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The PROCESS: This customer had an out-of-date AC and Rheem oil-fired furance and they were set on moving to an entirely electric system for the convenience and energy efficiency.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.

He was great very professional!
This is the second time Tony has serviced my HVAC unit-the first to replace a broken condensate pump after hours and the second for regular maintenance on my furnace. He was prompt both times, notifying me he was in his way. So appreciated! He took care of the issue with professionalism and kindness. Advised me of the service plans offered but without pressure to purchase. I was referred to Watkins by a friend who was likewise pleased with them. I much prefer the 2 hour appt window over others’ 4 hr timeframe. Looking forward to continuing the relationship with Watkins if Tony is any indication of their integrity.
Excellent Service

Brad is extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. He is an asset to your team, thank you very much!
Great service and in depth analysis of my AC problems.
This young man came out when he really didn't have the time to, and helped out an old lady whose other heating and cooling company had come out just for a check up and took a unit that was working just fine and screwed it up so that it was no longer working! Tim is a superb employee and you should be very proud to have him on your team! He went above and beyond to help this old lady out when he didn't have to and I am now a customer of Watkins for life. Thank you and I hope Tim is recognized by you for what he did for me!
