In 1947, when Katy was little more than miles of boiling blue skies, rippling prairie grass, and a smattering of houses, a group of citizens gathered to create the Katy Volunteer Fire Department. They had obstacles to overcome…no equipment, no building, and no funding. A few years later, R.G. Fussell, the newly-elected fire chief, and other fire department members threw a fundraiser in the Katy School auditorium. It seemed as though all of Katy came out that day in 1953, and the people gave money not just for a fledgling fire department, but for a dream–to carve a bonafide Texas community out of that hard caliche soil–and to bestow upon it all the resources it needed to protect its citizenry. Over three thousand dollars were raised, and a year later a new fire department building was erected on Second Street.

In 1983, ground was broken for the present day station on Avenue D…and Katy was starting to come into its own. Katy dropped the word “volunteer” from the department head logo in 2009 because most of its members were paid professionals. The department had proven itself more than capable of handling emergency medical situations, fire suppression, and hazardous waste spills. It had literally taken blood, sweat and tears…but to the delight of all the grateful citizens of Katy, the good guys had finally made good. Few people are more delighted to honor the brave men and women of the Katy Fire Department than True Fix Air Conditioning.

Like the Katy Fire Department, air conditioning has evolved into a well-oiled machine. True Fix owner Gerald Svetlik says, “The new Trane TruComfort™ systems are as innovative as they are reliable. They run at the exact speed necessary to keep your home comfortable. The unit is whisper quiet, removes humidity, and consumes a lot less electricity than the energy-guzzlers of the past…and an additional option, you can control the system from anywhere with your smartphone. Trane has an optional 10-year worry-free parts and labor warranty. Add in the rebates from CenterPoint on high-efficiency systems…and it’s easy to lower your energy bills and stay out of the fiery heat for the remainder of the summer!”

“August in Texas is no laughing matter,” continues Gerald. “If your air conditioning goes out, you might feel like you need to call the fire department…but you can call us here at True Fix.”

The True Fix family would like to extend a huge “Thank You!”to the Katy Fire Department for their continued protection in the city of Katy, and also to the citizens of Katy for trusting True Fix with their cooling needs for over 40 years.

A member of the Katy Chamber of Commerce, BBB “Winner of Distinction,” EPA and NATE certified, True Fix is also proud to be the oldest independent Trane Comfort Specialist Dealer in Katy.
