About Palmer
A family-owned Bakersfield HVAC company since 2009
Palmer Heating and Air was started by Mark Palmer in 2009. It’s still family-owned and still built on the same idea: show up when you say you will, tell people the truth about their system, and charge a fair price.

Our story
Mark still knows your system
Mark Palmer has spent more than 20 years in the heating and air conditioning trade. He opened Palmer Heating and Air in Bakersfield in the spring of 2009 and built it the way he’d want a contractor to treat his own family: explain the problem, give the price before the work, and do it right the first time.
A lot of our customers have called us for years. Tony has called Mark over the years for coil repairs, mini-split installs and emergency calls. Mel calls him “my AC guy.” That kind of repeat business is the reputation we work to keep on every job, from a single capacitor to a crane lift.
