Jason Martens
Owner and CEO

Jason Martens

I am the second generation at Martens Heating & Cooling. Growing up on job sites with my father instilled in me a deep understanding of the industry from a young age. He taught me the value of integrity and the importance of getting things right the first time. I believe honesty is the cornerstone of success in business, and that respect is earned through accountability and follow-through. In my role, I focus on estimating, project planning, customer meetings, overflow service, and sheet metal fabrication. Outside of work, I cherish moments with my amazing wife and our three boys, whether we’re gathered around a campfire or enjoying time on the lake.

As the General Manager, I oversee a variety of operations, with a focus on driving business growth and operational efficiency. I engage with customers in many ways including scheduling appointments, preparing estimates and bids, and discussing recommendations on various products and services. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children.

I grew up in the restaurant and bar business, where I enjoyed interacting with people, but my real passion was always in working on mechanical things and understanding how they operate. This curiosity led me to explore a career in HVAC, which has been the perfect combination of customer interaction and hands-on mechanical work. Joining this field has been a fantastic career move, offering endless opportunities to meet great people and learn new skills. I genuinely enjoy staying updated on the equipment and products we offer, as it allows me to share valuable insights with our customers, helping them make informed choices for their home comfort needs. My goal is to ensure that every job we complete leaves our customers confident in Martens Heating & Cooling’s dedication to their comfort. And if you need anything beyond heating and cooling, I know a guy who can help!

I began my career in telecommunications, spending 16 years in the field before transitioning to HVAC in 2018. Eager to learn a new trade and cut back on travel, I immersed myself in HVAC and have been dedicated to growing my expertise ever since. I take pride in solving customer challenges and appreciate working for a small company that values employee input over profit margins. In the HVAC field, I’ve gained experience across various areas, but my strengths and passion lie in service and customer relations. There’s nothing more fulfilling than knowing I’ve delivered the best possible outcome for a customer. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing golf, traveling, and savoring the occasional glass of bourbon.
