About Top Notch Heating & Air

As a locally owned and family-operated business based in Athens, Texas, we proudly serve homeowners and businesses throughout the greater East Texas area with honest, dependable HVAC and commercial refrigeration services.
With nearly three decades of hands-on experience, our owner/operator built this company on a simple foundation: do what’s right for the customer, every time. With the wealth of knowledge he brings to the industry, he has trained our team of technicians to perform every job correctly, thoroughly, and with the same level of care and attention to detail.
We specialize in residential and commercial HVAC systems, as well as commercial refrigeration, offering everything from routine maintenance and repairs to complete system installations. Whether it’s a small service call or a large commercial project, our approach remains the same—thorough diagnostics, clear communication, and quality workmanship you can rely on.
At Top Notch Heating & Air, we don’t believe in unnecessary upsells or quick fixes. We believe in honest recommendations, long-term solutions, and treating every customer like family.
A Message from the Owners
We started Top Notch Heating & Air as a family business with one goal in mind — to provide honest, dependable service our community can truly trust.
Over the years, we’ve seen too many homeowners and businesses feel pressured into costly replacements or left unsure about what their system actually needed. That’s never been the way we do things. We believe in taking the time to properly diagnose each situation, explain it clearly, and offer solutions that are truly in your best interest.

To us, this business is more than just heating and air — it’s about taking care of people. When you call us, you’re not just another job on the schedule — you’re someone we want to serve well and build a lasting relationship with.
As a married couple and parents of two kids, this business means even more to us. It’s not just about today — it’s about building something meaningful for our family and our community. We are incredibly grateful for God’s provision and the continued growth He has allowed us to experience, and we don’t take that responsibility lightly.
We’re proud to serve Athens and the surrounding communities, and we’re grateful for the trust our customers place in us every day.
We truly appreciate the opportunity to earn your business and your trust!
