Elite Service has been serving the Tulsa community for more than 20 years, but our story entered a new chapter in April 2025 when Manas and Katie acquired the company from longtime owner Joel Kinsch. For us, acquiring Elite wasn’t about simply taking over an established HVAC company. It was about building on what had already been created while raising the standard for what our customers, employees, and community could expect from us. Joel remains an important part of Elite today.
We continue to operate under his license and his continued involvement gives us something increasingly uncommon in our industry: continuity between the company that Tulsa has known for decades and the family-owned business we’re building for the future. The journey since April 2025 hasn’t always been easy. We’ve learned some tough lessons, made changes, taken accountability when we’ve gotten things wrong, and worked tirelessly to improve nearly every part of our business. But that’s also what makes us proud of how far we’ve come, and incredibly grateful for the people who have been part of that progress.
The HVAC industry has changed considerably in recent years, including right here in Tulsa. Many longstanding local companies have been acquired and consolidated into larger organizations.
We’re taking a different path.
We are doing more than repairing an air conditioner or installing a new heating system. It means answering the phone, showing up when we say we will, communicating clearly, standing behind our work, and treating our customers’ homes and businesses with the care we’d expect in our own. We are relentless in our pursuit of quality and excellence because we don’t believe either has a finish line. There will always be something we can do better, a process we can improve, or a better experience we can create for our customers and our team. Elite is locally operated, family-owned, and led by people who have a personal stake in what we’re building. We’re owners, not renters. The decisions we make aren’t based on preparing the company for the next transaction, they’re based on building a business we’re proud to own for years to come.
That long-term mindset influences everything from how we take care of our customers to how we invest in our employees and participate in the Tulsa community. Elite has been part of Tulsa’s story for more than two decades. We’re grateful for the opportunity to carry that legacy forward, excited about what we’re building today, and committed to being here for the chapters still to come.
