Who we are
We’re a heating and cooling company in North Ridgeville. Most of our work is furnaces and AC for houses around here, plus rooftop units and boiler work for local businesses.
Whoever comes out to price your job is on the crew that does it.
We size it to your house.
We look at the square footage, insulation and windows before we pick a unit. One that’s too big runs in short bursts and leaves the air damp.
You get the price in writing first.
Equipment, labor and anything that isn’t included. We don’t start until you’ve okayed it.
We’ll tell you if it’s not the equipment.
Sometimes the problem is the ductwork or the thermostat. If that’s the case, you’ll hear it from us before we sell you anything.

Before you call
Things to check before you call
You don’t need any tools for these. If none of them fix it, call 440-213-7798 and let us know what you’ve already tried.
If you smell gas, don’t do any of this. Get out of the house, then call the gas company or 911 once you’re outside. Don’t flip any switches on the way out.
No heat
1
Thermostat
Set to Heat, set point above the room temperature. Replace the batteries if the screen is blank or dim.
2
Furnace switch
There’s a switch that looks like a light switch on or near the furnace. Make sure it’s on, and that the breaker hasn’t tripped.
3
Filter
A clogged filter can make the furnace overheat and shut itself off. If it’s grey all the way through, swap it.
4
Front panel
The furnace won’t run with its door off or loose. Push it fully closed.
5
Vent pipes outside
High-efficiency furnaces vent through two white plastic pipes on an outside wall. After a snowstorm, clear any drift or ice off them.
It mostly comes down to age and how often it breaks. If it’s under ten years old and one part failed, repairing it usually makes sense. If it’s past fifteen and keeps breaking, or the compressor or heat exchanger is gone, replacing it usually costs you less over the next few years. We’ll give you a price for both so you can decide.
How often should my system be serviced?
Once a year for each system. AC in the spring, furnace in the fall. Most manufacturers want a yearly service to keep the parts warranty good, so it’s worth keeping the paperwork.
How often should I change my air filter?
A standard 1-inch filter every one to three months, more often if you have pets or a lot of dust. The thicker 4 or 5-inch filters usually last four to six months. A clogged filter is the most common reason we see a system struggling.
What size system does my house need?
We work it out from the house, not from the old unit. That means the square footage, the insulation, and how many windows you have and which way they face. A unit that’s too big turns on and off constantly, which leaves the air damp and wears the compressor out early.
My upstairs never cools down. Is the air conditioner at fault?
Usually not. Most of the time it’s the ductwork: runs that are too small, too long, or not balanced. A new AC won’t fix that, so it’s worth having the ducts looked at first.
Do you work on businesses as well as homes?
Yes. For businesses we do rooftop units, boilers and hot water heating, ductwork and controls. For homes it’s furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps and mini-splits.
