When something goes wrong with the heating or cooling in a home or building, the first call should get a straight answer. Call and a person who knows the trade picks up. When you reach us, whoever picks up knows the trade and can scope the job. That means you find out what the system is likely doing, what the visit will cover, and what it will cost before anyone is dispatched.
We handle the full range of heating and cooling work across Mount Vernon and Posey County, from a furnace that stopped firing on a cold night to a central air system that has been limping through summers for too long. Residential customers, rental properties, and small commercial buildings all call us for the same reason: the work gets looked at properly, and nothing moves forward until the scope and the price are confirmed.
Call (270) 894-4282 to get started, and reach us at [email protected] if you prefer to write first.
We take calls around the clock, every day of the week, including weekends and holidays. There are no after-hours restrictions here. If a furnace goes out at two in the morning or an air conditioner stops working on the hottest afternoon of the year, the call gets answered and the job gets scoped on that call.
Appointments for non-emergency work are arranged the same way: call, describe what the system is doing, and we confirm what the visit covers and what it costs before anything is booked. You are not committing to anything until the scope and the price are settled.
A home with no heat in winter or no cooling in a humid summer is not a situation to sit on. We treat those calls as a priority. When you describe the situation on the call, we walk through what the system is likely doing and what the diagnostic will involve. If the property has tenants or a business that needs to stay open, we work around that. The goal is to get the system assessed and, where possible, addressed in the same visit.
The phrase "tune-up" gets used loosely in this trade, and it is worth being specific about what a scheduled visit involves. A furnace maintenance visit covers the heat exchanger, the burners, the ignition system, the flue, the blower, and the controls. An AC tune-up covers the evaporator coil, the condenser, the refrigerant charge, the electrical connections, and the airflow through the system.
The point is not to run through a checklist and hand over a sticker. It is to find what is wearing down, running outside normal parameters, or likely to cause a problem before the season puts the system under load. A capacitor that is reading low, a blower wheel that has accumulated enough buildup to restrict airflow, or a heat exchanger with early signs of stress are all things that show up on a proper maintenance visit and not on an emergency call.
For rental properties and small commercial buildings in the area, keeping systems on a maintenance schedule reduces the emergency calls that come at the worst possible time. We handle both fall furnace visits and spring AC visits, and we can schedule across multiple units if that is what the situation calls for. Leave the heating and cooling to us.
When the technician arrives, the first job is to understand what the system is actually doing rather than what the symptom description suggested over the phone. Sometimes those match. Sometimes the system does something different once it is running in front of someone. Either way, the diagnostic starts from what is observed, not from what was assumed.
The findings are explained before any repair is quoted. That means the cause of the fault, what fixing it involves, and what it will cost are all on the table before any work is authorized. If the diagnostic turns up something additional, that gets communicated before it is addressed, not after. You do not get an invoice for work you did not agree to.
For older homes in Mount Vernon, that process matters more than it might in a newer build. Equipment that has been running for many years sometimes has more than one thing going on, and a visit that rushes to the obvious fix without checking the surrounding components can leave the customer calling again within a few months.
It happens. A repair that seemed to fix the problem stops holding, or a system comes back from a previous service visit still not working the way it should. We take those calls without any assumption about what the earlier work covered or who did it. The diagnostic starts fresh.
We also take on work that was started and not finished, or where the scope of the job changed after it began. If a system was partially disassembled or a repair was attempted without a clear result, call us and describe what is there. We will work out what the situation needs before anyone comes out.
Second opinions are part of the same picture. If you have been told a system needs a full replacement and you want another set of eyes on it, that is a reasonable thing to ask for. We scope it the same way we scope any other job: look at what is there, explain what we find, and give you a price before any work is authorized. One call is all it takes to get it looked at.
A dirty or damaged evaporator coil is one of the more common causes of an AC system that runs constantly without cooling the space down. When the coil is coated in buildup, heat transfer suffers and the system can freeze up entirely. Cleaning restores the transfer surface. If the coil itself is damaged or leaking refrigerant, repair or replacement is the next step, and we confirm which before any parts are ordered.
The blower moves conditioned air through the ductwork and into the living space. When the motor is failing or the wheel has accumulated debris, airflow drops across every room the system serves. The result is uneven temperatures, higher energy use, and a system that runs longer than it should to reach the set point. We service blower motors, replace failing ones, and clean wheels that have built up enough material to restrict the air.
The Ohio Valley region runs humid through much of the summer, and a standard air conditioner removes some moisture as a byproduct of cooling but is not designed to hold indoor humidity at a consistent level. A whole-home dehumidifier integrates with the existing HVAC system and pulls excess moisture from the air independently of the cooling cycle. Whole-home humidifiers serve the opposite need in winter, when forced-air heating dries the indoor air to the point where it affects comfort and materials. We install both, tied into the existing system.
These are among the most common electrical component failures in HVAC equipment, and they often present as a system that will not start, starts and immediately stops, or runs the fan without engaging the compressor or the burners. A failed capacitor or contactor is usually a straightforward replacement once the fault is confirmed. A control board fault takes more careful diagnosis, since the board manages the entire operating sequence of the equipment. We confirm the fault before any component is replaced.
When a room is added to a home, the existing duct system is rarely sized to handle the additional load without adjustment. A room that the ducting never properly reached will be uncomfortable regardless of how well the main system runs. We design and install ductwork for additions, working from the load the new space requires and the capacity of the existing equipment. Airflow balanced rather than left to chance is the measure of whether the job was done correctly.
A compressor that has failed or a condenser unit that is not running properly typically shows up as an AC system that blows air but does not cool, or that makes noise it did not make before. Compressor diagnosis involves checking the electrical supply to the unit, the capacitor, the refrigerant charge, and the compressor windings before a conclusion is drawn. A failed compressor on an older system often makes replacement the more practical answer, and we go through that honestly rather than recommending a repair that will not hold.
The price for any job depends on what the system is actually doing, what has to be accessed to address it, and whether a repair or a replacement is the right answer. Those three things move a quote more than anything else, and none of them can be confirmed without a diagnostic.
When you call, we go through what the system is doing and give you a rate for the visit before anything is scheduled. Once the technician has completed the diagnostic, the findings are explained and the repair or replacement cost is quoted before any work is authorized. The price is confirmed before you commit to anything. If the job turns out to involve something additional, that gets communicated before it is addressed.
We do not publish equipment prices or job totals on this page because the honest answer depends on what is there. What we can tell you is that the diagnosis is explained on every call, and you are not billed for work you did not agree to. For the full list, go to our HVAC services page.

