Our History

Chaffee Air was founded in 1999 by Rex Chaffee. Starting out as a Frigidaire dealer, Rex grew the company into a full-service HVAC company, esteemed Trane Comfort Specialist, and Mitsubishi Elite Diamond Contractor. In 2022, Rex was introduced to Knoxville Native and owner of Patriot Mechanical, Aaron O’Hern, who bought the company, allowing Rex to retire. Chaffee Air and Patriot Mechanical now work hand in hand together, offering full-service HVAC & Plumbing for both residential and commercial customers.
