Not a Franchise. Not a Call Center. Just Us.
Reno Tahoe Heating & Air is a family-built business serving the people and places we actually call home — from the valley floor to the mountain passes.
Who We Are
We Know This Climate. We Live In It.
Northern Nevada doesn't mess around. Summers hit 105° in Reno while Tahoe stays cool at elevation. Winters flip that script fast. Most HVAC companies treat this region like any other market — Tim Whitlock knew that was wrong.
After years in the trade watching big-box contractors overcharge neighbors and disappear after the install, Tim and Ryan started Reno Tahoe Heating & Air with a different playbook: show up on time, do the job right, charge a fair price, and actually answer the phone.
That's still the whole plan. We serve Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Incline Village, and everywhere in between — and every call still gets a real person who knows your name.

Meet the Team
The People Behind the Work
Timothy Whitlock
Founder & COO
"I got into this trade because I genuinely love solving problems and helping people. When your heat goes out in January, that's not just an inconvenience — it's stressful. We take that seriously, and we make sure every job is done right so you can get back to your day with one less thing to worry about."
— Timothy Whitlock
Ryan Otte
Founder & CEO/CFO, CPA
"The best compliment we could receive is, 'I'm glad I called you.' That's what Tim and I want to earn with every customer. We've been best friends since childhood, and we started this company to give back to the Reno–Tahoe community that helped raise us. To us, that means taking the time to listen, helping you understand your options, and doing work we're proud to stand behind. We want you to feel taken care of today and know who you can count on tomorrow."
— Ryan Otte
