Who is Fallbrook Heating & Air Conditioning?
Fallbrook Heating & Air Conditioning Inc is a family-owned HVAC contractor based in Fallbrook, California. Ralph Wilson and his father started it in 1972, and it is now in its third generation of family ownership. It repairs, maintains and installs air conditioners, furnaces and heat pumps for homes across North San Diego County and southwest Riverside County.
The company holds California contractor's license C-20 #638959 and is often shortened to "FHAC". You can reach us at (760) 728-8716, and our mail goes to PO Box 1658, Fallbrook, CA 92088.
How did the business start?
Fallbrook Heating & Air Conditioning was started in 1972 by Ralph Wilson and his father. They set out to give their neighbors the kind of home-town service you'd expect from a local business, and they named the company after the town they served. The family has run it ever since.
Ralph V. Wilson II still leads the company as CEO and is the Responsible Managing Officer on its contractor's license, which the Contractors State License Board first issued in 1992. The business is now in its third generation of family ownership. Our van still carries the line "North County's Comfort Experts Since 1972", and the phone number on it is the same one you'll find on this site.
A lot has changed since 1972. Fallbrook has grown, equipment has become far more efficient, and California's energy code now asks much more of every installation. What hasn't changed is the idea: show up, find the real problem, explain it plainly and do the work properly.
A letter from Ralph V. Wilson II
Dear Friends,
Since my father and I started this company in 1972, I have had the privilege of meeting people from all over our beautiful county. I have been your home-town expert from that first year, and I am proud to keep serving you well into the 21st century.
Looking back, I never thought the business we started so long ago would turn into what it has become today. As I watched the North County area grow up, I saw the once quiet streets of Fallbrook turn into a bustling neighborhood. When I look at Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, Temecula and Escondido, I remember a time when you could stand in the middle of the street for quite a while before a car drove by.
My company will be here when you need any part of your home comfort system cared for. We repair, maintain, add and upgrade furnaces, air conditioners, humidifiers, heat pumps and indoor air quality systems.
I hope you've had the chance to use our services in the past. If you haven't yet, I look forward to meeting you.
Ralph V. Wilson II
Founder and CEO, Fallbrook Heating & Air Conditioning Inc

How we work
Good HVAC work is mostly about doing the boring parts right. Here's what that looks like on our jobs:
- Permits pulled and filed. When a job legally needs a permit, such as replacing an AC, furnace or heat pump, we pull it with San Diego County or your city's building department. Our guide to HVAC permits in San Diego County explains why that protects you.
- California code followed. That includes the Title 24 energy code and the duct testing it requires when equipment is replaced.
- All makes and models. We service and repair whatever brand you have, old or new.
- Brands we install. Daikin, Goodman, Innovair, Bosch, Fujitsu, ADP, Carrier, Bryant, Payne, York, Williams and AC PRO.
- Free estimates on new and replacement systems. You'll know the plan before any installation starts.
- Old equipment disposed of properly. Refrigerant is recovered and old units are handled under EPA rules.
- Plain explanations. We show you what we found and what your options are, so you can decide.
We're licensed and insured. Our technicians are factory trained on Daikin, Innovair, Bosch, Fujitsu, York and Honeywell equipment, and every technician passes a criminal background check.
