About Us
We are the Olympic Peninsula's largest and most experienced heating contractor, with more than 24,000 successful system installations since 1974. Unlike other companies that specialize in furnaces, air conditioners, or heat pumps, we specialize in "systems." Equipment alone cannot satisfy your comfort needs. Our comfort specialists survey your home or business, interview you to determine what your needs are, and then design the best system to fit those needs. What fits the "average home" may or may not be what is best for you. Our 40 plus team members have been trained by the best in the industry to identify and meet your needs. We have specialists trained in system sizing and design, installation, service, indoor air quality, piping and heat transfer, and air duct design. In fact, we value training so much, that on average we have someone in class every day—over 2,000 hours per year. This allows us to be recognized as industry leaders; we have been hired to train other contractors. We believe that comfort and safety are the most important concerns for your home, and have designed our business to meet these concerns.
Mission Statement
We are dedicated to maintaining our leadership as the top HVAC company in the region by providing exceptional customer service, using the highest quality equipment, technology, and continuously improving our operations to meet the ever-changing needs of our community.
Achievements and Awards
The SOAR Award, now the Diamond Dealer Award, is granted to the dealer who not only is in the top 10 percent of Trane dealers in the nation, but also ranks highest among dealers in the seven-states served by its HVAC distributor. The award is based on sales growth, dealer image, application and installation skills, customer satisfaction, dealer attendance at local training schools, profitability, and sales of extended warranties. We achieved this award in 1997 and again in 2014.
We have won numerous other awards for excellence, recognizing us as industry leaders for customer service, sales growth, and application and installation skills. Industry standards are our minimum standards. We have worked with Washington State and local utilities to design and implement studies and programs to reduce energy costs and raise industry standards.

Our History
Air Flo Heating was started in 1974 by Robert F. Bequette. Mark Bequette joined and then purchased the company in 1975. Robert had over 30 years of experience in the heating industry when he started the company. Sequim was chosen to base the company because of the lifestyle and recreational opportunities the area provides. Mark joined the company to expand his installation and design abilities, and to use his business and marketing training obtained in college.
Mark hired Joel Berson after graduating from Universal Technical Institute for Heating and Air Conditioning in 1989. During his 33 years of employment with our company, Joel worked his way from installer, service technician, shop fabricator, install foreman, to president. On January 1, 2016, Joel and Tricia Berson purchased the company from Mark and Sandy Bequette. Joel and Tricia now both work in the company. Every day their main focus is to be a local family business for our community.
When the company was established, high quality central heating and cooling was not common in this area. That's why the name Air Flo Heating was chosen, to convey the idea of moving air to provide optimum comfort. By providing quality installations and focusing on customer needs, we have grown to be the Olympic Peninsula's largest heating contractor with a market share of over 50 percent.
Our size means we install more systems than all our competitors combined. We currently have over 40 team members, a 34-vehicle fleet, and two separate Sequim locations with over 20,000 square-feet of office, warehouse, and fabrication space. Our newly open Gig Harbor location was established in 2019 to help our Kitsap Peninsula clients. We specialize in heat pumps, ductless, high efficiency air filters, and automatic zoning systems for residential and commercial applications.
“Thx to Tony for a thorough and professional duct and dryer vent cleaning. He inspected the duct runs in the crawl for us and showed us photos of the crawlspace. He also left everything neat and clean. He’s an asset to your company. Thx T”
