FAQs
What types of heating systems do you repair in the Lake City area?
Our technicians are trained and certified to service and repair all major residential and light-commercial heating systems found in Lake City, including gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, packaged HVAC units, and hybrid dual-fuel systems. We work on equipment from every leading manufacturer—Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and more—so you can count on us to diagnose and fix virtually any make or model.
How quickly can you respond to a no-heat emergency?
We offer 24/7 emergency heating repair throughout Lake City and neighboring communities. Calls received before 10 p.m. are usually handled the same night, and after-hours calls are dispatched first thing the next morning. Our average arrival time for true no-heat situations is 2–3 hours, weather and traffic permitting. A live customer-care representative—never a machine—will keep you updated on the technician’s ETA.
What will my heat repair cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Yes. After inspecting your system, our technician will explain the problem, present all viable repair options, and quote each option in writing before any work begins. A typical minor repair (e.g., flame sensor cleaning or capacitor replacement) ranges from $125–$250, while more extensive repairs such as blower motor or heat-exchanger replacement can run $400–$1,200. We never charge diagnostic fees when you authorize the repair, and we back every job with a 100-day parts-and-labor warranty.
How do I know whether to repair or replace my heating unit?
Rule of thumb: if your system is over 12 years old and the repair cost exceeds 30% of the price of a new, high-efficiency unit, replacement often makes better financial sense. Our comfort specialists provide a free cost-benefit analysis comparing your repair quote against replacement options, factoring in energy savings, rebates, and financing. Ultimately, the choice is yours; we’re here to give you clear data so you can decide with confidence.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Every service professional on our team holds a Florida Class A or Class B HVAC license, carries EPA Section 608 certification for safe refrigerant handling, and undergoes annual factory training. We maintain $2 million in general liability coverage and full workers’ compensation insurance, protecting you and your property on every call.
What maintenance can I do to prevent future heating breakdowns?
1) Replace or clean your air filter every 30–60 days during peak use. 2) Keep supply and return vents unobstructed. 3) Trim vegetation at least 18 inches from outdoor heat-pump units. 4) Pour a cup of white vinegar into the condensate drain line quarterly to deter clogs. 5) Schedule a professional tune-up each fall; our 21-point inspection includes safety checks, electrical tightening, and efficiency calibration—all proven to reduce breakdowns by up to 80% and cut heating costs by 10–15%.
