Our Story
About EMS Heating and Air
A family-owned HVAC company built on trust, expertise, and a deep commitment to the Reno community — since 1998.
Proudly Serving Reno Since 1998
A Legacy Built on Trust
EMS Heating and Air was founded with a simple mission: provide Northern Nevada homeowners and businesses with honest, expert HVAC service at a fair price. Over more than two decades, that mission has never wavered.
What started as a small operation has grown into one of Reno's most trusted HVAC companies, with thousands of satisfied customers across Reno, Sparks, Fernley, Carson City, and the surrounding communities.
We're proud to be a bilingual company, serving both English and Spanish-speaking customers throughout Northern Nevada. For many families in our community, being able to communicate in their preferred language makes a real difference — and we're honored to bridge that gap.

"I started EMS because I believed Reno deserved an HVAC company that actually cares — about the work, about the customer, and about doing things right. That's still what drives us every single day."
