About Service First Heating & Air Conditioning

Meet Our Team

Dave Wharff — President

I’ve served homeowners since 1997, building a reputation on one simple principle: do the job right and take care of people. With contractor licenses in Ohio, Kentucky, and Florida, I bring decades of hands-on experience in HVAC, plumbing, pool heating, and automation to every project so clients get reliable solutions, not guesswork.

I don’t cut corners. I complete more than 40 hours of continuing education each year to stay current with technology and industry standards. I’m NATE certified and have held a Building Analyst license, which means I approach problems methodically and deliver long-lasting results backed by proven expertise.

At Service First, our mission is straightforward: provide honest recommendations, high-quality workmanship, and service that earns your trust for life. That commitment shapes how we diagnose issues, choose materials, and communicate timelines and costs. Transparency and accountability are non-negotiable.

We handle projects of all sizes, from routine maintenance and emergency repairs to full system upgrades and smart-home integrations. Every job is completed with attention to detail, safety, and energy efficiency, helping homeowners reduce costs and enjoy greater comfort.

Community and family matter to me. I volunteer with the Punta Gorda Youth Baseball League and understand the daily demands families face. I’m a father of three daughters and two sons, and a grandfather of two. That perspective informs our customer service: respectful, punctual, and focused on solutions that keep your home safe and comfortable.

When you choose Service First, you’re choosing a family-owned company that stands behind its work. We value lasting relationships and will always prioritize integrity, quality, and your peace of mind.
