• Repairs, replacements, and maintenance for all major brands
• Upfront pricing before work starts

Installations and Replacements Done Right

A proper install sets you up for years of comfort and lower utility bills. We size systems based on your home’s square footage, insulation, duct condition, and airflow. Then we install and test every component for safe, efficient operation.

What we install:

• Gas furnaces for reliable warmth in frigid local winters
• High-efficiency heat pumps that heat and cool
• Boilers and radiators for steady, even comfort
• Ductless mini-splits for zoned comfort and additions
• Packaged units and dual-fuel systems for special layouts

We remove old equipment, handle safe disposal, and complete safety checks and code compliance. You approve the price before we begin. That is our Upfront Pricing promise.

"We are looking to replace an older gas boiler... Jimmy did a thorough job reviewing the possibilities... Looking forward to the install."

Fast, Transparent Heating Repairs

When your heat fails, you want a clear diagnosis and a fix that lasts. Our process is simple:

1. Inspect the system and run targeted diagnostic tests
2. Explain what is happening in plain language
3. Present options with transparent pricing
4. Use quality parts to make the repair

Common fixes we handle:

• Electric furnaces: fuses, relays, heating elements, blowers, thermostats
• Gas furnaces: ignition, pilot, thermocouples, flame sensors, CO safety checks
• Heat pumps: refrigerant leaks, defrost issues, airflow, motors, belts
• Boilers: circulators, zone valves, expansion tanks, safeties

Preventive Maintenance and Tune-ups

Regular maintenance helps you avoid breakdowns and high utility costs. It also protects warranties and extends equipment life. Our tune-up checklist is thorough and efficient.

What is included:

• Clean burners, blower assemblies, and coils
• Check wear on key parts and safeties
• Test and calibrate the thermostat
• Measure refrigerant levels and assess airflow on heat pumps
• Secure electrical connections and lubricate moving parts
• Inspect and replace air filters as needed

Pro tip: Two tune-ups per year help ensure performance during the worst weeks of winter and summer. Knox sees big temperature swings, which can stress components.

Heat Pump vs. Furnace vs. Boiler vs. Mini-Split

Every home has unique needs. We help you choose the best fit based on comfort goals, existing infrastructure, and budget.

• Heat pumps: Efficient heating and cooling in one system. Excellent for moderate winter days and year-round comfort. Pair with a furnace for hybrid efficiency in deep cold.
• Gas furnaces: Strong, fast heat for Northwest Indiana winters. Modern variable-speed models are quieter and more efficient.
• Boilers: Ideal for older homes with radiators or radiant floors. Provide even heat and cozy comfort.
• Mini-splits: Great for homes without ducts, additions, or zoned comfort. High efficiency and precise control.

We also discuss ductwork, zoning, and indoor air quality so your whole system works together.

Cost Factors and How to Save in Knox

Pricing depends on equipment type, efficiency level, home size, and any duct or electrical updates. We keep it predictable with Upfront Pricing and multiple ways to save.

Ways to reduce total cost of ownership:

• Right-size equipment to avoid waste
• Keep filters clean and ducts sealed
• Schedule seasonal maintenance to prevent costly failures
• Ask about financing and warranties to manage risk
• Use our seasonal specials for tune-ups and repairs

"Technician Dan and Alex are great representatives... Highly recommended!"

24/7 Emergency Heating Service

Lake effect cold does not follow business hours. When your furnace or boiler quits at night, we answer the phone and roll a fully stocked truck. Our techs are drug tested, background checked, and certified. Most emergency repairs are completed in a single visit. If replacement is the smarter move, we can install same day in many cases.
