History

Established in 1908.

As the oldest heating and ventilating company in the Bay Area, Atlas has been as much a part of San Francisco as the cable cars and Golden Gate Bridge, helping to rebuild the City after the 1906 earthquake.

The history of Atlas is a veritable history of the furnace itself. In 1908, most homes were heated by pot-​bellied stoves or kitchen ranges. George Tuck, the founder of Atlas, designed and manufactured wood and coal furnaces, establishing Atlas as the largest installer of «warm air» furnaces in the Bay Area. Always an innovator, Tuck next developed the Atlas gas furnace for manufactured gas, the first integrated blower furnace and a safety pilot light. With the advent of natural gas, the firm’s all steel furnace became a leader in the industry.

The family-​run business has continued to prosper guided by three generations of Tucks. The founder’s son, Robert G. Tuck ran the company for 30 years with brothers Douglas and James. Bob Tuck, grandson of George, is now president of Atlas.
