About Jon Wayne Heating & Air

Your Local Heating & Air Conditioning Specialists in Springfield & Southwest Missouri

When you invite an HVAC company into your home, you deserve to know who you are dealing with and what you can expect from the work. At Jon Wayne Heating & Air, we take that responsibility seriously. We started as a small, family-run shop in Springfield, and after more than 30 years, that is still exactly how we run things today. We are locally owned, so the people who fix your furnace or install your new AC call this community home.

We built our foundation on doing what we say we are going to do. We prefer losing a job over performing it incorrectly, meaning we never cut corners or rush through an installation just to offer the cheapest quote on the block. When you work with us, you receive clear answers, practical field advice, and the backing of technicians who take true ownership of their craft.

Call us in Springfield at (417) 831-9500, or in Mt. Vernon at 417-466-2515. You can also contact us online to get in touch with us and receive a free estimate for your selected HVAC service.

More Than a Business, We Are Your Neighbors

Located in the heart of Springfield's Westside Community Betterment neighborhood, Jon Wayne Heating & Air serves residents throughout the Springfield metro area. We also provide our services to surrounding towns, including Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Marshfield, Bolivar, and Willard. Wherever you live in Southwest Missouri, chances are we already know your neighborhood.

Whether it is the Sertoma Chili Cook-Off in Springfield, the Christmas parade in Republic, or the Fall Parade in Billings, we show up because we are proud to live here. Supporting these events is one small way we say thank you to the neighbors who trust us with their homes.

We have a large team of experienced and dedicated HVAC professionals who are committed to keeping homes across Springfield and other Missouri communities safe and comfortable. Every technician on that team lives by the same standard and treats every house as if it belonged to a neighbor, because it usually does. That mindset shows up in the small things, from wearing shoe covers indoors to cleaning up completely before we leave.

Quality You Can Count On

We don’t cut corners or sacrifice quality just to offer the cheapest price. We do the job right, stand behind our work with strong warranties and guarantees, and do what we say we’re going to do.

Our Approach to Every Job

Doing the job right matters more to us than doing it fast or cheaply. We would rather walk away from work than force a shortcut that could cause problems for you later. That approach shapes everything Jon Wayne Heating & Air does, from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.

Here is how that approach shows up on every job we take:

Upfront pricing – We tell you the cost before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Personal inspection – Before we consider a job finished, someone on our leadership team reviews photos of the completed work.
Manufacturer support – If an issue comes up with your equipment down the road, we get on the phone with the manufacturer and fight for you directly.
Honoring our quotes – The price and timeline we give you at the start is the price and timeline you get at the finish.
Fast response – With shops in Springfield and Mt. Vernon, we can typically reach your home faster than companies working out of a single location.

This is what you can expect our technicians to bring to every home across Greene County, Lawrence County, and the rest of Southwest Missouri. It is why so many families call us back for every furnace, AC, and heating job that comes up over the years.
