Who Is the Best HVAC Company in Lewis Center, Ohio?

Lewis Center, Ohio, was established in 1850 when a man named Willian M. Lewis (hence the name “Lewis Center”) sold his family's land to make room for a railroad. This started the forward progression of Ohio and its means of imports and exports.

Fast forward 150 years, Lewis Center, Ohio, is the city we now know. It’s home to Highbanks Metro Park and Olentangy Indian Caverns, and because of its close relationship with nature, it’s hard not to love it. 

However, with the development of the town came an increase in the city's population. Today, almost 30,000 people reside in Lewis Center, Ohio, and each resident has a need for heating and cooling maintenance, installation, replacement, and other services.  

In fact, our owner Scott Merritt started Fire and Ice HVAC in Lewis Center, Ohio, out of his small red truck and garage. Today, Scott still resides in Lewis Center, Ohio, and since then, Fire and Ice has grown to a company with over 45 employees that services all of Columbus and the surrounding areas.

Nevertheless, with over 200+ HVAC contractors that service central Ohio, it takes time to determine who’s the best. Some companies may wonder why we are promoting other HVAC contractors, and the answer is simple: we believe in every job we do, and we always welcome a little friendly competition.

Because of this, we have listed five of the best HVAC contractors in Lewis Center, Ohio, alphabetically. Keep in mind that choosing an HVAC contractor is only half the battle. The other half comes from the contractor's quality of work, including installation, maintenance, repairs, and any other services they provide.

Best Practices for HVAC Installation, Repair, and Maintenance in Lewis Center, Ohio

Installation

Any HVAC company can install a heating and cooling system, but are they installing it correctly? One of the biggest factors that set a good installation from a bad one is if the HVAC contractor you hired is completing a Manual J Load Calculation.

Did you know that up to 47% of all HVAC systems in US homes are the wrong size? So, when a proper Manual J Load Calculation is completed, it will account for your home's specific features to ensure your new HVAC system isn't oversized or undersized.

What does a Manual J Load Calculate? Well, I’m glad you asked! A Manual J Load Calculation will analyze:

• Your home’s heat loss and heat gain
• Your home's total square footage
• How many windows your home has
• The height of your ceilings
• Number of doors
• How many people reside in the home
• Height of ceilings
• Whether the house has a basement or is on a slab
• And much more!

Repair/Replacement

At Fire and Ice, we understand that committing to the purchase of a new HVAC system is a considerable investment for any homeowner; however, it may not always be plausible.

This is where an HVAC repair would be the most beneficial. We strive to create a no-pressure sales environment so homeowners understand what they need versus what they want.

On average, a system diagnostic and repair will cost a lot less than a new HVAC installation, which can help homeowners save more money before replacing their system.

Nevertheless, deciding if your HVAC system needs a repair or full system replacement can be difficult. Our HVAC sales and professionals have years of experience to help any homeowner find the best option for them, their home, and their budget.

Maintenance

Did you know that your residential heating and cooling systems should be maintained by a professional at least twice a year?

Our HVAC experts suggest once in the spring before the hot summer weather hits and in the fall before the colder temperatures are in full swing. Keeping up with your HVAC system maintenance has several benefits, such as

• Keeping your warranties intact
• Greater energy efficiency
• Extend the life of your system
• Catch issues before they become detrimental to your system
• Better indoor air quality from frequent filter changes
• Maximized home comfort

Those are just a few of the many benefits of investing in regular/seasonal maintenance, and each of the reasons listed above helps homeowners save money and breathe easier.

Furthermore, if you are a homeowner that forgets to frequently change your filters or schedule your annual tune-up and checkout, then one of our maintenance agreements would be perfect for you.