Not the biggest name in town. Just the one that answers. No runaround.
Yes. We work with property managers and managing agents regularly. The person booking the job does not need to be the owner, as long as they have authority to authorize the work and can arrange access to the property. We confirm the scope and the price with whoever is booking before anything is scheduled.
No, and it often makes things worse. Closing vents increases static pressure in the duct system, which forces the blower to work against more resistance and can cause the system to short-cycle, reduce airflow to the remaining rooms, and wear components more quickly. If certain rooms are consistently over-conditioned, zoning or duct adjustment is a more effective solution than closing vents.
We clear away any materials, packaging, and removed components before leaving. If the work involved cutting into ductwork or opening access panels, those are closed and secured. We do not leave a job with the equipment space in a worse state than we found it.

We take emergency heating calls at any hour, every day of the week, and there is no after-hours distinction. When you call, we go through what the system is doing and scope the job before anyone is dispatched. If the system cannot be addressed in a single visit, we explain what the next step is before the technician leaves.
That depends on how the work is arranged and who is authorizing it. If a property manager is booking service across several addresses under the same account, we can discuss how the invoicing is structured when the jobs are scheduled. Call us and we will work out what makes sense for your situation.

In most cases, yes, though compatibility depends on the wiring at the existing thermostat and the type of heating and cooling equipment in the property. Some older systems use wiring configurations that require an adapter or a different model of smart control. We confirm compatibility when the job is scoped and explain what the installation involves before anything is scheduled.
Older homes in the area tend to have ductwork that was sized for equipment no longer in the house, and additions that were never properly connected to the main system. Equipment that has been running for many years without a maintenance visit often has worn electrical components, a dirty evaporator coil, or a blower that is no longer moving the air it should. A diagnostic visit gives you a clear picture of where the system stands before any repair or replacement decision is made.
When you call (270) 894-4282, we will ask what the equipment is doing, how long it has been doing it, and whether anything changed before the problem started.
By the end of that call, you will know what the visit covers, what it costs, and when it can be scheduled. That is what the call is for. Reach out and we'll work out what it needs.
