Who We Are
A Rich 70+ Year History
Sound Refrigeration & Air Conditioning was established in New York, on September 13, 1947. Cosmos Marentis built the business by specializing in HVAC service and installations for the banking industry with special emphasis on computer rooms and trading floors. In 1990, Cosmos retired as President of Sound A/C and was succeeded by Steven Marentis/President, Robert Gulmi/Vice President of Construction, Richard Stankiewicz/Vice President of Service and John Stamm/Director of Operations.
Today we continue the trend of doing business with banking and financial institutions in addition to the entertainment, hospital, retail, telecommunications and other industries. In 2017, Steven Marentis retired as President and has been succeeded by Robert Gulmi, who will continue in the tradition of growing and expanding the company as we continue to innovate beyond our 70th anniversary.
We are authorized dealers for Liebert, Carrier, Trane and York equipment and our service mechanics are routinely updated on servicing information from these and other manufacturers. In addition, all apprentices are enrolled in the Local 638 four year Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Training Program.
