Welcome to Bakers Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc!<\/h1>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Bakers\n

\n\t\tBakers Heating and Air Conditioning has been around since 1982\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Gene and Ethel Baker lived on Pine Island and started Bakers Heating and Air Conditioning in 1982. It was founded with two simple principles: Help people and provide a legacy for his family. By 1983, Gene’s step son Mike Gardner moved from Kentucky to help with the growing business. Baker’s quickly gained a reputation for honest and reliable service. Other members of the family became involved in the business as well.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tIn 2001, Mike and Eugene bought the business from their dad\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

At that time, their motto was “Same old values, new insight and energy<\/em>“. They also broadened the service area to service all of Lee County.&nbsp; In 2001, Eugene has left the business to pursue other interests, leaving Mike as the primary owner. His son Michael is following in his footsteps and is working to grow the company that he will one day have the honor and responsibility to run.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Mike\n

\n\t\tHow We Operate\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Faith is a core value of the Bakers family. We have always believed that this is God’s business; we are just doing the foot work for Him. That means the customers always come first.\u00a0 If we make you feel like a member of our family, we have done our jobs right. Our goal is to provide prompt, efficient, and most of all, honest work for a fair price. Although our office hours are 8:00 am – 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday, we are a 24 hour, 7 days a week business. Our answering service takes our calls after hours. We strive to provide same day service and repair of all major brands.<\/p>\n

Bakers Heating & Air Conditioning provides service and maintenance of air conditioning equipment, free estimates for replacement of out-of-date or inoperable air conditioning equipment, duct work, along with new construction and remodels. Additionally, we both service and replace \u00a0pool heat pumps.<\/p>\n

As the 3rd generation begins to take a greater role in operating the business there are new developments, such as our pursuit of “green” solutions that are still user friendly and cost-efficient.\u00a0 What doesn’t change is how we do business. We have earned a reputation for fair and honest business practices and we work to keep that reputation every day. This isn’t just a business for us, it is our family name.<\/p>\n

At Bakers, we proudly sell Goodman<\/a>, the only air conditioning system made entirely in the USA. We are also a Ruud<\/a> Pro Partner, with the ability to buy, repair and install most other brands, including but not limited to, Bryant, Carrier, Payne, Trane, American Standard, Heil, Frigidaire, Maytag, Ruud<\/a>, Amana, Nordyne, Tempstar, York, and more.<\/p>\n
