Fred Canady - President/ Owner
Fred Canady was born and reared in Chatham County. “My first business venture was selling seeds. I must have been 7 or 8 years old. I ordered this big box of flower and vegetable seeds from an ad in the back of a magazine. I sold seeds door to door. My mom had to end up paying for the seeds. I think it must have been the wrong time of the year to sell seeds.” Fred’s interest in the air conditioning started early. As a freshman in high school Fred built and entered a solar heated home in the local science fair.

After graduating from Savannah Christian School in 1979 Fred worked in the field as an apprentice and attended night school. In 1981 Fred graduated from Savannah Technical College. Fred worked as the service manager at one Savannah's larger companies before leaving to start his own company.

In 1986 Fred opened Precision Air “We had just moved into our first home. I was 26 and my wife was pregnant with our first child. I just quit my job and started the business.” I worked 24/7. I don’t think we took a vacation for 5 years.” The primary focus in the early years was residential new construction. “My garage was my shop and my truck was my office on wheels.” After a couple of years the company had outgrown the garage, Fred rented a warehouse on the southwest side of savannah. In 1997 construction was completed on the present day warehouse and office complex in Richmond Hill. The company had grown to more than 20 employees and was performing a mix of residential new construction, commercial new construction and service. In 1998 Fred decided he had had enough of the new construction side of the business. He changed the name of the company to “Canady’s” and downsized the company. “We just couldn’t compete in residential new construction work. It wouldn’t allow us to use quality material, provide good pay and benefits for our employees and make a profit.” I had to get back to what I loved; service and replacement.” Fred changed the direction of the company and never looked back.” Life and business is all about doing the best you can for others; our family, our coworkers and our customers. That’s what drives me.”!
