Our History
Skil-aire was originally founded in 1979 to develop a market niche for ceiling-mounted airconditioners that could be installed completely indoors. Skil-aire developed the world’s first specialty ceiling-mounted air conditioners that had the ability to be separated in the field without the loss of refrigerant charge, and could be installed with the evaporator up to150 equivalent feet from the condensing unit. This design feature allowed for the installation of long runs of relatively inexpensive refrigerant lines in lieu of the standard, more expensive duct runs. In addition, contractors appreciated the product’s quality and its ability to fit virtually any unit through the standard 30-inch door opening. Soon Skil-aire became synonymous with ceiling-mounted packaged yet split-able equipment in the HVAC world.
In the mid-1980s, Skil-aire broadened its product offerings, adding internal controls and accessories to meet the growing need for close tolerance environmental control systems of the technology and telecommunications industries. The company also began developing customized equipment for many specific applications, and utilizing new technologies like 134A refrigerants and explosion proof sensors for hazardous environments.
Skil-aire was purchased by Tithe Corp. 1990, and moved its headquarters to Baltimore in 1992. Skil-aire has continued to grow and innovate, while improving its distribution channels and strengthening its customer relationships. Since1990, the company has expanded its network of sales representatives and affiliate offices throughout the country. Through its 400 experienced sales and applications consultants and 127 affiliate offices, Skil-aire supplies contractors nationwide with its innovative products. The company’s ideal location in the heart of Baltimore’s historic Washington Village section, just steps from the Raven’s M&T Bank Stadium, Camden Yards and the New Horseshoe Casino, provides easy access to I-95, the hub of major traffic routes; allowing next-day product delivery to most major east coast markets.
