Rube’s Inc., a family-owned heating and air conditioning company serving central Kansas, has been recognized as a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Elite Contractor, one of the highest distinctions awarded to contractors within the Mitsubishi Electric Heating & Cooling network.
The recognition comes following another outstanding year for the Great Bend-based company. In 2025, Rube’s achieved the largest year-over-year Mitsubishi sales growth in Kansas and finished as the second-highest Mitsubishi Electric dealer in the state.
For owners Brian and Carie Pedigo and the Rube’s team, the award reflects years of commitment to customer service, technical excellence, and ongoing professional development.
“Receiving Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Elite Contractor recognition is a tremendous honor for our entire team,” said Pedigo. “We are committed to providing the highest level of comfort solutions, installation quality, and customer service for every homeowner and business we serve.”
Founded in 1933, Rube’s Inc. has been a trusted name in heating, air conditioning, and home comfort solutions throughout central Kansas for generations. Now in its third generation of family ownership, the company has built a reputation for quality workmanship, integrity, and customer satisfaction.
The Diamond Elite Contractor designation is reserved for select contractors who have demonstrated exceptional expertise in Mitsubishi Electric products, completed advanced factory training, and consistently deliver outstanding installation and service experiences. The designation recognizes contractors who represent the highest standards within the Mitsubishi Electric dealer network.
The award also reflects Rube’s continued leadership in the growing market for high-efficiency heat pump and ductless comfort systems. As more homeowners and businesses seek energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions, Mitsubishi Electric products have become a preferred choice for year-round comfort and performance.
While the company is proud of its sales accomplishments, Pedigo credits the success to the dedication of the Rube’s team and the loyalty of customers throughout the region.
“Our growth is a direct result of the trust our customers place in us every day,” Pedigo said. “We are grateful for the opportunity to continue serving central Kansas and helping our communities stay comfortable through every season.”
With nearly a century of service, record-setting growth in 2025, and recognition as a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Elite Contractor, Rube’s Inc. continues to strengthen its position as one of Kansas’ premier HVAC contractors.
