About the Owner
Tom Kime, a dedicated family man and a successful businessman, graduated from Auburn University with a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. Afterward, Tom began his career in the heating and air conditioning industry by calling on commercial HVAC dealers in Atlanta and in California. In 1977, he returned to his hometown of Birmingham and joined Standard Heating, Cooling & Plumbing as a salesman working with homeowners, business owners, contractors, and architects to provide efficient and comfortable HVAC systems for homes and businesses.
Today, Standard Heating & Air Conditioning is a Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer. Tom is a long-time board member of the Better Business Bureau and the Subcontractors Association of Alabama. He had received in the Carrier Dealer Hall of Fame in 2012. Throughout all of these years, he is still as excited and motivated as ever toward providing great service and using top-tier products throughout Birmingham and surrounding areas.
In 2005, Tom’s youngest son, Tyler, joined the Standard team. After working in several departments within the company, Tyler became General Manager in 2016. Tyler is passionate about the industry and improving the company for the future.
