"Jeremy showed up as scheduled, did the work needed, and gave me a price I felt was fair. 2 other HVAC companies in the last 2 years couldn’t solve the problem he did on the first visit. He’s honest, will show you the work he is doing and won’t try to sell you stuff you don’t need."

We are a locally owned and operated HVAC company based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving all of Allen County with ambitions to expand. We noticed a growing trend of large corporate HVAC firms taking over the space that once was filled by smaller, locally owned companies. Witnessing this, we felt compelled to start our own HVAC company to reinstate the essence of local, personalized, and affordable service. We believe that HVAC service should not just be a transaction, it should be a relationship. Instead of upcharging and taking advantage of customers, our goal is to provide a cost-effective and personal experience. We care about our community and strive to keep your home comfortable at a fair price. Leveraging our extensive experience in trades and HVAC, we guarantee the same level of quality as the large corporations. But unlike them, we are proud to employ local technicians and staff. Living and working in Fort Wayne, we take pride in supporting our local economy. Our manager, brings a wealth of industry experience to our team, having held numerous roles ranging from warehouse manager to operations manager, even general manager at several of the larger corporate firms. Our dedicated team of installers and service technicians are thrilled to be part of our mission. They're eager to build the company they've always wished existed. Our administrative staff, too, is all locally sourced, not outsourced overseas. While we are a small team now, we are committed to growth. We are actively hiring and working with local trade schools to foster career development for our youth and demonstrate that Fort Wayne is a vibrant place to launch a successful career. We hope you will choose our local, employee-owned, reliable, and trustworthy team for your next HVAC service or system installation. Thank you for considering us, and we look forward to serving you.

"Devon came out to check our AC unit after it stopped working, and he quickly found the issue — just a simple switch in the electrical panel. He took the time to test the whole unit, made sure everything was running smoothly, and even scheduled our annual maintenance for next week to clean out the unit. He was thorough, respectful, and stayed to make sure everything was working correctly before he left. I really appreciated the great service!"

Locally owned for 30 years, Watkins serves the Miami Valley with integrity and excellence. Trust the best! From our great people to our well-stocked service trucks, you’ll notice the difference with our very first visit.

"Ben showed up to provide estimate for services. Ben was the only person from the companies I contacted who conducted a Manual J calculation to determine my homes needs. This is the main reason I selected this company. On the day of installation, Josh and crew arrived on time and quickly got to work. The placed all sort of floor protection mats in my house and get the tear out done very quickly. As the tear out was happening, one member of the teams was taking care of the duct work changes in our attic. All in it was full day, but so far, two days later we are super happy. This summer we will really know if the 2-stage AC was worth the money for our needs. We are satisfied customers so far would recommend and would use them again."

“When we started the business in 1978 the foundation of the company was built on the primary objectives of providing quality service and installations at a fair price. We receive specialized training and continue our technical education throughout our careers, allowing us to offer better products, better knowledge, and better service! I want our customers to be comfortable in their homes and comfortable doing business with us. Come home to comfort with Hauser Heating & Air Conditioning.” Sincerely, Roy Hauser Company Founder

"Hauser inspected an upscale furnace we bought from them. They said nothing was wrong ? including a fan one of their competitors said was going out. 2 weeks later when we first used the furnace, Hauser had to replace the fan. They said they could not predict a fan going out! Apparently their competitors can. We were a few days past our warranty, but Hauser agreed to replace under warranty (parts, not installation). They charged $1,792 for a 20 - 30 min installation, an effective labor rate of $3,600/hr. Numerous calls were ignore except business person explained that this is not an hourly rate, just the price they charge for this installation. This is greedy and unethical. They use linguistic obfuscation, calling it an ?installation fee? ? independent of an hourly rate. It is immoral: a grifter?s flim-flam shell game. An annual labor rate of $7.5 M is not reasonable by anyone?s standards. "
