Our Dayton, Ohio HVAC Team
Watkins Heating & Cooling is proud to be a local, family-owned business serving the Dayton, Ohio community for over 30 years.
HVAC services have been the family trade for three generations – Dave Watkins (grandpa) served in the Air National Guard, where he was trained in HVAC and eventually started a commercial company with his three sons.
Randy and his son David shifted their focus toward bringing incredible HVAC service to families and homeowners, and in 2001, Watkins Heating & Cooling moved into our Dayton, OH location. What began as a tiny family business has grown into a busy team of over sixty people. But you'll still see those in our Dayton office working the “Watkins Way” through compassion, integrity, and personalized customer service.
Many other A/C technicians in the industry focus their training on high-pressure sales instead of actual HVAC repair! Watkins techs are given in-house training at our Dayton location that is 100% focused on identifying potential problems with your HVAC system and mastering how to perfectly tune it to save you money. Watkins HVAC technicians are employees instead of subcontractors, meaning you’ll work with a highly-trained expert who can repair your system in no time.
We start by only hiring the most high-integrity individuals to create lasting connections with our customers. Then, our in-house trade school provides a broad spectrum of HVAC training to ensure these incredible people are equally exceptional service technicians.
If you stop by our Dayton, OH warehouse, you'll see our employees in training sessions, learning the latest ins and outs of cooling and heating services. You'll also see our team of customer service representatives and researchers creating connections and plans for customers like you.

a Dayton Customer Story: New Ductwork & HVAC System
The PROBLEM: Here's one of our favorite stories from a recent job we did in the Dayton, OH area! This customer's three-story Dayton home had serious temperature issues with hot and cold spots throughout the house. They were operating on an exceedingly old oil furnace and A/C that were struggling to keep the three floors of their home warm in the winter or cool in the summer. On top of the failing HVAC system, the ductwork in this house had been poorly sized and constructed, causing numerous issues.
The PROCESS: This customer had an out-of-date AC and Rheem oil-fired furance and they were set on moving to an entirely electric system for the convenience and energy efficiency. They initially decided to go with a different HVAC contractor who claimed to have all the answers. But when that other company showed up to install the new system, they couldn't figure out how to make it work with the layout and told the customer there was nothing they could do.
The SOLUTION: Left in a lurch by the other HVAC contractor, this customer reached back out to us at Watkins. Our experts quickly did an assessment of their home and put their heads together to find a solution. Our team walked the customer through how we could do the job and the major changes that would need to be made to the ductwork. We also gave them an aray of options and quotes for a new electric furnace and heat pump installation. They took what we said, shopped around, and concluded that we had the best plan and price for the job!
The RESULT: A team of Watkins technicians went hard to work drawing up a plan to re-size and re-run the poorly constructed ductwork and replace their outdated furnace and AC. After some major, innovative reworking of the duct system and installing a new high-efficiency electric furnace and heat pump, this customer's system now runs perfectly.
Our comfort specialists set them up with a brand new Trane XR14 heat pump and TAM9 electric air handler (electric furnace). This replacement moved them from old, energy-hogging equipment to a new system with impressive energy efficiency of 14.8 SEER2 cooling efficiency and 7.8 HSPF2 heating efficiency. This will instantly save them money on their energy bill. To help their budget even more, we scored them a $500 discount on their new equipment and helped them secure payments under $100 per month for their completely new HVAC system.
During our recent check-in, the customer told us that they were ecstatic with how their new system has even temperature flowing through every floor of their house. Even just by listening to the system, they can tell how much healthier it sounds than before. Check out the incredible before and after pictures below.
A job the other guys didn't know how to do turned into another satisfied Watkins customer. Let us do the same for you.

As ALWAYS…5 star service
What an awesome surprise to see a woman come to the door! She was very helpful and informative.
Tony was very knowledgeable and got the job done quickly
Rob came out today to give me a quote for a tankless water heater install and whole home humidifier. We had a full HVAC system installed earlier this year by Watkins, and at that time I didn't even think about asking about the humidifier. We're going tankless because we want to remove our crumbling chimney. I submitted a request yesterday online, got a call yesterday afternoon, Rob came out today. The quote is reasonable, financing is available, and he said they could get it done soon. And Rob not only tolerated my crazy dogs, he welcomed their affection. 10/10

Andrew was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He did a great job.
Janeth was a terrific help explaining her findings and the recommended course of action.
When jim came to my house to begin installation for a new heat pump , he said the people would arrive here at seven thirty in the morning. So 7 30k 7 45 , 8 o'clock 815. I called the office and explained the situation and they said, oh no.They have to go to the warehouse first and pick up all the equipment and I said , well , I was told they would be here at seven thirty. They did not arrive. Until nine a m. . When Jim showed me the options available to choose from, there were 3 different systems, and I did eventually choose the lowest price.And he said , well , that's fine , he said they're all fantastic . He did some more markings on the paper and came back with $11000?And I said , say , what... what happened to the nine thousand dollars listed. He said oh yeah when you pay your taxes in april that two thousand dollars will be paid back to you. That was certainly not discussed beforehand when i chose the nine thousand dollar unit. I was expecting to pay nine thousand dollars. Jim said he would contact the service department by email and request that they come out and complete the adjustment to the humidifier.I spoke with him later in the day , and he said he put that email in draft folder and forgot to actually send it. When I called the office this morning they had no record of any email being sent regarding the humidifier adjustment. And he is not at work today.So , nothing is being done in that regard. I had been told before not to pay the bill until everything is completely satisfied. I did not follow that rule.I paid the entire amount due and now service is non-existent On what has not been completed. I called the office this morning and got hold of the lady who handles service calls and she had no record.Of anything being done at my address. she said she would check it out and call me back but that has not happened. To say that I am not impressed with Watkins.Service is an understatement. I doubt that I will use this company again.And I certainly will not recommend it to anyone I know.
Excellent Service
She spent time answering all of my questions and pointing out that we have a small leak in the drain line from the HVAC unit.
Watkins was able to schedule an appointment quickly. The office lady Jen (I believe is her name) was very helpful and nice. Andrew was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable. You can tell he has great passion for what he does. Thank you Watkins!
