When a furnace stops working or an air conditioner runs all day without cooling the house down, the answer is the same whether you own the property or rent it out: get somebody out who knows what they are looking at. We handle heating and cooling repair, service, and installation for homes and commercial properties across Heath and Licking County.
Call (380) 288-9789 any day from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM.
The work covers the full range. A single-family home on a system that has never been looked at, a landlord with a tenant who has no heat, a small business that cannot afford the air conditioning to quit in July. For each of them, the process starts the same way: the job gets scoped on the call, a price is confirmed before anyone is booked, and the person who comes out explains the fault before quoting the fix. That is what we deliver in Heath.
The short answer is: it depends on more than the rating on the label. A system rated for high efficiency delivers that efficiency when it is properly sized for the space, installed with sealed ductwork, and matched to a thermostat that controls it correctly. A unit that is oversized for the home short-cycles before it has time to dehumidify the air, and a system pushing conditioned air through leaking ducts loses a significant portion of that output before it reaches the rooms that need it.
In a region with real winters and humid summers, the gap between a system's rated efficiency and what a property actually sees can be wide. The equipment is only part of the answer. Duct condition, air handler placement, refrigerant charge, and how the controls are set all factor in. When efficiency is the goal, those details matter as much as the equipment spec, and the call is the right place to work through what applies to your setup.
Standing water near the air handler or furnace is not a plumbing problem. It is almost always a condensate drain that has backed up or a coil that has frozen and thawed. Left alone, it damages the equipment and the surrounding structure. The diagnostic visit traces it to the source before anything is quoted.
An AC that runs continuously without dropping the indoor temperature is working harder than it should and getting less done. The fault is usually in the refrigerant circuit, a fouled condenser coil, or a blower that is not moving enough air across the evaporator. Refrigerant leak diagnosis is part of a proper AC service call, not an add-on, because a recharge without finding the leak just repeats the problem.
A cracked heat exchanger is one of the faults that does not announce itself with obvious symptoms. The furnace may run normally while combustion gases move into the air supply. An inspection checks the heat exchanger directly rather than relying on symptoms alone. It is the kind of check that belongs in a seasonal tune-up and the kind that gets skipped when a visit is rushed.
A furnace that will not fire, fires and shuts off before completing a cycle, or runs without delivering heat covers a range of faults: igniter failure, a dirty flame sensor, a tripped limit switch, or a blocked flue. Each one presents differently and each one gets traced to the actual cause on the visit. Emergency no-heat calls are taken seriously here, and those calls are answered every day from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM.
Rooftop package units carry the full heating and cooling load for a building in a single piece of equipment, which means a fault affects the whole space at once. Access is different from a residential job, and the diagnostic covers the refrigerant circuit, the economizer controls, and the ductwork connections into the building. We handle commercial rooftop work across Heath alongside residential calls.
Disconnected duct sections and leaking seams are common in homes where the ductwork has not been looked at in years. The symptom is usually uneven temperatures: one room that never gets warm, another that stays cool in summer but not in winter. Sealing the duct system puts the conditioned air back where it belongs and takes load off the equipment at the same time. It is also the step that makes an efficiency upgrade actually perform at its rated output.
Filtration and humidity control address different problems, and both matter in a four-season climate. A whole-home air filtration system installed in line with the air handler treats every cubic foot of air that passes through the system, rather than catching what drifts past a portable unit in one room. For households where dust, allergens, or airborne particles are a daily concern, that difference is significant.
Humidity is the other half of indoor comfort that the thermostat does not measure. Regional summers are humid, and a standard air conditioner removes some moisture as it cools, but it is not designed to hold indoor humidity at a consistent level. A whole-home dehumidifier installed into the duct system runs independently of the cooling cycle and keeps moisture under control even when the AC is not running at full load. In winter, the problem reverses. Forced-air heating dries indoor air, and a whole-home humidifier added to the system addresses that without the maintenance demands of standalone units.
Smart thermostats and zoning controls tie into air quality equipment as well as the heating and cooling system itself. A zoned system lets different areas of a property maintain different conditions, which matters in a home where one side runs warm and the other runs cold regardless of what the thermostat says. We handle thermostat and smart-control installation alongside the equipment work, and the call is the right place to ask what a zoning setup would involve for your property.
