Spotlight: Korrect Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning, Inc. Q: Korrect Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning was founded in Dayton in 1950. When did you start serving the Troy community? A: Believe it or not, Korrect has been working in Troy since I’ve been involved with the company – so for more than 20 years – primarily for commercial customers with multiple locations in the area like Speedway, and several restaurant chains. We also work with Troy Schools and Hobart. In 2022 we decided to be more intentional in getting the word out that we serve the communities north of Dayton – including Troy. We leased a small office space on Cherry St. that helps potential customers find us as a contractor in the Troy area. Troy continues to grow in both the residential and commercial markets and we believe it’s a great area for us to focus on.
Q: What was your mission at the start of your business? How does that compare to your mission now? A: Our mission statement has changed and adapted over the last 75 years, but the basis of our mission hasn’t changed. Our focus is on making a positive impact on people. As a company built and run on Christian principals - we truly care and value our team and their families, our customers, our vendors, and the community. The golden rule found in Matthew 7:12 says “In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…”. We take that seriously and it’s the core philosophy of our company.
Q: How many employees does your business have? A: We currently have 86 team members.
Q: Your team members have volunteered with many local businesses in the community. How did this get started, and can you tell me more about it? A: Giving back to the community started as a priority for my grandfather - Ivan Patterson. He is one of the most generous people I’ve ever known. His personal priority became the priority for future generations, and for our company. Each year we look for opportunities for our team to use the talents and skills they have to help others. This year we worked with Habitat for Humanity in Dayton on a couple houses, and we sent 8 team members to Dawson Springs, KY through the Brethren Disaster Relief organization to work on 6 more houses. We are also volunteer labor and providing material for the Victory Project building that is being renovated. In addition to projects that we volunteer for, we financially support several other local non-profit and ministry organizations.
