Central Heating & Air Conditioning has been serving Henderson and Henderson County since 2013. Whether your AC stopped working in the middle of July, your furnace quit on a cold January night, or you are ready to replace an aging system, we handle the full range of residential and commercial heating and cooling work. That means AC repair, heating and furnace repair, heat pump service, system installation and replacement, ductwork repair and sealing, thermostat and smart control installation, indoor air quality, and emergency HVAC service. Quick response. Straight pricing. No surprises at the unit. Call (270) 894-4282 for a quote and get work performed by qualified HVAC technicians on your schedule.
From aging systems to brand-new installs, we cover every category of residential and commercial HVAC work in the area. Homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners all count on us for the same thing: straight answers about your furnace, AC, and ductwork, no surprises. We diagnose refrigerant leaks, troubleshoot airflow and uneven temperatures, service condensers, compressors, air handlers, and blower motors, and help customers make smart decisions about repairs versus replacements. Whether you manage a single rental or a portfolio of commercial properties, we show up ready to work. One call brings a technician to your door.
When your AC stops working or starts blowing warm air, the problem could be a refrigerant leak, a failed condenser or evaporator coil, a tripped component, or a system that has simply run past its useful life. We diagnose the issue, explain what we found, and get the repair done. We also perform seasonal AC tune-ups that catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
No heat in the house is an urgent problem, especially when temperatures drop in Henderson County. We diagnose and repair furnaces that have stopped working, are cycling oddly, or are not producing enough heat. A furnace tune-up before the heating season is one of the simplest ways to avoid a breakdown when you need the system most.
A heat pump that is not heating or not cooling could have a refrigerant issue, a reversing valve problem, or a control fault. We handle heat pump diagnosis, repair, and seasonal tune-ups for both ducted systems and ductless mini-splits. If your heat pump is running but not keeping up, call us and we will find out why.
Leaking or poorly sealed ductwork wastes energy and creates uneven temperatures throughout the home. We inspect, repair, and seal duct systems to restore airflow and efficiency. If ductwork is beyond repair or was never installed correctly, we handle full duct replacement as well.
A thermostat that is not working, reading temperatures incorrectly, or simply outdated can undermine an otherwise healthy HVAC system. We install programmable and smart thermostats that give you better control over your comfort and your energy use. Upgrading your controls is one of the most affordable efficiency improvements available.
The air inside your home can carry dust, allergens, and other particles that a standard filter does not catch. We install whole-home air purifiers, air scrubbers, and upgraded air filtration systems that work with your existing HVAC equipment to improve what your family breathes every day.
Annual HVAC maintenance is the most reliable way to extend equipment life and avoid unexpected breakdowns. We offer pre-season tune-ups for both your cooling and heating systems, covering inspection, cleaning, and adjustments that keep everything running at peak efficiency heading into the heaviest-use months.
Staying ahead of HVAC problems keeps your home comfortable. Henderson County sits in a true four-season climate. Summers are hot and genuinely humid, and that combination puts real demand on both your cooling equipment and your home's moisture levels. Winters are cold enough that a reliable heating system is not optional. The work we see most often here reflects that reality: full system replacements when aging equipment can no longer keep up, heat pump installations for customers looking for efficient year-round comfort, and humidity control for homes where the AC alone is not enough. Our locally owned and operated HVAC technicians know what this climate demands and how to match the right equipment to it.
When a system is beyond repair or has aged past the point of efficiency, replacement is the right call. In Henderson, that usually means evaluating the furnace and the AC together as a paired decision. Replacing both at the same time allows for properly matched equipment, better efficiency, and a single installation process rather than two separate jobs spread over a few years. New systems also offer meaningful energy savings compared to equipment that is ten or fifteen years old. If you are weighing the cost of another repair against a full replacement, call us and we will walk you through what makes sense for your home or building.
Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling from a single system, and Henderson's climate sits right in the zone where they perform well. A heat pump installation can replace an older furnace-and-AC setup or serve as the primary system in a new build. For additions, sunrooms, garages, or spaces without existing ductwork, ductless mini-split systems offer the same efficiency without the need to run new ducts. We handle both ducted heat pump installations and ductless mini-split installations throughout the area.
Henderson summers bring the kind of humidity that makes a home feel uncomfortable even when the temperature is technically in range. A standard air conditioner removes some moisture, but it is not designed to manage humidity as a primary function. A whole-home dehumidifier integrated with your HVAC system pulls excess moisture out of the air consistently, improving comfort, reducing the musty feeling that comes with high indoor humidity, and supporting better indoor air quality overall. If your home feels sticky or clammy even when the AC is running, this is worth a conversation. We'll get your comfort back on track.
Getting your comfort problem handled starts with a quick call. When your heat goes out in January or your AC fails on the hottest day of the summer, you need a technician who can get there the same day. We offer emergency and same-day HVAC service for homeowners and businesses throughout Henderson and the surrounding Henderson County communities. No heat, no cool, system completely down: these are situations that cannot wait, and we treat them that way. Call today. Comfortable tomorrow. Running for good. Call (270) 894-4282 now. We stand behind the HVAC work done right the first time, and we are ready when you need us. We're one phone call from getting your comfort right.
