No matter what's going wrong with your heating or cooling, we are here to help. Henderson HVAC Company serves homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses across Henderson and the surrounding area, handling everything from a furnace that stopped working overnight to a full system replacement on a commercial property. We are available around the clock, every day of the week, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
When you call, the diagnosis is explained on every call before anything is scheduled. Whoever picks up knows the trade and can scope the job, so you are not left guessing about what the visit involves or what it will cost. Call for a quote and we will walk you through it.
Call in the morning. Ask what it involves. Decide in your own time.
Noticing uneven temperatures or a spike in energy bills? That is usually a sign something in the system needs attention, and catching it early almost always costs less than waiting for a full breakdown. We handle the full range of residential and commercial repair work across Henderson County.
An air conditioner that is blowing warm air, running constantly without cooling the house down, short cycling, or making noise it did not used to make is telling you something. The job starts with a proper diagnosis: checking refrigerant levels, inspecting the condenser and compressor, and looking at the evaporator coil before any parts are quoted. If the system is low on refrigerant, we find out why before we recharge it. A leak that goes unaddressed will put you back in the same place a few months later.
A furnace that will not turn on, blows cold air instead of heat, or keeps shutting itself off before the house warms up needs to be looked at before the next cold snap arrives. We diagnose the air handler and blower, check the heat exchanger, and work through the controls to find where the fault is. Henderson County winters are cold enough that a furnace going out at the wrong time is a genuine problem, not just an inconvenience.
A heat pump that is not heating in winter, not cooling in summer, making a grinding or rattling noise, or simply not turning on at all needs a proper diagnostic, not a guess. Heat pump faults can sit anywhere from the refrigerant circuit to the reversing valve to the controls, and the fix depends on what the system is actually doing.
If one room is always too hot or too cold, or your energy bills have climbed without an obvious reason, leaking ductwork is often the cause. Conditioned air escaping into wall cavities or attic spaces means the system works harder and delivers less. We locate the leaks and seal them so airflow is balanced rather than left to chance.
A thermostat that is reading the wrong temperature, failing to trigger the system, or simply not responding is worth replacing before it causes a bigger problem. We install standard replacements and smart thermostats, and we can set up zoning controls if you want more precise room-by-room management. One call is all it takes to get it looked at.
Calling an HVAC company doesn't have to be stressful, even when the conversation is about a full system replacement. We handle residential and commercial installation across Henderson County, from a straightforward central air and furnace swap to a new mini-split in a space where running ductwork is not practical.
When a system is beyond repair or has become too inefficient to run economically, replacement is usually the more sensible path. We scope the job on the call, confirm what the visit covers, and give you the price before anything is scheduled. What the replacement involves depends on the space, the existing setup, and what equipment fits the load, and we work through that with you before any work starts.
For spaces without existing ductwork, a ductless mini-split handles both heating and cooling without the cost of a full duct installation. They work well in additions, converted spaces, and older buildings where adding ductwork is not feasible.
We do not promise a flat price on this page because the right number depends on what is actually there. You get the rate confirmed on the call after the job is scoped. Reach out and we'll work out what it needs.
Kentucky's four-season climate puts real demands on heating and cooling equipment. Hot, humid summers, cold winters, and the shoulder seasons in between mean a system that is marginal in October will likely fail by January. The three services below come up regularly in this area for reasons rooted directly in how the climate here works.
An aging furnace and a worn-out air conditioner rarely fail at convenient times. Henderson County winters are cold enough to make a furnace that is short cycling or running at reduced output a genuine problem, and summers push central AC systems hard for months at a stretch. When a system is past the point where repair makes economic sense, replacement is the practical call. We assess the existing setup, confirm the right equipment size for the space, and scope the full job before scheduling. That means you know what the job covers before anything is scheduled.
A heat pump handles both heating and cooling in a single unit, which suits Henderson's climate well. The shoulder seasons, spring and fall, are where heat pumps are most efficient, and a properly sized unit can carry the full heating load through most of a Kentucky winter. We calculate the load for the space, select the right equipment, and install both the indoor and outdoor units. Where ductwork is not in place, a ductless mini-split is a practical alternative that delivers the same heating and cooling capability without the duct installation.
