Built on Experience. Continuing a Legacy.
House of Air is a local air-conditioning company. The people who run it grew up in this market, and the work is still repair, maintenance, and installation done in Sarasota and Bradenton homes.
How the company got here
1986
Donald Drechsler starts an air conditioning business in Sarasota, Florida, with Fred Hazen as his right-hand man.
1993
Fred Hazen leaves to start his own business, Fred's Air Conditioning.
2022
After 30 years of building Fred's Air Conditioning, Fred sells the business to Austin Drechsler. Austin changes the name to House of Air Conditioning.
Today
House of Air Conditioning serves Sarasota, Bradenton, Manatee County, and surrounding communities.
Austin Drechsler
Austin grew up in Sarasota and has been around the air-conditioning business his whole life. He graduated from Riverview High School in 2014, started in the trade right away, and completed HVAC education at Suncoast Technical College, night classes while he worked during the day. In 2022 he bought Fred's Air Conditioning from Fred Hazen and changed the name to House of Air Conditioning.

Residential and commercial work both sit on that list, including repair, maintenance, replacement, ductwork, indoor air quality, and new construction.
