Greg Alvis, Service Technician for Damuth Trane’s Peninsula City Team will officially retire as of August 30th. Greg has been working in the HVAC industry since 1990, coming to Damuth Trane in 1996 after previously working alongside some of Damuth’s technicians while he was employed by Johnson Controls and Sentara Hampton General Hospital. Originally starting out as an Entry Level Technician, Greg quickly moved into his Service Technician role within the first year where he has remained ever since.
Service Technicians at Damuth Trane are responsible for operating, repairing, and maintaining a variety of equipment, from chilled water systems to computerized building management systems and everything in between. With safety being the top priority for all Damuth Trane’s field technicians, they are required to undergo many safety trainings and ensure proper procedures are being followed while both in and out of the field. Over the past 28 years with the company, Greg went through countless training courses and received several certifications to maintain his knowledge and skillset as a Service Technician.
Keith Lambert, City Service Team Leader said of Greg: “Greg is a very knowledgeable service technician who was passionate about providing his clients with the 5-Star Experience. He has been a great mentor to many other techs throughout his career, and, was always willing to go above & beyond to help others and to accomplish the task at hand. He will be missed! Congrats Greg!”
Greg and his wife Karen have been married for over 36 years and reside in Hampton, Virginia. They have three adult children together and three grandchildren. His plans for retirement include moving to their beach house in the Outer Banks where he can enjoy more of his hobbies such as water skiing, kite boarding, and saltwater fishing. When discussing his retirement, Greg expressed, “This is a company that always strives to take care of their people and they’ve taken care of me very well. I’ve always appreciated the opportunities that they have given me. There isn’t another HVAC Company out there better than Damuth Trane!”
