About Clausen Companies

Our History

Established in 1957 by Harold Clausen, Clausen Companies is dedicated to providing quality products and services in a conscientious, professional manner. With only $300 of capital and three employees, Harold laid the foundation for the company to succeed. A small sheet metal shop for hand fabricating HVAC ductwork fittings and parts and selling Premier brand furnaces began the Clausen Companies legacy.

 Now, more than 60 years since inception, the company boasts two successful divisions of operation and a workforce in excess of 120 employees. Maintaining the strong work ethic and values of years past, Clausen Companies has succeeded by holding in highest regard the needs of its customers, employees, and suppliers.
