Company History

Erkies traces its roots to trades passed down from Italy to Cleveland, and then west to Palm Springs in 1986. The name honors Eugene Difranco, known locally as Erkie, who worked as a tradesman and set a hands-on example. The business grew slowly and kept a focus on practical skill. Over time it added electrical and plumbing to its heating work and began serving more of the Coachella Valley.

Dane leads the company today. He began working with his father in 1994 and learned electrical, heating, and air conditioning firsthand. Dane remains based in the valley, working in the community and taking calls any time of day.
