Please join us in honoring our commercial installer, Alex Alhomsi!

Alex has worked with Air Masters of Tampa Bay for 2 years now, and continues to impress his colleagues and our customers daily.

He spends most of his days climbing on rooftops, installing 40 to 60- ton split units, often using heavy cranes and lifts to get the most difficult and precise commercial A/C installations done right.

"You have to have a good work ethic , a lot of training, common sense, and you have to be smart. I just love to work," Alex says. He joined Air Masters of Tampa Bay's team, following in the footsteps of his brother Anthony, a service tech for Air Masters.

"I gained a love for this profession, I love what I do every day I wake up.

No one can live without air… Giving people that cool air when they really need it, that is such a blessing.

My goal every day is to give our customers my absolute best. When we are called out to a big job, and other companies couldn't get the job done, we get them up and running. We are so good at identifying the problem and getting the A/C back up and working again. It's a high, it's overwhelming, it's such a joy to be able to do that for people!"

Alex says he loves working for Air Masters of Tampa Bay because management fosters such a family atmosphere. "I feel like I belong here. They listen, they work with us if there is an issue. We work together to help the customers.

We give them our all, we go above and beyond."

Alex loves to spend time with friends in his spare time. He is an avid rollerblader and skates the Riverwalk in downtown Tampa.

We are celebrating one of our newest and brightest employees, Ryan Humphreys! Ryan has been with us for 3 months, and in that short time, has managed to help make hundreds of our customers happy!

Ryan is one of our main phone receptionists. He is often the first point of contact between someone needing relief from the intense heat and a cold A/C rescue.

"I started working here right at the start of summer, so we are REALLY busy. Everyone is calling us with an A/C issue or problem. They need help fast. They are hot, upset and stressed and my job is to calm them and get them the help they need, "Ryan says. "That's my strength— I treat them with kindness. I'm a quick thinker, a problem-solver, and my goal with each customer is to make them happy by getting them to the right person to talk to to fix their issue.

Maintenance and Customer Service Manager, Marilyn Mack says, "Ryan is coachable, has a strong work ethic, and is a definite team player, helping wherever he can. I'm super glad that he's a part of our Air Masters family."

The family atmosphere and teamwork is what Ryan loves so much about working with Air Masters of Tampa Bay. "Everyone here is so helpful and understanding. This is such a great A/C company because we all care and we are all so dedicated to resolving customers issues quickly, just look at the reviews! It makes me feel so good to work here!"