Henderson summers bring sustained humidity that a standard air conditioner alone may not fully manage. When indoor humidity stays high even with the AC running, it affects how comfortable the space feels, how hard the cooling system has to work, and the overall air quality in the home. A whole-home dehumidifier integrates directly with the existing HVAC system, pulling excess moisture from the air across every room rather than managing one space at a time with a portable unit. We'll take care of the system from here.
If you're not sure your system can keep up with the season ahead, a tune-up before it matters is the straightforward answer. Seasonal maintenance catches the small problems, a worn belt, a dirty coil, a filter that has not been changed, before they turn into a no-heat or no-cool call at the worst possible time.
A furnace tune-up before winter and an AC tune-up before summer both follow the same logic: the system gets checked when there is still time to address what is found, rather than when the house is already uncomfortable. We also handle heat pump maintenance on the same schedule, which matters because a heat pump runs year-round and accumulates wear in both directions.
For property managers and landlords with multiple units in Henderson County, we can schedule service across all of them. Keeping systems maintained across a rental portfolio reduces emergency calls and keeps tenants comfortable, and we handle the scheduling the same way we handle any other job: scope it on the call and confirm the price before anything is scheduled.
On the air quality side, we install whole-home air filtration and air purifiers that connect to the existing HVAC system. Improving filtration reduces airborne particles throughout the house rather than just in the room where a portable unit sits. Leave the heating and cooling to us.
When the heat goes out in the middle of a cold night or the AC stops working on the hottest day of the summer, the call gets answered. We take emergency HVAC calls any hour of the day, any day of the week, including weekends and holidays. There is no after-hours distinction here because there are no after-hours.
A furnace that will not turn on, an AC that has gone completely silent, or a heat pump that has stopped responding all qualify as emergency calls. When you reach us, the job gets scoped on the call. We explain what the diagnostic will cover and confirm what the visit involves before anyone is dispatched. The diagnosis is explained on every call, so you know what you are dealing with before the work starts.
Not the biggest name in town. Just the one that answers. No runaround.
We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients across Henderson and the surrounding area. The work is the same trade regardless of who is calling, but the specifics differ, and we handle both.
Homeowners typically call about a system that has stopped working, a comfort problem in one part of the house, or a system that is old enough that replacement is worth discussing. Commercial clients and property managers are more often focused on keeping systems running across multiple spaces or units, managing scheduled maintenance, and handling repairs quickly when something goes down.
For commercial HVAC, we handle repair, service, and installation on commercial heating and cooling systems, including commercial furnace repair, commercial AC repair, and full commercial HVAC replacement. For rental properties, we work directly with landlords and property managers to get the job scoped and scheduled without unnecessary back-and-forth.
Either way, the process is the same: the job is scoped on the call, the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and the work is carried out to the standard the job requires.
We serve Henderson as our primary market and take calls from across the wider region, including Corydon, Robards, Spottsville, Reed, and Waverly in Henderson County, as well as Morganfield and Sturgis in Union County and the communities along the Audubon Parkway corridor. If you are nearby and need heating or cooling work handled, call for a quote and we will confirm whether we cover your address.
At the indoor unit, the visit typically covers the evaporator coil, the blower motor and wheel, the filter and filter housing, the condensate drain pan and drain line connection, and the control board and wiring. If the system is not moving air properly or is freezing up, the evaporator coil and blower are usually the first things to check. What gets inspected depends on what the system is doing, and the findings are explained before any repair is quoted.
A system that runs constantly without reaching the set temperature, leaves some rooms noticeably warmer or cooler than others, cycles on and off more frequently than it used to, or has seen a steady climb in energy costs over recent seasons is showing signs that it may be undersized or past its useful service life. In Henderson County's climate, a system that is struggling in October is almost certain to be a problem by January or July. A diagnostic visit gives you a clear read on where the system stands.
When repair costs are approaching or exceeding what a replacement would run, when the system has had repeated failures over a short period, or when the equipment is old enough that parts are difficult to source, replacement is usually the more practical path. A system that was right-sized for the home a decade ago may also no longer match how the space is used or insulated. We go through the options on the call and during the diagnostic so you can make the decision with a full picture of the costs involved.
