Terrence McDowell

Founder/Owner

Terry grew up in Seattle, where he started working for his father’s HVAC company while he was still in high school. He moved to Hood River in 1986 to pursue his passion for windsurfing. After several years of working in the sporting industry, he decided to get back into the trade he learned from his father growing up. With the help and guidance of his father, he started McDowell & Son in 1996.

Craig McDowell

Founder

Years with McDowell & Son: Craig is no longer with us but he played a huge role in the start-up of McDowell & Son.

He had worked in the HVAC industry for over 30 years as well as owned and operated his own HVAC company in Seattle. After he retired he moved to Hood River and helped his son to start McDowell & Son.

We are forever grateful for the trade and skills he passed down to our family. He will be missed.
