Same family shop since 1963 · Licensed and insured · Diagnostic $89, and it comes off the repair
What we do
Those two are no cooling and no heat, and the honest thing to say about both is that a lot of them are small. A blown capacitor, a plugged drain line, a tripped float switch or a filter nobody has changed since March are all cheap fixes, and we will tell you that on the phone before anybody talks about a new system. A shop that has been in one county for sixty years cannot afford to do it the other way.
No cooling, warm air, ice on the line set, breaker tripping, water at the furnace. Most of these are a capacitor, a contactor, a plugged drain or a low charge with a leak behind it, and we will tell you which before we quote anything.
$89 diagnostic
No heat, short cycling, a blower that will not shut off, a flashing control board. Every heat call includes a combustion and heat exchanger check, because a cracked exchanger is the one thing on this page that is not about comfort.
$89 diagnostic
Furnace, air conditioner, coil and line set, sized off a load calculation for your house and not off what was there before. Permit pulled, old equipment hauled off, and the manufacturer registration filed so the parts warranty is actually in force.
from $5,400
Straight heat pumps and dual fuel setups that run the pump down to a set balance point and hand off to the furnace below it. Worth doing here, worth doing wrong nowhere, so we set the balance point on paper before we set it in the thermostat.
from $6,900
The room that never gets warm is usually a duct problem and not a furnace problem. We measure static pressure and airflow, seal what is leaking, and add or resize the runs that are starving. Cheaper than the new system somebody else quoted you.
from $650
Two visits a year, spring and fall, with cleaning, a filter, a drain flush, electrical checks and the combustion test. Members get first call on a no-heat day and no after hours charge, which in January is the entire point of it.
$189 / year
What it costs
The diagnostic is a flat fee and it covers finding the problem, not guessing at it, and it comes off the bill if you have us do the repair. Replacements are quoted after somebody measures the house, because sizing off the old equipment is how a house ends up with a system two tons too big that short cycles for twenty years. We do not charge for a replacement quote and we do not do the four hour kitchen table presentation. Prices here are illustrative for this preview.
Recent work
A heating and cooling shop is hired on whether the work looks like it was done by someone who cares what it looks like in six years. Sheet metal, hanger straps, sealed joints and a labeled disconnect are all things a homeowner can see, and they are the honest tell.
The shop
The shop opened in 1963 and has been at the same address ever since. The two men running it now met about twenty years ago installing equipment together and have been in these same basements and crawlspaces since. It is a small crew, the trucks are stocked with the parts that actually fail, and the person who quotes the job is on the job.
The reason this page exists is that until now the shop showed up online under two different names on two different pages, one of them using a set of initials that is not the name on the sign, so the reviews and the phone calls were split between what looked like two companies. One name, one number, one address. Everything above this line is what we actually do and what it actually costs.

The shop is an office and a parts room and there is nothing to look at. Estimates happen at your house, at the equipment, with a tape measure and a manometer.
If a house has no heat in January or no cooling with somebody elderly in it in July, say that when you call and it moves to the front of the list, plan member or not. For everything else, leave the address, the equipment and what it is doing, and the call comes back the same day. We answer our own phone during business hours, which sounds like nothing until you have called the other kind of company.
Towns we cover: Richmond, Orrick, Hardin, Henrietta, Lawson, Rayville, Camden, Wood Heights, Excelsior Springs, Lexington, Norborne and the county roads through Ray, Carroll, Lafayette and eastern Clay County.
