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.

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.

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!

Jayson Nayuki

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
