Jay Baars

With over 40 years of experience rooted in the plumbing and HVACR industry, Jay Baars stands as a pillar of expertise and innovation. His journey began alongside his father and grandfather, where he learned the craft in their family-owned plumbing and heating company. Jay’s commitment to mastering his trade took him to the prestigious Dunwoody College of Technology, where he honed his skills, and later to the Minneapolis Local 539, where he worked as a union pipefitter for 12 years.

His passion for hydronics and heating systems has defined his career for nearly two decades as a manufacturers’ representative. Jay brings an unmatched depth of knowledge and solutions-driven expertise to FourMation Sales, making him the go-to for contractors looking to solve complex HVAC challenges. His collection of multiple master licenses in Minneapolis and St. Paul, a high-pressure piping master’s license, and a limited low-voltage license for Minnesota reflect his unparalleled commitment to his craft.

Outside the world of pipes and pressure gauges, Jay’s life is a testament to balance. An outdoor enthusiast, he spends his free time with family, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and boating—embracing the same passion and dedication that defines his professional life.
