NEW YORK, September 1, 2024 – Inc. has revealed that SUNSHINE AIR CONDITIONING ranks No. 2169 on the 2024 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. Sunshine’s rankings in other categories are: #38th in Consumer Services and #242nd in Florida.
“We are honored to be recognized alongside such great organizations on the Inc. 5000 list,” said Kelly Harvey, President of Sunshine Air Conditioning. “It serves as a testament of our unwavering dedication to fulfilling our vision – delivering the best experience for our customers at every interaction. In doing so, we feel our customers and partners have rewarded us with sustainable growth opportunities. With that said, I am proud to be surrounded by a leadership team that recognizes these opportunities and leads the company to take care of our customers, our employees, and the company daily.”
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. All 5000 companies are featured on Inc.com starting Tuesday, August 13, and the top 500 appear in the new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 20.
“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”
“Our goal of providing the best customer experience at every interaction begins with customers giving us the opportunity,” said Kelly Harvey, President of Sunshine Air Conditioning. “I feel this achievement (ranking on the Inc. 5000 list) highlights our ability to deliver on that promise, and the market has rewarded us for doing the right thing. We are greatly appreciative, and we look forward to many more years of providing sustainability to our employees and our customers.”

More about Inc. and the Inc. 5000
Methodology
Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
