About Team Sawyers

When the Sawyer brothers opened shop in Modesto six years ago, there not just the newest heating and air company around; they introduced a whole new set of standards for doing business locally. In fact, you might say that they rolled out the red carpet for each and every new customer. Wes and Derek Sawyer adopted an integrated customer assurance program that enabled them to make sure their growing client base was completely satisfied and as a result, their customer-focused approach catapulted them to the position of a premier Trane dealer in the area.

The founders of Sawyers Heating & Air Conditioning grew up in Oakdale and initially garnered their industry experience by working for large companies in the bay area. But when the pair decided to open their own business they opted to do it back home near family and friends. In 2000 the two brothers started out working by themselves from a small office, answering service calls and offering in-home consultations. As the business grew, they expanded their space, their employee base and their offerings.

Today, the business has moved to a 10,000 square foot shop that includes a showroom with working models of comfort systems (so people can hear for themselves how quietly they operate) and nearly 50 employees to keep things running smoothly. Derek Sawyer, General Manager, believes hiring the right people with the right ethics and integrity is the key ingredient to ensure that the team of the comfort advisors, installers, and administrative staff work closely with customers to ensure that each job is finished to meet or exceed their expectations.

Today the company specializes in updating residential heating and air equipment with new high efficiency equipment - a growing need among longtime area homeowners. Aside from the fact that older heating and air units are uncomfortable and noisy to live with, they can be much more costly to operate because they have to run longer to reach desired temperatures, hot or cold. It's an expensive inefficiency that may be multiplied for homeowners in the Central Valley where summertime temperatures hover at the top of the scale and peak agricultural seasons can generate excessive dust and pollen.
