HVAC in Harrodsburg, Kentucky

Harrodsburg has houses that were standing long before anyone thought about ductwork. Getting them comfortable is a different problem, and tearing them apart is not the answer to it.

Kentucky's Oldest Town, and Its Oldest Buildings

Harrodsburg has been here longer than any town in the state, and a good number of its houses show it. Thick walls, plaster, original windows, and floor plans laid out for fireplaces rather than air handlers.

A real time, not a hopeful one

We will tell you when we can actually be there. The companies that say twenty minutes to every caller are the ones who turn up at nine at night.

Work up here gets scheduled rather than squeezed in, which is usually better for you anyway, because it means the technician arrives with the right parts instead of a promise to come back.

Worth the drive for the right work

Replacements, installations, and maintenance agreements are what we build. If you need us for a single small repair on a Tuesday afternoon, we will tell you honestly whether we are the right call.

Newer homes

Comfort Without Taking the House Apart

The problem in an old Harrodsburg house is rarely the equipment. It is that there is nowhere for the air to go.

Plaster walls, no chases, no attic worth using, and rooms that were laid out around fireplaces. A contractor who only fits ducted systems has two options in that house: cut into it until a duct fits, or tell you it cannot be done. Neither is a good answer for a building somebody has spent years looking after.

A newer house is not a simpler job. It is a different one, and it rewards a company that has seen the same system fail on the same street.

I have been dealing with an ongoing AC problem. Spencer came out and quickly diagnosed the issue, and fixed it properly. My system is now running better than it has in a while. Very knowledgeable and friendly technician! Highly recommended!

EM Emily Mccomas Google review, 2 months ago

Great service from someone that I trust, which is really satisfying in today's world. Very professional and knowledgeable. Pointed out a potential concern that had been missed by original installers as well as any bi-annual maintenance service. Fix was quick and saved a future potential major problem. Feel as if AC and heating now in good hands.

AJ Art Joye Google review, 2 months ago

Of course, the hottest week of the year, our AC decided to bite the dust on day one. I am glad my husband got ahold of Spencer. He came out and diagnosed the problem in minutes. He jumped straight to work going above and beyond making sure it was fixed and clean, the unit was cleaned and running like a champ!

Questions

Harrodsburg, Answered

Mostly about old houses, because that is what people ask us here.

01 Ductless

My house has no ductwork. Can I still get air conditioning?

Yes. Ductless mini splits cool and heat room by room with one small line set through an exterior wall, no duct runs and no taking the house apart.

02 Ductless

Do you install ductless mini splits?

Yes. In older Harrodsburg houses they are often the right answer rather than a compromise, and we install and service them.

03 Ductless

Will you have to cut into my walls?

A mini split needs one small penetration per indoor unit. That is the whole point of it. We will show you exactly where before anything is drilled.

04 Ductless

Where does the outdoor unit go on an older house?

Somewhere sensible, and we will agree it with you before the install rather than on the day. On a period house that is a real consideration and we treat it as one.

05 Local

Can my existing ductwork be fixed instead?

Sometimes, and it is worth checking first. If the ducts are there but were never balanced or controlled properly, that is a cheaper fix than a new system.

06 Local

Do you charge a trip fee for Harrodsburg?

No. Harrodsburg is one of the closer towns we serve, so there is no trip charge.

07 Local

Do you answer at night in Harrodsburg?

Yes. Emergencies are dispatched around the clock, six days a week.
