Furnace Replacement
Replacing a furnace in Ohio? A new high-efficiency gas furnace typically costs $4,000 to $9,000 installed in Ohio, depending on size, efficiency and ductwork. Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years.AC Repair
AC not cooling in Ohio? Most air conditioner repairs cost $150 to $1,200, from capacitors and contactors to refrigerant leaks. If your system is over 12 years old and needs a major repair, get a replacement quote too.Heat Pump Installation
Thinking about a heat pump in Ohio? Cold-climate heat pumps now work well through Ohio winters, and installed systems typically cost $6,000 to $16,000. Utility and manufacturer rebates can lower the price (the federal 25C tax credit ended after 2025).HVAC Maintenance
A yearly tune-up in Ohio usually costs $80 to $200 and keeps your system efficient and your warranty valid. Service the furnace in fall and the AC in spring.- Change your HVAC filter every 1–3 months. It's the cheapest efficiency upgrade there is.
- Schedule AC service in spring and furnace service in fall, before the rush.
- A bigger AC isn't better. An oversized system short-cycles and leaves your home humid.
- Keep 2 feet of clear space around your outdoor AC unit.
- Use the $5,000 rule: if the system's age times the repair cost tops $5,000, consider replacing it.
