The dream began in a small cinder-block building in the 1940’s. A small boy watched as his father built the building and then compiled materials needed to begin his own refrigeration business. The boy was William (Bill) Tate, and it was his father Paul that inspired the dream to continue in Bill.
Paul had graduated in the early 1940's from the Chicago School of Engineering. Soon after graduating Paul was drafted into the war, and his dream was put on hold. When he returned, he built the small cinder-block building and began getting ready to open his business. Everything was ready to start when tragedy struck. Paul suddenly fell ill and passed away. Bill was determined to carry on his father's dream...
By 1969 Bill had completed his studies at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and had earned additional certificates in hvac.
He was ready to open his own business. He named it United Air Products. He liked the team work and American patriotism that the name "United" symbolized. It was in these early days of United Air Products that Bill was an original founder of the Chattanooga American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Chapter. In the spirit of hard work and determination, he built United Air Products into...
He decided it was now time to go to the next level and fulfill the dream. He formed United Enertech Corporation in 1988.
Now Bill was finally in his element. The engineering side of him was able to come out. In 1991 Bill was awarded Inventor of the Year by the Chattanooga Engineers Club for the patented personalized control system, Private Aire. United Enertech manufactured this wireless remote controlled temperature zone control system until the patent was sold.
In 1998, Bill sold United Air Products to focus all of his energy on United Enertech. It was at this time that United Enertech began to thrive. The company moved to a larger facility and began making its mark in the industry. The facilities have been expanded three times since 1998 to keep up with the company's growth.
In 2008, United Enertech adds a full line of UL Listed Life Safety products to the company's range of products.
In 2016, United Enertech was acquired by DalFort Capital and became the flagship company of United Enertech Holdings.
From 2017 to 2020, United Enertech acquires several industry leading companies and becomes a full family of brands including Air Conditioning Products LLC (ACP), Air Performance LLC, Evergreen UV/Lumalier, Metal Form Manufacturing LLC, and United Enertech.
In 2024, Soler and Palau Ventilation Group (S&P) acquired the United Enertech Holdings group of companies, including Air Conditioning Products, Air Performance, Metal Form Manufacturing, and United Enertech. While the individual company names remain the same, collectively, the group is now known as S&P Air Control.