We take calls every day from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM. When you call, the job gets scoped on the phone: what the system is doing, what equipment is involved, and what the visit will cover. The price is confirmed before the visit is booked, so there is nothing to decide after the fact. Call in the morning. Ask what it involves. Decide in your own time.
A no-heat call in a Licking County winter and a no-cool call in the middle of a humid July are both situations where waiting is not a reasonable answer. Emergency calls are taken seriously here and are not moved to the back of the queue. If you are a landlord or property manager coordinating access for a tenant, that gets worked through on the same call. The schedule and the access details are settled before anyone is dispatched. With a local company, you get answers straight from the people doing the work. The options are set out on our page listing every HVAC service.
A repair quote depends on what the fault turns out to be, which is why the diagnostic comes before the number. The component involved, how accessible it is, and what else the system needs to run correctly all factor in. A refrigerant recharge on a system with an unrepaired leak is a different scope from a recharge on a system that is otherwise sound, and the price reflects that difference.
Replacement work is priced differently again. Equipment type, the size of the space, and what the installation involves all move the number. A written scope is part of every installation job, so the work is defined before it starts. Second opinions on replacement quotes are welcomed. If another company has already told you the system needs to be replaced, call and we will work through what the scope covers and what the job should actually involve.
There are no invented figures on this page because the right number comes from the job in front of us, not from a table. The call is where the price gets built, and you have it before anything is scheduled.
We cover Heath and the communities around it throughout Licking County. If your property is in Newark, Granville, Hebron, Jacksontown, or Licking Township, you are in the area we serve. The coverage is the same whether the call is for a repair, a seasonal tune-up, a full system replacement, or an emergency.

Pressure testing is the standard approach. The duct system is pressurized and the rate of pressure loss is measured, which gives a picture of how much air is escaping the system overall. That test does not locate every individual leak, but it confirms whether the duct system is a significant source of efficiency loss and guides where to look further. Visual inspection of accessible sections often identifies the worst offenders.
Changing the filter on schedule is the single most effective thing. Beyond that, keeping the area around the outdoor condenser clear of vegetation, debris, and stored items allows the unit to reject heat properly. Making sure supply and return vents inside the property are not blocked by furniture improves airflow through the system. None of those tasks require tools or trade knowledge, and all of them affect how hard the system has to work.
Often yes. When you call, the person who answers can work through the symptoms with you and identify the most probable cause before anyone is dispatched. That conversation also helps determine whether the situation calls for emergency service or a scheduled visit, and it gives whoever handles the job useful context before arriving.
Often yes, but it depends on the condition and configuration of the existing duct system. Ductwork that has significant leakage, undersized sections, or damaged insulation may limit the performance of a new system even if the equipment itself is correct. The installation scoping process includes an assessment of the existing duct system so the recommendation reflects what the ducts can actually support.
Yes. Media filters need to be replaced on a schedule that depends on the filter type and how heavily the system runs. Electronic air cleaners have collection cells that need periodic cleaning. Whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers have maintenance requirements of their own. When air quality equipment is installed, we walk through what the maintenance schedule looks like so it does not get overlooked between HVAC visits.
Call (380) 288-9789 any day from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM and describe the situation.
We scope the job on the call, confirm the price, and work through the access details with you before anything is scheduled. If the tenant needs to be present or the property needs to stay occupied during the visit, that gets handled in the same conversation.

Call (380) 288-9789 to check what is available and confirm the visit.
Older homes in the area frequently have ductwork that has developed leaks or disconnected sections over the years, which shows up as uneven temperatures from room to room rather than a single obvious fault. Furnace igniters and flame sensors are common repair items in systems that have been running for a decade or more. Heat pump adoption is growing in the region, and faults on those systems, particularly reversing valve issues and refrigerant charge problems, come up alongside the traditional furnace and AC calls.
When you call (380) 288-9789, we will ask about the equipment: what it is doing, how old it is, and what the space requires.
By the end of the call, the job is scoped, the price is confirmed, and the visit is booked. That is what every call resolves to, whether the situation is a furnace that stopped overnight or a system that has been underperforming for months.
We are available every day from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM. Call and we will get the fault identified and the work priced.
