Garrhs

At Garrhs, we believe great companies are built by people who care — about our customers, our team, and our community.

This week, we gathered for our Employee Appreciation Event to share breakfast, take a team photo, and recognize employees who consistently “Think Like an Owner.”

From delivering 5-star customer service, to mentoring teammates, to finding smart ways to help the company succeed — these everyday actions make a difference.

We’re proud of the team that represents Garrhs every day. Thank you for your hard work and Employee-Owned Pride. 💙

How long should your AC system last in Durango? 🤔

Most systems last 12–18 years… but mountain conditions can change that.

What impacts lifespan:
✔️ Installation quality
✔️ Maintenance (or lack of it)
✔️ Airflow & filter choice
✔️ Dust, debris, and altitude

⚠️ Poor airflow and neglected maintenance are the biggest reasons systems fail early.

If your system is over 10 years old or not performing like it used to, it may be time to take a closer look.

🍔 BBQ, bingo, and a bold idea: what if every employee could be an owner?

The Garrhs team recently came together for our first Employee Ownership BBQ — a chance to celebrate the people who make Garrhs what it is. We invited families and significant others to join us, and nearly 70 attendees filled the park with laughter, kids’ games, and the unmistakable smell of great BBQ on a perfect Colorado afternoon.

To make the day even more memorable, David Shurna led a round of “Employee Ownership & Garrhs History Bingo,” complete with prizes like Garrhs-branded gear, a gift card to a local employee-owned restaurant, and another to a locally owned fly-fishing and outdoor store — small but meaningful ways to celebrate the community and ownership values we share.

Events like this are more than just a party. They reflect the culture we’re building at Garrhs — one rooted in integrity, pride, and shared ownership. We believe that when employees have a real stake in the company’s success, everything changes. Pride grows. Commitment deepens. And together, we build a future that honors the legacy of those who came before us while creating opportunity for the next generation.

We’re proud of this team. Proud of Garrhs’ 60-year history. And excited about the ownership journey ahead.

Employee-Owned. Powered by Pride.
