Our History
Over 75 Years of First-Class Service in Toronto
When Harry L. Bach opened the doors of Atlas
Service Co. in 1932 on Toronto's Yorkville Avenue, he
never could have guessed his small heating servicing company would
one day become one of central Ontario's largest and most respected
heating, cooling, and indoor air quality specialists.
Harry's original vision was likely more immediate: jobs were
hard to come by, and he needed to rely on his trade skills to
ensure reliable employment through the looming Great Depression
that would continue to grip North America for most of the next
decade. While families were giving up their luxuries, home heating
remained essential.
With his work ethic and dedication to providing reliable,
friendly service, Harry and his wife Grace built Atlas from the
ground up. In 1949, General Electric entrusted Atlas with a
contract to service its installed equipment in Toronto. And in
1950, Atlas installed its first central air conditioner!
A New Era: "Atlas Air"
Harry passed the torch to his son Robert (Bob) Bach in
1967. Bob was a recent engineering graduate, and he used
his engineering knowledge and skills to bring a new level of
innovation and technological excellence to the industry. The
company changed its name to "Atlas Air" and moved to a larger
building on the border of Etobicoke and Mississauga, where it
captured the booming suburban market.
Bob's engineering expertise allowed him to specialize in
customized installations of the most cutting-edge heating and
cooling products in the industry.
In the early 1980s, Bob met a fellow engineer, Roger Grochmal.
Bob's philosophy and approach - to create innovative solutions to
heating and cooling challenges while always providing exceptional
service - instantly appealed to Roger.
In 1986, as Roger was looking for a new career opportunity, Bob
Bach was looking for someone to buy Atlas Air.
With Roger Grochmal as President and CBO of AtlasCare, the
company continued its passion for customer care and first-class
service, and was able to triple in size by 2005.
In March 2006, AtlasCare moved to a brand new 20,000 sq ft facility on the
Mississauga/Oakville border. As the company celebrates over 75
years in the industry, AtlasCare remains poised for continued
growth and opportunity.
"Much like Harry Bach did 75 years ago, we intend to stay at the
forefront of our industry and to bring our customers responsible,
intelligent, innovative solutions that will ensure good health,
safety, and comfort," says Roger.