Short cycling, where the furnace starts and shuts off before the house warms up, is often caused by an overheating condition triggered by a dirty filter, a blocked flue, or a failing limit switch. Blowing cold air usually points to a problem with ignition, the gas valve, or the control sequence that tells the burners to fire. Both symptoms can also indicate a cracked heat exchanger, which is a more serious issue that needs to be confirmed before the system is run further.
A burning smell at the start of heating season is often dust burning off the heat exchanger after months of sitting idle, and it usually clears within a few minutes. If it persists or smells like burning plastic or rubber, that points to a motor, wiring, or component issue that should be diagnosed before the system is run. A musty smell typically indicates moisture in the ductwork or on the evaporator coil, which can point to a drainage issue or a coil that needs cleaning.
A clogged filter restricts the air moving through the system, which forces the blower to work harder and can cause the evaporator coil to freeze in cooling mode or the heat exchanger to overheat in heating mode. Dirty ductwork reduces the volume of conditioned air reaching each room and can circulate dust, debris, and biological material through the living space. Both issues affect how efficiently the system runs and how comfortable the space feels, and both show up in a standard maintenance visit.
If the heat is out in cold weather, close off rooms you are not using and add layers rather than using supplemental heating sources that are not designed for extended use. If the AC has stopped working in summer heat, close blinds on the sun-facing side of the house and move to the lowest floor, which is naturally cooler. Do not repeatedly cycle the system on and off trying to get it to restart, since that can make some faults harder to diagnose when the technician arrives.
We take emergency calls around the clock, every day of the week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. When you call, the job is scoped on the call so you know what the visit involves before anyone is dispatched. We do not promise a specific arrival window on this page, but we do confirm what is available when you call, and emergency calls are handled as a priority.
The area around the equipment needs to be accessible, which means clearing storage from around the furnace, air handler, or outdoor condenser unit before the visit. For attic or crawl space work, the access point should be clear and reachable. If there are pets in the home, securing them away from the work area makes the job go more smoothly and keeps them safe while equipment panels are open.
Refrigerant work on an outdoor condenser unit can be affected by ambient temperature, since charging a system accurately requires the equipment to be operating within a certain range. Installation work that involves running refrigerant lines or making outdoor connections is also affected by rain and extreme cold. If weather conditions affect the scheduling or scope of a visit, we confirm that on the call before the job is booked rather than after the technician is on site.
After the job is complete, you receive documentation of what was done and what was found. That covers the diagnostic findings, the work performed, and any parts that were replaced. If the system needs follow-up attention or there are items that were noted but not addressed in the current visit, those are included as well so you have a clear record of where the system stands.
Older systems sometimes have installation conditions that do not meet current requirements, and those can come up during a repair or replacement visit. If a correction is needed as part of the work, we explain what it involves and what it adds to the scope before proceeding. We do not assume the existing installation is correct just because it has been in place for a long time.
Older homes in Henderson County frequently have ductwork that was sized for equipment that has since been replaced with a larger unit, which creates airflow imbalances and leaves some rooms under-served. Drafts around older windows and doors can also make it harder for a system to hold temperature, even when the equipment itself is working correctly. In some cases the issue is the thermostat location, which can cause the system to read the temperature incorrectly and short-cycle or run longer than needed.
Before a major season change is the most practical time, specifically a spring inspection before Henderson's cooling season and a fall inspection before the heating season. A system that has not been serviced in more than a year may have wear or buildup that is not obvious from the outside but will affect performance under load. An inspection is also worth scheduling after any major renovation that changed the layout, insulation, or window configuration of the space.
Calling an HVAC company doesn't have to be stressful, and it does not have to take long. Henderson HVAC Company takes calls for everything from a routine tune-up to an urgent heating or cooling failure, and short-notice work is welcome.

How do I know whether to repair or replace my HVAC system?
The practical test is whether the repair cost is approaching or exceeding what a replacement would run. If the system has had repeated failures over a short period, or if parts are becoming difficult to source, replacement is usually the more sensible path. We go through the numbers on the call and during the diagnostic so you can make the decision with a full picture of what each option involves.
How often should heating and cooling equipment be tuned up?
