The legend behind Scottish Tom Heating and Air

Meet Tom Walsh — “Scottish Tom” — the HVAC wizard who’s been keeping Orange County comfortable for over 15 years. You might know him from DaVinci Mechanical; now he’s bringing that commercial-grade precision to homes.

Why “Scottish Tom”?

The nickname fits the mindset: stubborn about quality, careful with your budget, and tough enough for the hottest attics in OC. Most importantly, he explains your system in plain English — not HVAC hieroglyphics.

Tom Walsh — Scottish Tom
“No upsell. No jargon. Fix what’s broken, maintain what matters, and teach you enough that every decision feels easy.”

The Scottish Tom Difference

What you can expect on every job — from first call to final clean-up.

  • Test, measure, diagnose, and design — we find the cause of the problem.
  • 15 years’ experience; journeyman certified (local/state/national). Ongoing technical & safety training for every tech.
  • We find rebates, tax credits, and incentives — no intimidating, high-pressure sales tactics.
  • Friendly, chatty, transparent. We educate homeowners and build long-term relationships.
  • We believe if you cut too many corners, you’ll go around in circles.
  • We help our community and worthy charities (like Mercy House) — and loop in business contacts when needed.
On the job — clean, organized installs

From commercial giant to residential hero

After years handling the big stuff — malls, offices, industrial — Tom shifted to helping homeowners one-on-one. Same obsession with doing it right; now with personal attention.

What makes us different (no-BS approach)

You won’t be pitched a new system if a bona-fide repair and tune-up will do. Expect clear options, transparent pricing, and clean workmanship you’ll want to show off.
