Who we are

A neighbor, not a franchise

Clockwork Heating & Air Conditioning has been a proud part of the Athens, GA community since 1985. Founded by Mack and Linda Chambers with just $1,000 and a red pickup truck, Clockwork began as a family-run venture grounded in honesty, hard work, and heart. Their mission wasn't just to fix heating and cooling systems, it was to build relationships, earn trust, and serve their neighbors' homes like their own.

Now led by their son, Mack Chambers, Jr., Clockwork continues its legacy as the only multi-generational HVAC company in the area, not backed by private equity, but by family values and decades of community commitment. When you see our Clockwork vans around town, you're seeing a neighbor. We live here, shop here, and care deeply about the comfort of the people who share our hometown.

Reviews

What your neighbours are saying about us

"Fast, reliable, honest and extremely professional. I am super busy, so I don't have a lot of extra time, especially to write reviews, but with a business like Clockwork, I like to give credit where credit is due. This was the second time I've needed them on a weekend and they came through again!"

Theresa WebbAthens, GA

"I've used Clockwork twice now and both times I had a great experience! Their staff are always friendly and professional. Shout out to the tech Logan who helped me out both times. He was fantastic and really took the time to explain what was going on and why he made the recommendations he had."

Hannah G.Watkinsville, GA

"Highly recommend this wonderful company! Clockwork came to the rescue in a matter of hours for an issue with the HVAC. They were professional, efficient, and went above and beyond once the repair was completed to make sure all else was running smoothly with my system."