Once a year for each side of the system is the standard practice. A furnace tune-up in the fall before the heating season and an AC tune-up in the spring before the cooling season both follow the same logic: the system gets inspected when there is still time to address what is found, rather than when the house is already uncomfortable. Heat pumps run year-round, so they benefit from the same twice-yearly schedule.
What causes one room to stay hotter or colder than the rest of the house?
Uneven temperatures usually point to one of a few things: leaking or undersized ductwork that is not delivering enough conditioned air to that part of the house, a thermostat location that is causing the system to misread the overall temperature, or an equipment sizing issue where the unit is not matched to the actual load of the space. Ductwork leaks are common in older Henderson homes where the original ducts were sized for equipment that has since been replaced.
Diagnosis Explained Before Any Repair
We go through the findings on every call before any repair is quoted. You know what the system is doing, what caused it, and what the fix involves before you commit to anything.
What does a strange noise from the HVAC unit usually mean?
Rattling or clanking often points to a loose component, a failing blower wheel, or debris in the system. A grinding noise from an outdoor unit usually indicates a motor bearing issue that will get worse if the system keeps running. Squealing from the air handler can mean a worn belt or blower motor bearing. Any noise the system did not used to make is worth having diagnosed before it leads to a larger failure.
How does a dirty filter or coil affect system performance?
A clogged filter restricts airflow through the system, which forces the blower to work harder and can cause the evaporator coil to freeze in cooling mode or the heat exchanger to overheat in heating mode. A dirty evaporator or condenser coil reduces the system's ability to transfer heat efficiently, which means longer run times, higher energy use, and less effective temperature control. Both issues come up in a standard maintenance visit.
What does a thermostat or smart-control upgrade actually involve?
The visit covers confirming that the new thermostat is compatible with the existing equipment, removing the old unit, connecting the low-voltage wiring to the new control, and testing the system through its heating and cooling modes. For a smart thermostat, we also handle the initial programming and can walk you through the settings before we leave. If zoning controls are part of the project, the scope is confirmed on the call before the visit is scheduled.
Emergency No-Heat and No-Cool Calls Handled
We take emergency HVAC calls around the clock, every day of the year. There is no after-hours distinction because there are no after-hours.
How do ductwork leaks raise energy bills?
When conditioned air escapes into wall cavities, attic spaces, or unconditioned areas before it reaches the living space, the system has to run longer to hit the set temperature. That extra run time shows up directly in energy costs. In some cases the thermostat never fully satisfies because too much air is lost before it gets where it needs to go. Sealing the leaks reduces the load on the equipment and brings the air where it was intended to go.
Do I need to be home for an HVAC service visit?
For most work, yes. The technician needs access to the equipment, which usually means the furnace or air handler inside the home as well as the outdoor condenser unit. If the work is limited to the outdoor unit and you can provide access to the area, that may be an exception worth discussing on the call. For installations and full replacements, someone should be available to confirm the scope and sign off on the work when it is complete.
Older Systems and New Installs Both Covered
Whether the equipment is decades old or being installed for the first time, we handle the repair, the replacement, and everything in between across Henderson and Henderson County.
What are the signs of a refrigerant or airflow problem?
A refrigerant issue often shows up as an AC that runs constantly without cooling the space down, ice forming on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil, or a hissing sound near the outdoor unit. An airflow problem tends to appear as weak airflow from the vents, uneven cooling across rooms, or the system freezing up despite running. Both can produce similar symptoms, which is why the diagnostic starts with measuring what the system is actually doing before any parts are ordered.
How does an emergency no-heat or no-cool call get handled?
When you call, the job gets scoped on the call. We explain what the diagnostic will cover and confirm what the visit involves before anyone is dispatched. Emergency calls are taken any hour of the day, any day of the week, including weekends and holidays. There is no separate after-hours line and no automated menu to work through. The diagnosis is explained before any repair is quoted, so you know what you are dealing with before the work starts.
Is older HVAC equipment worth repairing, or is replacement the better call?
It depends on the condition of the equipment and the cost of the repair relative to what replacement would run. An older system that has been maintained and has a straightforward fault is often worth repairing. One that has had multiple failures, has a cracked heat exchanger, or requires parts that are no longer readily available is usually a better candidate for replacement. We assess the existing setup during the diagnostic and go through both options before any work is scheduled.
