KELLY HERNANDEZ - President / Owner

Kelly has been in the HVAC trade for over 37 years. She spent 24+ years at an HVAC business in Vista, CA where she learned her trade and rose through the ranks, from Office Manager to Operations Manager, and finally to Service Manager for their large service department. She then joined another HVAC business in Escondido, CA where she also served as their Service Manager for 6+ years.

Kelly then had the opportunity of a lifetime – to purchase Air Crafts Heating & Air Conditioning from the original owner in June of 2016. She jumped at the chance and has never been happier.

Kelly is very active in the community. She is the Board Member for Valley Center Business Association, Vice President of the Valley Center High School Foundation, and Vista and Valley Center of Chamber’s member.
