Heating and air conditioning service built around Lexington
Humid summers in the valleys and colder winters at elevation create very different loads within the same state. Our Lexington teams are set up for exactly that: rapid response, flat-rate pricing quoted before work begins, and no surprise overtime charge for nights or weekends.
Homes in Fayette County tend to be a mix of older builds with original ductwork and newer infill construction, which means airflow problems show up very differently from one street to the next.
Peak cooling demand here runs May through September. Booking a tune-up in early spring means you are not competing with the whole neighbourhood for a tech in July.

Lexington40550 HVAC questions, answered
Is my carbon monoxide risk something I should worry about?
With any combustion appliance, yes. A cracked heat exchanger can spill carbon monoxide into the living space, and it is odourless. We perform combustion analysis and a CO test on every furnace and boiler call in Lexington, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
How often should I change my filter in 40550?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Lexington with pets, ongoing construction nearby, or a high-MERV filter in an undersized return should move to monthly changes. A loaded filter is the single most common cause of frozen coils and failed blower motors.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Lexington we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
Why is my furnace short cycling?
Short cycling in Lexington most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 40550?
A diagnostic visit in Lexington typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
