Family-Owned Since 1998
A+ Air Conditioning and Refrigeration was founded by Bob and Denice McCollum with a simple philosophy: provide honest, high-quality HVAC service at a fair price. What started as a small operation has grown into one of the most trusted heating and cooling companies in Gainesville, FL - but our values have never changed.
Our slogan says it all: "We don't want to be the biggest, we want to be the best." Since 1998, that mindset has guided every service call, every installation, and every customer interaction. We are not a franchise or a corporate chain. We are your neighbors, and our reputation is built one job at a time.
From our early days serving a handful of residential customers to now providing full-service HVAC solutions for homes and businesses across North Central Florida, we have stayed true to the principles that got us here: do great work, be honest about what needs fixing, and stand behind everything we do.

A Message from Our Owners, Bob & Denice McCollum
When we started A+ Air Conditioning and Refrigeration in 1998, we did not set out to build the biggest HVAC company in Gainesville. We set out to build the best one. We had both seen how the industry too often treated customers, with rushed diagnostics, unnecessary upsells, and work no one stood behind, and we wanted to do the opposite. That is where our slogan comes from, and decades later it is still the standard we hold ourselves to: we don't want to be the biggest, we want to be the best.
For us, that has always meant treating every customer like family and every home and business like our own. It means telling you the truth about what your system needs, doing the job right the first time, and standing behind the work long after the truck pulls away. As a family-owned, locally-operated company, our name is on every job, and the trust of Gainesville and North Central Florida families is something we have never taken for granted.
Thank you for giving us the chance to earn it, one service call at a time.
- Bob and Denice McCollum
