Our Wilmington branch began in 2008 as Batts Heating & Air Conditioning and joined Powell's in 2023. Same crews, same care, and now plumbing too, all from our shop on Marguerite Drive.
Batts Heating & Air Conditioning started in Wilmington in 2008 and spent the next fifteen years keeping Cape Fear homes cool through long, humid summers. In 2023 it joined Powell's.
The crews stayed, and the branch added plumbing. Today 18 people and 14 trucks cover Wilmington, Leland, Hampstead and the beaches, from new builds to homes that have had the same heat pump for twenty years.
Many local builders have used this team for years, and the branch is a member of the Wilmington Cape Fear Home Builders Association.

Eighteen years with the branch, from Batts Heating & Air through to Powell's, working his way up from technician to service manager to general manager. He once stayed late to thaw an elderly couple's frozen heat pump on a cold winter night.
“We show up when we say, and we price it before we start.”

“Bubbling in the toilet usually means you've got a clog.”
Heat pumps and AC here run most of the year. Our technicians know what salt air and humidity do to coils, and how to keep a system running through August.
Many local builders have used this crew for years, and new homeowners keep calling us long after closing.
Since joining Powell's, the branch handles plumbing, drains and water heaters as well as heating and cooling.
We hire licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians, and we train people who are new to the trades. No resume? Just call the Wilmington office. See careers at Powell's
