Payne Air Conditioning & Heating
Payne Air Conditioning & Heating is a locally owned and operated HVAC contractor that has served Central Florida since 1936. The story began in Lakeland, Florida in 1936, when founder Charles Payne opened a small heating and appliance business selling fuel oil, heaters and household appliances. By the 1950s the company began installing window and room air conditioning units, and in 1968 it officially became Payne Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc. The company says it is the oldest Carrier dealer in Florida, having partnered with the brand since at least 1955, and that it is regularly recognized by Carrier as a top-performing dealer. Ownership has changed hands several times over the decades, each time staying rooted in the local community, and Frank Lansford has owned the business since 2007. Today the company has over 115 full-time employees and a fleet of 45 service and 37 installation vehicles, serving residential, commercial and industrial clients throughout Central Florida. Work covers air conditioning repair, installation and maintenance, heating repair and installation, heat pump service, ductless mini split systems, furnace repair and installation, evaporator and fan coils, HVAC controls and thermostats, indoor air quality solutions, commercial HVAC and commercial refrigeration for coolers, freezers and walk-in units. Payne is a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer and dispatches NATE-certified service techs, and it says its technicians and installers receive extensive, ongoing training. The company states that its technicians are paid hourly rather than on commission, so customers are never sold something they do not need, and that it uses flat-rate pricing so the cost of repairs is known upfront. Comfort Advisors provide free estimates to replace your system, emergency service is available 24/7, and the company offers and honors parts and labor warranties that can protect customers from unexpected repair costs for up to 10 years. Its Florida license number is CAC1817108-FL.
