Economic Development
Operating in Pennsylvania’s 4th largest city and 9th most populated county, we are dedicated to contributing responsibly to the growth of our region. Our approach to economic development involves meeting community needs in housing, industry, and infrastructure while preserving the area’s unique character.

Additionally, as a Planning Commissioner for Maidencreek Township, he plays a key role in overseeing urban planning and promoting responsible development within one of Berks County’s largest townships.
Youth Advocacy
Supporting our local youth is central to our mission. We believe that every child, regardless of background, deserves opportunities to grow and thrive. Through partnerships and sponsorships, we help young people access resources that encourage them to become positive, productive members of society.
Our support of Olivet Boys & Girls Club allows us to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children and families in Reading and Berks County. Olivet offers athletics, after-school programming, summer camps, and more. Chad Milligan’s own experiences as a ‘Club kid’ inspire our commitment to youth advocacy, and Gavin is a key advisor to Olivet, serving as a member of the Development, Marketing, and Event Committee.
Education & Workforce Development
Investing in the next generation of the workforce, especially within the HVAC industry, is essential to our community’s continued success. We believe in empowering students to pursue fulfilling, high-demand careers by providing guidance, resources, and real-world experience.
Our team is deeply involved with Berks Career & Technology Center (BCTC) and Berks Technical Institute (BTI), where we focus on improving and expanding access to HVAC education. Gavin Milligan serves as the Board President of the BCTC Education Foundation, collaborating with both private and government entities to secure funding for program improvements and scholarships. As Chair of the HVAC program’s Occupational Advisory Committee, he works with the instructor and fellow industry leaders to oversee the budget, update the curriculum, and ensure the program aligns with current workforce demands and safety standards.
Through these partnerships, Advanced Comfort Specialists is committed to building a stronger, more resilient community. We’re grateful to serve and support the organizations and individuals who make our community thrive.
