The name C.A.W. stands for Carey Arthur Woods IV - the fourth generation that is. Chip Woods is a third generation Air Conditioning Contractor in the family. Some 60 years ago Chip's grandfather, Carey Woods Jr., left the position as Design Engineer at Bryant Air Conditioning in Tyler, Texas and founded C. Woods Company in Tyler. When Chip's dad, Carey Woods III, returned from serving our country in the Navy in 1977, he purchased JP Morrow, a full service heating and a/c company, in Alice, Texas. Chip's dad owned and operated JP Morrow for over 20 years before selling it to return to Tyler and take over C. Woods Company from his retiring father. You could say that the Woods family has air conditioning in their genes. Chip Woods graduated from Texas A&M in Kingsville with a bachelors degree in 1993. He obtained his TACLA license and went into business for himself in 1995 at age 25 and has been operating as C.A.W. Company, Inc. since then.
