Waukesha County’s Heating and Cooling Service Is Also an Installation Superstar

Tom Smith started the business in 1954, serving residents of Waukesha, using his bicycle to get around because he was still in high school. If the distance was farther than his bike could travel, he would ask a licensed driver to escort him to the job. He eventually did his own driving, expanding his staff and management personnel to include his wife, son, daughter and son-in-law.

The Family Business Waukesha Continues to Turn to Year After Year

In December 2012, Tom and his wife Signy retired, selling the business to its three current owners: Tom Wypiszynski (son-in-law), Paul (Tom W’s son) and Fred Kaleel (Tom W’s brother-in-law). If you find it challenging to follow the path of this family tree, the important takeaway is that Tom’s Heating has been family-owned and -operated for three generations, and continues to grow and flourish as the experts in home comfort.

Longtime Tom’s Heating installers, service technicians, office staff and dispatchers—also part of the family—stay with us because they like our customers and they like working here. The family’s continued commitment to the community is represented by our day-to-day motto: Average happens by accident. Excellence happens on purpose.

We’re known for being the area’s “honest company,” where customers understand that we do what we’re supposed to do in a straightforward, ethical way. For example, we don’t recommend products or procedures if they’re not needed. In fact, we do our best to repair heating and cooling equipment until it’s no longer practical. We also offer free estimates on new equipment and provide second opinions to callers who frequently end up staying with our business.

Many heating and cooling problems are simple and can be resolved by home or business owners. Call our knowledgeable staff and we will share free advice over the phone. In addition, our office staff often refers customers to our website checklist so they can troubleshoot and potentially skip a trip charge for these easy issues.

Our technicians use replacement parts that are factory authorized because they are trustworthy and reliable. We put in extra effort and attention to detail to please our customers—right down to taking our shoes off before entering their homes, laying tarps and cleaning up after every job. We’re right there with 24/7 service if customers find themselves facing a furnace or air conditioning emergency. Our staff does everything we can to keep Waukesha families comfortable and happy through sizzling summers and frosty Wisconsin winters. And we know customers appreciate our efforts—and we appreciate their enthusiastic testimonials.

Technology Has Evolved and So Have We

Technology has changed, and so have we. Today, more and more customers ask us about home automation, Wi-Fi thermostats, smart home options and state-of-the-art heating and cooling systems. Our knowledgeable service technicians are adept at installing and repairing these new systems because they’re continually coached and trained in order to keep up with evolving technology. Our goal is to provide our customers with the most efficient, most cost-effective solution for their budgets and needs—and we offer 100% customer satisfaction on every installation we do.
