air-conditioning service was great because of the large amount of damage to the county's residential and commercial properties. Barker was there to answer all of our customer's HVAC needs and make sure that they were taken care of in a timely and efficient manner. During this time Barker grew to 65 employees to service our giant customer base. In 2008, Barker had moved into its new facility to accommodate the company's growth and to continue to serve the great demand of Indian River County's HVAC requirements. Our office houses a showroom, equipment and parts warehouse, and a separate sheet metal fabrication shop. We have 50 of the best trained air-conditioning service experts, office staff, and management to take care of our customers.
