THE WALKER AIR CONDITIONING STORY
Walker heating and appliance company was founded by the late
Richard F. Walker in 1945, after returning from W.W.II and working for the Titche-Goettinger company installing floor furnaces. He began by buying
several of Titche's old panel trucks at auctions, keeping one and selling
the rest to pay for his. Operating from his garage, he knocked on doors at
night, selling floor furnaces and installing them the next day, soon
developing a reputation for personal service and integrity which has endured
for over 60 years!
Central Heating was soon added to Mr. Walker's
services and the company continued to grow. By the early 1950's, Room Air
Conditioners were added and appliances were dropped. The company name was
then changed to Walker Heating and Air Conditioning Company, and Central Air
Conditioning was added to the services offered.
In the 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's, Walker
Heating and Air Conditioning Company, operated out of the original location
at 2522 South Beckley Avenue, became the largest and best known heating and
air conditioning company south of the Trinity River being an exclusive
distributor of Friedrich Central Heating, Central Air Conditioning, and
Friedrich Room Air Conditioning products and services.
Even after Mr. Walker's death in 1973, the business continued to grow and
expand to cover the entire DFW MetroPlex through the efforts of the Walker
sons. In August 1970, Walker Air Conditioning, Inc. was founded by Charles
F. Walker to serve the North Dallas area. Originally located at Royal Lane
and Harry Hines Boulevard, this company grew to include a south location at
2446 N. IH-35E, and now, the new Collin County location is 18352 Dallas
Parkway #360343, Dallas, Tx. 75287. Walker Air
Conditioning, Inc. became an authorized Carrier Heating and Air Conditioning
dealer in 1982, after Friedrich Central Heating and Air Conditioning was
bought and absorbed by another manufacturer. This merger of Walker's
reputation for personal service and customer satisfaction and Carrier's
reputation for quality and state-of-the-art engineering provides
unparalleled value for even the most discriminating customer.
Into the new millennium, Walker Air Conditioning Associates continues to
offer Richard F. Walker's brand of personal service and unquestioned
integrity with tomorrow's excellence featuring American Standard Central
Heating and Air Conditioning products along with other related comfort
items. Our Commitment remains:
"Total Customer Satisfaction" |