Ready to get the comfort back? The first step is knowing what you are dealing with, and that starts with an honest diagnostic and a clear estimate. We do not give vague ranges and then surprise you at the end of the job. Whether you are asking about a repair, a full system replacement, or a new heat pump installation, we explain what the work involves and what it will cost before anything gets started. Pricing for HVAC work depends on the equipment, the scope of the job, and what we find during the diagnostic, so we cannot publish a single number that applies to every situation. What we can promise is a straight conversation about your options. We're a small local team, and every customer matters to us. Call and we'll handle the furnace, the AC, and the ductwork.
We work with offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and property managers throughout Henderson County who need reliable commercial HVAC service. Commercial systems run harder and longer than residential equipment, and a breakdown during business hours costs more than just the repair bill. We provide commercial AC repair, commercial heating repair, system installation, and preventive maintenance programs that keep your building comfortable and your equipment running. Same-day availability applies to commercial clients as well. If your building's system goes down, call us and we will get a technician out.

| Indoor Air Quality and Air Filtration |
| households dealing with dust, allergens, or air quality concerns that a standard filter does not address | These systems work with your existing HVAC equipment, so installation is typically straightforward and does not require replacing the main unit. |
How do I know if my AC or furnace needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
A few factors point toward replacement rather than repair: the system is more than 15 years old, repair costs are approaching half the price of a new unit, or the equipment has needed multiple repairs in the past two or three seasons. We walk through those factors with you during the diagnostic and give you a straight comparison of repair cost versus replacement cost so you can make an informed decision.
What causes a system to stop heating or cooling entirely?
The causes range from simple to serious. A tripped breaker, a clogged filter, or a thermostat set incorrectly can shut a system down without any equipment failure at all. On the more serious end, a failed compressor, a refrigerant leak, a bad control board, or a cracked heat exchanger can all stop a system from doing its job. We diagnose the actual cause before recommending any repair.
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance?
Once a year for each system is the standard recommendation, and timing matters. Schedule a cooling tune-up in spring before the weather heats up, and a heating tune-up in fall before you need the furnace. Staying on that schedule keeps equipment running efficiently and gives us a chance to catch small issues before they become breakdowns.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
When your heat goes out in January or your AC fails on the hottest day of the summer, we move quickly. Same-day and emergency service is available for homeowners and commercial clients throughout Henderson and Henderson County.
What are the signs of a refrigerant or airflow problem?
Warm air coming from the vents when the AC is running, ice forming on the coil or refrigerant lines, a system that runs constantly without reaching the set temperature, or rooms that feel noticeably different from each other can all point to a refrigerant or airflow issue. These problems do not fix themselves; call us and we will diagnose what is actually happening.
What does a seasonal tune-up actually cover?
A tune-up is a thorough inspection and service visit, not just a filter swap. We check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, clean coils and drain lines, test the thermostat and controls, measure airflow, and look for anything that could cause a problem during the season ahead. The goal is to catch issues early and make sure the system is running at its best efficiency heading into heavy use.
Why is one room always hotter or colder than the rest of the house?
Uneven temperatures usually trace back to one of a few causes: ductwork leaks or blockages, an undersized or oversized system, a damper that is closed or stuck, or a room that is simply harder to condition because of its location or insulation. We diagnose the source rather than guessing, because the fix depends on what is actually causing the problem.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We explain what the work involves and what it will cost before anything gets started. If something changes once we are into the job, we tell you before we proceed.
What does strange noise from my HVAC unit mean?
Different sounds point to different problems. Banging or clanking often means a loose or broken component inside the unit. Squealing can indicate a worn belt or bearing. Rattling sometimes comes from loose panels or debris in the system. A clicking sound that does not stop can signal a relay or control issue. If your system is making a sound it did not used to make, it is worth a call before the problem gets worse.
Should I try to fix an HVAC problem myself?
Swapping a filter or resetting a tripped breaker is reasonable for a homeowner to handle. Beyond that, HVAC equipment involves refrigerants, electrical components, and gas connections that require proper training and tools to work on safely. Attempting repairs without that background can make the problem worse or create a safety issue. If the filter swap and the reset did not fix it, call us.
Work Performed by Qualified HVAC Technicians
Every job we take on is handled by qualified HVAC technicians who take the work seriously and stand behind what they do.
How does a whole-home dehumidifier differ from a portable unit?
A portable dehumidifier handles one room at a time and needs to be emptied regularly. A whole-home dehumidifier integrates directly with your HVAC system and manages moisture throughout the entire house automatically. In a climate like Henderson's, where summer humidity is genuinely high, a whole-home unit makes a noticeable difference in comfort even when the AC is already running.
How long does a full system replacement take?
Most residential system replacements are completed in a single day. The timeline depends on the scope of the job, whether ductwork modifications are needed, and the equipment being installed. We give you a clear picture of the schedule before we start so you know what to expect.
Do I need to be home when the technician arrives?
For most service calls and installations, yes, someone should be home to provide access to the equipment and to review the findings and options with the technician before any work begins. If your situation makes that difficult, call us and we will work out the logistics with you.
Call (270) 894-4282 and we will walk you through your options, give you a straight estimate, and get a technician scheduled at your convenience.
