At Fire and Ice, we believe in our work, and either we do the job right, or we don't do it at all. Our HVAC technicians are N.A.T.E certified, licensed, and insured. We service all brands of HVAC equipment, regardless of make and model. Your HVAC system is one of the most important pieces of machinery in your home, and you want a company that will treat it as such.

Some companies like to cut corners and only give you the service you want, not the service you deserve. We like to go above and beyond for all our customers, so we're happy to list some of our competitors so you can make the most informed decision when choosing your local HVAC contractor in Whitehall, Ohio. We invite comparison and competition because we believe in our process and people.
According to a case study by Trane, 47% of all US homes have oversized HVAC equipment. That’s almost half of all US homes, which shows that bigger isn't always better. Every contractor should perform a Manual J Load Calculation when sizing any HVAC equipment ( AC, furnace, heat pump, air handler, etc.).
The ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America) requires a Manual J Load Calculation on every installation or replacement of an HVAC system. This calculation takes your overall square footage, heat loss and gain, the number of windows and doors you have, and your home's direction.

Why Quality Matters
Oversized (or undersized) HVAC systems can cause an array of problems, including insufficient heating and cooling, lower energy efficiency, early retirement for your system, and, most importantly, wasted money.
Because oversized equipment is so common, here are a few things to look for if you suspect your HVAC system is the wrong size.
- Frequent heating or cooling cycles/ short cycling
- Hot and cold spots throughout your home
- Poor indoor air quality/ high humidity
- High electric bills
Nevertheless, we want our potential (and current) customers to have all of the facts first, which is why we have listed other HVAC companies in Whitehall, OH, so you know you're making the best choice for you, your home, and your comfort.
