HVAC Replacement in Columbus and Central Ohio

When a furnace or air conditioner is past its useful life, repairing it again and again stops making sense. Build a preliminary online estimate to compare system options, or call (614) 382-0000 to schedule a consultation with our heating and cooling team.

Is this what you’re seeing?

• A furnace or AC system 15 years or older that’s needed multiple repairs
• Rising energy bills without a clear cause
• Uneven temperatures between rooms or floors
• A system that’s been recalled, discontinued, or hard to find parts for
• An R-22 refrigerant AC unit that’s expensive to service
• A home addition or renovation that changed your heating and cooling needs
• Wanting a quieter, more efficient system before a Central Ohio winter or summer

Honest pricing

HVAC replacement cost depends on system size (measured in tonnage and BTUs), efficiency tier, ductwork condition, and whether you’re replacing a furnace, an AC, or both together. A straightforward like-for-like swap in a home with sound ductwork is the most predictable job. Ductwork modifications, a switch in fuel type, or upsizing for an addition add scope. The Estimate Builder gives you a preliminary online estimate based on your home’s size and system age as you describe it. Final scope and price subject to verification once our team completes a load calculation and inspects your ductwork and electrical in person. We do not quote a firm final price online, because proper sizing requires an on-site assessment.

What’s included / what’s not included

Typically included:
– Removal and disposal of the old furnace, AC, or both
– Installation of the new system sized to your home’s load calculation
– Connection to existing ductwork, electrical, and gas or fuel lines
– Startup, testing, and a walkthrough of your new thermostat and system

Typically not included unless added to scope:
– Ductwork replacement or major modifications beyond standard connections
– Electrical panel upgrades if the new system requires more capacity
– Gas line extensions for a fuel-type change
– Permit fees, which vary by municipality (permits and inspections may be required)

Why Central Ohio homes need this planned right

Columbus winters and summers both push equipment hard, so a right-sized system matters more here than in milder climates. Older homes in Bexley, German Village, and Clintonville often have original or undersized ductwork that limits airflow no matter how new the equipment is, so our load calculation checks for that before we recommend a system. Newer construction across Dublin, New Albany, and Grove City typically has ductwork sized for modern equipment, so replacements there are often closer to a straightforward swap. Homes with finished basements or additions sometimes need supplemental zoning to keep temperatures even. Our team factors your home’s actual construction into the recommendation rather than defaulting to a one-size answer.
