Choosing the Right Heating and Cooling Company in Obetz, OH

At Fire & Ice, we take pride in our installation process and hold our technicians to high standards to ensure the performance of your system. We believe in doing things right the first time. You should expect the same thing from any HVAC contractor you decide to work with. To help, we’ve identified five things you should look for when choosing an HVAC company.

First is the standards the company sets for its employees. Are the technicians independent contractors, or are they W2 employees with benefits? From our experience, systems installed or repaired by independent contractors are often substandard and end up costing the customer in the long run. At Fire & Ice, our employees are held accountable for the quality of their work, not just the amount of work.

Next is training. We have Central Ohio’s largest training center, where we provide our technicians with more than 200 hours of continuing education per year. We also encourage and reimburse our technicians for any HVAC certifications they earn.

The third thing is sales tactics. If you’ve ever experienced high-pressure sales, you know how uncomfortable it can be. At Fire & Ice, we understand that purchasing a new HVAC system is a big decision that will impact your indoor comfort for the next ten years or more. That’s why we never use high-pressure tactics.

Fourth is load calculations. To maximize the performance of any HVAC system, it must be properly sized for your home. And the best way to do this is to have a Manual J load calculation performed during a sales consultation. Frequently this process is skipped, and HVAC contractors will just use the same size system you previously had or take a guess based on the square footage of your home. A unit that is sized incorrectly will rob you of efficiency.

Fifth and last are installation practices. If corners are cut during installation, it’s likely your system will fail sooner than it should. It will cost you in both comfort and in the equipment’s performance. We use the most accurate digital tools and up-to-date practices to ensure your system is installed right the first time.

We also abide by a process called “commissioning.” That is a complete startup process for new heating or cooling equipment to make sure it’s operating within the manufacturer’s specifications. A good installer will check the thermostat operation, system sequence of operation, and multiple other areas. Full commissioning takes about 45 minutes per major equipment type or 60-90 minutes for an AC and a furnace.

We also return to installation sites a week or two after the job is done to make certain that the proper steps were taken. If you’re not 100% satisfied, we’ll work to find a solution to make it right.

Importance of NATE Certification

One way to ask any prospective company to see what standards they hold their technicians to is to ask about NATE.

NATE Stands for North American Technician Excellence, and being certified by this organization is considered the gold standard in HVAC. This certification ensures that contractors are knowledgeable when it comes to installation and can keep your indoor air safe.

Air conditioners and furnace installations require specialized knowledge. Hiring someone that is not certified could lead to a poor installation. Worse, the operation of your furnace or air conditioner could release dangerous gasses such as carbon monoxide into your home.

Mishandling of refrigerants can also be hazardous to you and your family. Improper handling can have serious environmental risks.

Fire and Ice has been wonderful to work with! Our new Furnace and AC are working like a dream. We had a number of places come out for estimates and Fire and Ice was the only one who actually went around and measured our windows and home and determined we should get a smaller furnace than what was installed before, saving us money both up front and on efficiency down the road. We were also impressed at the quality of the installation itself, as our old setup was clearly done without much care or thought. Fire and Ice took the time to move pipes and such that were just hanging from my ceiling before, move the humidifier to the proper side of the furnace, move over the ductwork that was not put in a good location, raise our electrical box outside away from the ground, and all kinds of little things to make sure our system runs right for a long time. It's been a few months and our setup runs perfectly. You get what you pay for, and I'm glad we paid for Fire and Ice!

When the 30 year old HVAC system in our house went out Fire and Ice was recommended to me. Brad, my sales representative, showed me a comprehensive list of my options, set me up with financing make a brand new system affordable, and professionally communicated throughout the entire process. The installers, Demetrius, Willard, and Tyler, were fantastic! They were very helpful and professional throughout the entire installation process and walked us through the ins and outs of the final product. The AC works like a dream just in time for the hot summer weather and we could not be happier! Fire and Ice is our go-to recommendation for anyone seeking HVAC work.

Our complete HVAC system was replaced a month ago. We experienced a flawless, informative process from sales to installation. Bryan, our sales pro, performed a detailed anaysis of our home's size, construction & features to develop an evaluation of our HVAC needs to offer the optimum sized equipment and has returned several times since the installation to insure it's proper functioning and our understanding of the entire system. The installation was performed within 3 days of our agreement - with the crew (Jon, Daniqua & Colby) getting the old system removed (furnace & A/C) and the new system installed in a matter of hours - they even modified ductwork and rerouted some lines originally installed by our builder to increase efficiency and give the system a cleaner appearance. Another great surprise was their tenacity with the cleanup - all their work areas were left totally spotless!!! Overall the best contractor performance we have experienced in 35 years of home ownership including having 2 homes built by the area's most reputable developers. The system runs great, is quiet and can now be operated through my phone from anywhere - even if just to insure it's running while at my winter haven. Thank You Fire & Ice!

Fire & Ice was great. Our sales rep, Bryan, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, professional, and didn’t pressure us to make a purchase. Due to our experience with him, we were already planning on using Fire & Ice to replace our old AC, but during the heat wave and storms, my once limping-along-AC decided 20 years was enough cooling and decided it’s job was done. My husband had initially set the meeting with Bryan, but was out of town, leaving me to pick up the sale. Bryan didn’t miss a beat when I emailed him asking to get a new AC installed ASAP. Within two days, my install techs, Demetrius P. and Willard J. were here to install. The excellent service continued. Both were amazing and incredibly professional, even dealing with my very vocal dog with grace every time they entered my house. They completed the job in a timely manner and everything was top notch. They were mindful of the fact that I work from home, and kept noise to an absolute minimum. By the time they left, I could feel the cool air flowing once again. They even took the time to swap out my furnace filter! Loved working with them and will recommend Fire & Ice to my friends & neighbors.

The entire process of having a new furnace and air conditioner installed was awesome. Scheduling the estimate was quick and easy and I didn't have to wait on availability. The estimate was very thorough, and Bryan was extremely helpful in explaining everything. Install was just a few days later based on my schedule (they could have installed sooner) and the install technicians (Bryan, Alontae, Von) were awesome. Very professional and courteous, adhering to local health guidelines the entire time. They also had somebody come out and take photos and videos of the install so they could use it in their training. They took the time to ensure everything was installed properly (my old install wasn't). They were also very helpful to show me everything about the system and new thermostat before they left. Bryan followed up with me a week later and stopped in to check on the install. He's awesome and having a tech come out and tweak a couple things (humidifier and thermostat) to ensure everything runs properly!

One of my good friend’s had a great experience with Fire and Ice, so I went ahead and tried them out. Amazing customers service. Brad was awesome with walking me through the process of getting a new furnace and answered all of my questions. I will be a returning customer and recommend Fire and Ice to all. Update on furnace installed: I can not praise this company enough. The technicians Floyd and Jacob were very professional and the craftsmanship was amazing. You can tell when someone takes pride in their work. Thank you for your hard work. It’s greatly appreciated.

Bryan Wade

Bryan and Nick were true professionals. They gave me a good heads up when they were going to arrive and did a great job installing the new furnace. They made sure to keep my house clean and walked me through what they did and gave me tips on how to get the best use/life out of my furnace. Will definitely recommend to a friend.

I Daniels

The two technicians arrived exactly when they said they would, immediately began to take care of business. They had more trouble than they anticipated getting the old furnace out but still pretty much finished at the time they told me. The system and heating space were left clean and tidy. they took a few extra minutes to troubleshoot my water tank to get it to ignite which was greatly appreciated. Very nice gentleman throughout the experience and gave me a thorough explanation of the paperwork and how to use the thermostat as well. Was a great experience
