Heating & Furnace Service in Athens
Athens customers often discover their heater has failed only when they need it for the first time each fall. We see a pattern: the first hard cold snap fills our schedule with no-heat calls in Athens, almost all of which would have been caught by a $79 fall tune-up. We provide both — emergency repair when you need it, and proactive maintenance when you don't.
- Heater & furnace repair — gas furnaces, electric heat strips, heat pumps
- Furnace installation — 80%, 95%, and 98% AFUE high-efficiency systems
- Heat pump installation — single system for heating + cooling, federal tax credit eligible
- 24/7 emergency heating — same-night response during freezes
- Fall heating tune-ups — $79 inspection that prevents winter emergencies
Indoor Air Quality in Athens
Texas summers mean sealed homes for nine months of the year. Pollution accumulates inside. Our IAQ services address it at the source for Athens households:
- Whole-home IAQ assessment — measure what's actually in your air
- NADCA-method duct cleaning — honest yes/no recommendation, not pushy upsell
- Dryer vent cleaning — fire prevention, faster drying, longer dryer life
- UV-C purification systems — kill mold and bacteria at the coil
- Whole-home dehumidifiers — solve clammy indoor air
- Media & HEPA filtration — proper sizing for your existing system
Commercial HVAC in Athens
Athens property owners and managers benefit from our commercial preventive maintenance contracts — quarterly visits, documented inspections, written reports your insurance carrier or landlord can review on demand. We schedule commercial work for early mornings or evenings to avoid disrupting your customers.
- Commercial AC repair — rooftop units, splits, mini-splits
- Commercial heating repair — with documented combustion analysis
- Commercial HVAC installation — equipment replacement, build-outs, phased upgrades
- Preventive maintenance contracts — quarterly PM with insurance-ready reports
