From Fukuoka: Expanding the Choice to Directly Consult Trusted Technicians for Aircon Installation. Marble Style Strengthens Recruitment Starting June 15, 2026

Marble Style (headquartered in Nakagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture; representative: Takeshi Shiramizu), which handles air conditioning installation, aircon cleaning, antenna installation, and various electrical works, will strengthen its recruitment efforts starting June 15, 2026, due to business expansion.

Marble Style Strengthens Recruitment

This recruitment targets a wide range of personnel and partners, including those with no experience who want to acquire skilled trades, those aiming for future independence, self-employed individuals ready to join on-site work immediately, and partner companies seeking temporary support during peak seasons or ongoing collaboration. Currently covering all of Fukuoka Prefecture, the company is particularly enhancing services in areas around Nakagawa City, Iizuka City, and Kurume City, with future plans to expand its network across Kyushu and eventually nationwide.

The background for this recruitment drive goes beyond simply addressing labor shortages—it reflects the growing recognition of heat mitigation as a critical infrastructure issue in daily life. In Fukuoka City, residents are encouraged to use air conditioners and fans appropriately to prevent heatstroke, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a comfortable indoor environment without resorting to excessive energy-saving measures. Additionally, the Japan Meteorological Agency has reported a long-term trend of increasing numbers of extremely hot days annually. Air conditioners are now not just for comfort but have become essential household equipment for protecting lives and health.

Furthermore, the environment surrounding home air conditioning systems is changing. The Agency for Natural Resources and Energy has announced that new energy efficiency standards for household air conditioners will take effect from April 2027, with some manufacturers indicating potential price increases for units. Under these circumstances, the importance of not only “how to choose the unit” but also “who to hire for installation” is expected to grow significantly for consumers.

Currently, channels for aircon installation orders are diversifying—jobs are being distributed through various means such as retail stores, online shopping, referral services, matching platforms, and other digital channels. However, despite ongoing increases in material costs, there are cases where on-site labor rates are not adequately revised, and market structures often prioritize price competition. Against this backdrop, Marble Style emphasizes creating an environment where customers, while comparing unit prices, can confidently entrust installation work to trusted professionals after fully understanding the scope and cost in advance.

While air conditioner units are easily comparable products, installation is a service where satisfaction depends on factors such as on-site work quality, clear explanations, and post-installation support. Therefore, the company believes it's not enough to be chosen solely for low prices; factors like “who will come,” “what kind of explanation will be provided,” and “whether the customer feels confident in hiring” are crucial. The company is building systems—via its website and official LINE account—that make it easy to have face-to-face consultations, from pre-installation discussions to post-service follow-ups.

■ Strengthening Training and Independence Support for Entry-Level Workers

A key feature of Marble Style is its business expansion model built on training people. The representative, Takeshi Shiramizu, entered the industry with no prior experience and gained on-site experience before becoming independent. Drawing from this background, the company focuses on understanding where beginners typically struggle and how to train them efficiently to become productive quickly.

At Marble Style, trainees learn air conditioning installation, aircon cleaning, antenna installation, and various electrical works through hands-on training, aiming to master basic installation techniques within about one month. Afterward, they gradually improve their work speed and ability to handle complex situations. For jobs requiring certifications, such as outlet replacement, the company supports trainees by collaborating with certified technicians and helping them gain experience toward future certification.

Moreover, the company does not aim to monopolize talent but actively supports independence. It welcomes not only those who wish to work as employees but also those who want to start immediately as self-employed individuals. To date, over 10 self-employed technicians have successfully launched their own businesses with support from Marble Style, and the company currently supports seven independent contractors and partner firms. Even after independence, the company maintains a collaborative network where work is shared during busy periods, contributing to stable local service capacity.

Strengthening training and independence support for inexperienced individuals

■ The Origin of the Company: Independence to Protect Others

Representative Takeshi Shiramizu began his career in air conditioning installation with no prior knowledge or qualifications. Through training and on-site experience, he became independent and eventually took on a role in training others. However, the company he was then affiliated with faced a crisis when its owner could no longer pay salaries. At a time just before the birth of his first daughter, Shiramizu made the decision to take on debt and become independent to protect his colleagues and cover material costs.

After independence, he spent days desperately taking over jobs left behind by departing workers and filling gaps in on-site operations. Through these experiences, he honed his technical skills and built trust, gradually earning customer feedback such as “easy to request work from,” “chosen based on the person,” and “post-installation support is reliable.” These experiences laid the foundation for today’s Marble Style.

■ Message from Takeshi Shiramizu, Representative of Marble Style

"What we aim for is to transform installation services from something merely 'ordered' into something customers can consult with confidence. Just as people have a trusted family doctor or a favorite hair salon, we want every household to have a 'trusted electrician' they can easily consult about home electrical matters. We hope to foster such relationships within local communities.

Because I started this job with no experience, I deeply understand the importance of training people. Going forward, I want to increase the number of trustworthy installation options in Fukuoka and expand them across Kyushu and nationwide."

■ Future Outlook

Moving forward, Marble Style will further enhance its service capacity across Fukuoka Prefecture while strengthening consultation channels via LINE and online platforms. Through air conditioning installation, aircon cleaning, antenna installation, and various electrical works, the company aims to strengthen its role as a trusted “local consultation hub” supporting community electrical infrastructure.

In the future, the company plans to expand its network of partner companies and technicians from Fukuoka across Kyushu and nationwide, contributing to an industry where trusted technicians can directly connect with customers.
