Felix Blanco | Founder & Operator

"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

I’m the founder of Mr Cool Depot. After years of working with these systems, I realized that what DIYers need most isn't just a box—it’s a partnership. I’m intimately familiar with MRCOOL® configurations and sizing, and I’ve built this business to ensure you get the exact system your home requires.

My philosophy is simple: Always remain a student. Whether I’m helping you calculate BTUs or refining our shipping logistics, I’m committed to providing the highest level of professional guidance.

Creative Discipline & Grit

Music has been my foundation for 18 years. I spent a decade as a "hired gun" guitarist and toured full-time for three years—a journey that taught me the discipline required to master a craft. Today, I bring that same technical precision to HVAC layouts and design. When I’m not at the Depot, I’m focused on songwriting and playing with southern-rock band, Ramblin Suns.

My journey hasn't been a straight line. By the grace of God, I’ve conquered a battle with addiction, and today I am taking my life back—one day and one swing of the hammer at a time. This business is a reflection of that sobriety: it is built on honesty, resilience, and a genuine desire to help others improve their lives and homes.

I’m heavily invested in my businesses and hobbies, so I don't go out often—but when I do, you'll find me at Robert’s Western World or Printers Alley catching a set, or grabbing a bite at Dino's, Sam's Sports Grill, or Steam Boys. I value the grit of contractors and the curiosity of builders. Let’s build something better together.
