Tom Corcoran built this company from the ground up 30 years ago, and his tenacity and dedication run through the veins of our enterprise. After a stint as a wild child of the ‘70s, and failing to make his collegiate hockey team, Tom came to realize that college wasn't for him.
Tom has always been mechanically inclined; he pursued technical college and then began learning about the heating and air conditioning. While working for a contractor, he blew stuff up, broke some things, and was schooled by the college of hard knocks. Armed with 5 years of field experience he started working out of his garage and repairing people's systems.
In his early days, Tom held to a code of completing a project in only one visit, no matter how long it took. Each customer's time and satisfaction was valued-and while he may have spent many long hours swearing, banging, and bleeding, he ended every day knowing that his customers could enjoy their comfort.
Corcoran Heating started in 1983 when a younger Tom Corcoran decided that he could not be an employee any longer if he wanted to be truly happy. This is the same thought process that many of the top entrepreneurs will tell you if you just ask. He started this company with a truck and a dream. In the beginning it was up to him to get his name out there by fixing equipment in the area around his house, and showing people his talents and commitments.
From there his abilities to fix about any problem people where having quickly spread his reach and boundaries. Up until about 6 years ago Tom was in a truck full time running calls and trying to stay on top of his business. With the help of his wife and addition of employees throughout the years he was able to establish a successful and hard working company. A company that has been servicing the Chicagoland Area since 1983.
Today, you can find Tom doing a variety of jobs around the shop and still even in the truck. His reach allows him to stay on top of the quality control aspects, and keeping this company on the track for the future. Stepping into the true business management position has allowed him to expand his abilities and the abilities of his company. A large investment in continual education has brought his company from just a heating and air conditioning company into something that is not common in the industry.

Tom's our newest employee - he joined our crew in May of 2013. Although most of his responsibilities are in the service end of the business, with his seventeen years of experience as well as technical training from ETI (Environmental Technical Institute), he is also well qualified to do installation work. Tom grew up on the far northwest side in an area defined by its Catholic parishes. His was St. Tarsissus. When he learned that the Corcoran's hailed from nearby arch-rival St. Thecla, he couldn't help but rub in that the St. Tar's grammar school football team, for which he played, beat them soundly and frequently. He also teased anyone from the northwest suburbs by telling them that despite Buffalo Grove's squad of sixty, not including the concession stands and marching bands that accompanied them (compared to the "Tar's" terror squad of sixteen along with their mom's stashes of cupcakes and coolers of juice) ran THEM off the field, as well. We hired him anyway. Besides football, Tom did the usual grammar school saint as a Boy Scout before he went on to Taft High School. Monica Leveck, his wife, as well as their bird, Butch, currently live on the north side of Chicago in the Portage Park neighborhood. Monica is a secretary for a firm which manufactures X-Ray equipment for veterinarians. When they're not working, they enjoy eating out, or combining that with catching a movie. Tom's also very artistic, and a dreamer who enjoys writing fairy tales in his spare time. Tom's already participated in some ongoing training, and just recently completed two more classes in combustion. He's talkative and personal - we think you'll like having him around as much as we do.
