Frequently Asked Questions

A new furnace installation typically ranges from $3,500 to $8,000 depending on the size of your home, the efficiency rating you choose, and any ductwork modifications needed. We offer free in-home estimates and Specials & Coupons
flexible financing options so you can get the system you need without the full upfront cost.

Consider replacement if your furnace is over 15-20 years old, needs frequent repairs (more than once a year), has a cracked heat exchanger, or your energy bills are rising despite maintenance. A newer high-efficiency furnace (95-98% AFUE) can cut your heating costs by 20-30%. We'll give you an honest assessment — we won't push a replacement when a repair makes more sense.

Common causes: a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a malfunctioning thermostat, a pilot light or igniter issue, or an overheating safety shutdown. Check your filter first — a clogged filter is the #1 cause of furnace problems. If that's not it, call us at (740) 382-6141 and we'll diagnose it.

A new central AC system typically costs $4,000 to $10,000 installed, depending on the size, efficiency (SEER2 rating), and your existing ductwork. We provide free estimates and recommend the right size — oversizing wastes energy, undersizing can't keep up. See AC services →

Check your thermostat settings (make sure it's set to COOL, not HEAT or FAN), check the air filter, and make sure the outdoor unit isn't blocked by debris. If those don't fix it, the issue may be low refrigerant, a failed compressor, or an electrical problem — call us at (740) 382-6141.

A furnace burns gas to create heat. A heat pump moves heat from outside air using electricity — and reverses to cool in summer, replacing your AC. In Ohio, heat pumps work well down to about 25-30°F; many homes use a dual fuel setup (heat pump + gas furnace backup) for the best efficiency year-round. Learn about heat pumps →

Yes. No heat in January or no A/C in July — call (740) 382-6141 any time, day or night. We respond to emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Emergency repair details →

Twice a year — a spring tune-up for your AC and a fall tune-up for your furnace. Regular maintenance catches small problems early, extends equipment life, and keeps your system running efficiently. See maintenance plans →

A full inspection includes checking and cleaning the burner assembly or evaporator coil, testing safety controls, measuring airflow and temperature, inspecting the heat exchanger or refrigerant levels, checking electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, replacing the air filter, and testing the thermostat. We tell you exactly what we find — no surprises.

We service every major HVAC brand — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Bryant, Amana, and more. For new installations, we're an authorized American Standard dealer — reliable, efficient equipment at a fair price point.

Most standard replacements take one day — typically 4-8 hours. A complete system swap (furnace + AC + coil) may take a full day. We'll give you a time estimate before we start, and we clean up completely when we're done. Installation details →

Start with regular maintenance (a tuned system runs 10-15% more efficiently), seal air leaks around windows and doors, add attic insulation, use a programmable thermostat, and replace your air filter every 1-3 months. If your system is over 15 years old, upgrading to a high-efficiency unit can significantly reduce your bills.
