Our Story

Since opening our doors in 1966, Gagle’s Heating and Air Conditioning has established itself as your hometown leader in the Salem area for providing innovative and practical solutions to all your heating and cooling needs.

Mert and Linda Gagle founded the company with a vision of providing top-notch customer service and quality products. Mert, the backbone of our company, passed away in 2019. Linda Gagle continues to be an integral part of the daily office operations.

Their son, Mark Gagle, and grandson, Grant Gagle, now run the day-to-day operations as the third generation of family members to carry the torch.

Mert and Linda.

Mert and Linda Gagle. Remembering Mert—Always in Our Hearts.

Mert taught the HVAC apprenticeship program at Chemeketa Community College for over 15 years and was a board member of OR-ACCA (Oregon Air Conditioning Contractors Association).

Additionally, Mert was appointed to be a member of the Oregon Mechanical Officials Association. This group is responsible for writing new codes and reviewing all heating/air conditioning codes and regulations for the State of Oregon.

Mert’s legacy remains at the heart of our business.

What Sets Us Apart From the Competition

Our goal with each customer is to become partners throughout the life of your heating and cooling equipment.

We want to be the company you call when your AC needs a tune-up, your furnace makes an odd noise, or you want to upgrade your heating and cooling equipment at an affordable price.

Our installation process is a worry-free adventure from start to finish. Mark Gagle, our company president, does a free inspection after your equipment is installed to ensure all the components run perfectly. We then register the homeowner’s equipment for the customer to ensure it gets the full manufacturer’s warranty.

Need a free, no-obligation consultation on your next home improvement project? Give us a call! Gagle’s Heating is a hometown business that truly cares about our community neighbors in the Salem area.

Here are a few other reasons to add our phone number to your address book:

  • Our technicians are certified through North American Technical Excellence (NATE), which requires rigorous hands-on training and a thorough knowledge of the HVAC industry.
  • We provide transparent, upfront pricing and convenient financing options. We promise never to surprise you—unless it’s good news!
  • Our company is built around the values of Family, Integrity, and Honesty.
  • We support and network with locally-owned businesses to build a stronger community around us. We also donate to local organizations and charities, doing our part to help the community.
  • We offer affordable maintenance protection plans with extended warranties and other perks to keep your equipment running efficiently.
  • We do not incentivize our technicians to ‘upsell you’ or to sell new equipment instead of a repair. They understand to only recommend replacing a part if it is absolutely necessary or can save you money.
  • We are one of the few companies that specialize in oil furnaces. These systems are less common, and finding an HVAC company familiar with their care can often be difficult, but Gagle’s has the experience and knowledge to service them.
  • We are proud partners with Ace Hardware! Most Ace Hardware stores are owned and operated by local entrepreneurs, and we love to show our support to local business owners over corporate ‘box stores’—especially ones that help us get the job done!
  • We prioritize emergency service needs during extreme weather, often carving out days to only service immediate needs so our community stays comfortable regardless of the Oregon weather.
