Charles D Jones CO

Charles D. Jones Co. has supplied the HVAC industry since 1939, when founder Charlie Jones opened as one of the nation's first wholesale heating supply distributors in Kansas City. Today the employee-owned company operates across Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, with a Fort Collins location serving northern Colorado contractors. The wholesaler holds a 4.4-star average across 17 reviews and maintains weekday hours from 7 AM to 4:30 PM. As a wholesale distributor, the company serves licensed HVAC contractors rather than homeowners directly, providing equipment, parts, and accessories for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

What distinguishes Charles D. Jones is their depth of inventory and technical expertise in specialized components. The distributor stocks more than 10,000 line items from major manufacturers, including Sporlan thermostatic expansion valves and other niche refrigeration parts that other suppliers often cannot source. Their training programs provide hands-on education for contractors looking to expand their skills. The company operates multiple branches throughout Colorado and the Midwest, allowing them to fulfill orders and provide technical support across a multi-state region.

Reviewers consistently name specific technicians who have saved the day. Chris receives repeated praise for his expertise with Sporlan valves, with one reviewer calling him "the God" of that specific component. David Atwood notes they were "the only place in town" that had a needed tool. Another customer describes the staff as knowledgeable and helpful, highlighting the counter team's ability to locate hard-to-find parts. A single 1-star review cites an early closure and unanswered phones, but the overwhelming majority praise the counter staff's product knowledge and the company's ability to source specialty items other distributors cannot match.
