Company History

The company was founded by Ethan Pogue, who returned to hands-on HVAC work after teaching the trade. With a background as a college instructor, he built Design Air Heating & Air Conditioning on a foundation of education and precision. What started as a local service operation has grown into a respected business known for thorough diagnostics and honest advice, without the push for unnecessary sales.

Leadership

Owner Ethan Pogue entered the HVAC field in 1989 after trade school. He worked for over two decades as a service technician, senior technician, and service manager for larger companies before teaching HVACR at San Joaquin Valley College. That teaching experience informs the company's approach: technicians are trained to explain problems clearly and offer practical options. Pogue's local presence means he's often on site for complex jobs, bringing his instructor's eye for detail to every home in Morro Bay CA and the Central Coast.
