Woods Family • Texas HVAC
The story of Woods Comfort Systems doesn’t start with a business plan or a marketing strategy. It starts with a man who understood air conditioning from the inside out — C.A. Woods Jr., an engineer with Bryant Air Conditioning in Tyler, Texas, who founded C. Woods Company in 1956. From the very beginning, the Woods name meant something: technical expertise, honest work, and a commitment to keeping Texas families comfortable.
In 1978, his son, C.A. “Carey” Woods III, returned home after serving in the United States Navy. Rather than stepping directly into his father’s business, Carey charted his own course — purchasing J.P. Morrow Company, a full-service heating and air conditioning company in Alice, Texas. For 20 years, Carey built his own reputation in South Texas: the same values, the same work ethic, a different market.
When it was time to sell the Alice business and return to Tyler, Carey came back to what he knew best — taking over C. Woods Company from his retiring father and continuing a tradition that had already spanned more than four decades.
In April of 2008, Carey sold the Tyler operation to his employees, with plans to retire to Central Texas. But as anyone who’s spent a lifetime in this industry knows: “with freon in his veins, retirement was not to be.”
Carey Woods opened Woods Comfort Systems in Central Texas — and just like that, the region had a name it could trust. Not a franchise. Not a chain. A family.
In October of 2010, Christopher Alan Woods — a Texas State University alumnus who grew up watching his father and grandfather build this legacy — returned to the San Marcos area and took over the company from his retiring father, Carey. The tradition continues.
Purchases J.P. Morrow Company in Alice, TX — a full-service heating and air conditioning company. Builds his own reputation over 20 years in South Texas.
Sells the Alice business and takes over C. Woods Company from his retiring father. Two generations, one name, one standard.
With plans to retire, Carey discovers that “freon in his veins” doesn’t retire. He opens Woods Comfort Systems — and Central Texas finds a name it can trust.
Texas State University alumnus Christopher Woods returns to San Marcos to carry on the family tradition. The third generation steps up.
