These plans offer peace of mind and ongoing service at a great value. At Watts, we focus on long-term solutions, not quick fixes — ensuring every dollar you spend goes toward lasting results.

Backflow prevention, testing, repair, and replacement – we provide certified backflow prevention services to protect your water supply from contamination. From annual testing and inspections to repairs and full replacements, we ensure your system stays compliant and functions safely.

Gas line installation (where applicable) – we install safe, code-compliant gas lines for both liquid propane (LP) and natural gas systems. Whether you’re adding appliances, upgrading existing lines, or running new service, our licensed team ensures reliable and secure connections.

Professional Bio

Carre Welsh

With two decades of hands-on industry experience, I proudly serve as the owner and operator of Watts Cooling, Heating & Plumbing, a family-owned company serving Florida’s Big Bend region since 1989. I began my career in 2005, working my way through nearly every role in the business — from dispatcher to service technician, office manager, and general manager — before officially taking over leadership in 2016. I hold both a State Certified HVAC Contractor License and a State Certified Plumbing Contractor License, and have earned specialized certifications in Indoor Air Quality, Residential HVAC System Design, and Backflow Prevention & Testing. My passion lies in delivering reliable, affordable solutions through proper service and system design, not sales pressure. I’m also committed to raising the bar for industry training and mentorship, especially through my involvement with TRACCA (Tallahassee Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Contractors Association), where I help organize apprenticeship programs, technical trainings, and advocacy efforts for the trades.

Community Involvement

At Watts Cooling, Heating & Plumbing, we believe in giving back to the community that’s supported us for over three decades. We regularly support local non-profit organizations such as City Walk Urban Mission and Second Harvest of the Big Bend, through both financial contributions and donated HVAC and plumbing services. We understand the importance of safe, comfortable spaces — and we’re proud to help make that possible for those in need.

We are also proud sponsors of youth sports leagues across the region, believing that teamwork, discipline, and mentorship on the field help build strong leaders off the field. From supporting food drives to pitching in for community fundraisers, we’re always looking for meaningful ways to contribute — because serving our neighbors goes beyond the work we do in homes and buildings
