The visit starts with a diagnosis, not a parts list. The person who comes out checks refrigerant charge, airflow, and controls before drawing any conclusion, because the symptom a system shows and the fault that caused it are not always the same thing. Once the cause is clear, the repair is explained and priced before any work begins. That is what the visit looks like, whether the call is about a furnace that stopped mid-season or a central air system that runs but does not cool.
We cover heating and cooling repair, installation, replacement, and seasonal maintenance for homes and businesses across Exeter and Rockingham County. Older properties in this part of New Hampshire often run on equipment that has been working hard for a long time, and the calls we take reflect that: boilers that need attention, oil systems that are candidates for conversion, and homes that were built without ductwork and need a different approach entirely.
Whatever the situation, call (978) 992-9593 and we will scope the job before anything is scheduled.
When a heating or cooling system stops working, the call goes somewhere that can move. We take calls every day from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, including weekends, and emergency heating and cooling calls are handled within those hours. If the heat is out and the house is cold, or the AC has failed during a stretch of humid summer weather, that is the kind of call we take.
Appointments are confirmed on the phone. The scope, the price, and what the visit covers are all settled before anything is booked. For tenants and businesses that need to stay open during the work, that is a conversation we have on the call so the visit is arranged around what the property actually needs.
When you call, have a basic description of what the system is doing ready. Is it running but not heating or cooling? Cycling on and off more than usual? Not responding to the thermostat at all? That information lets us ask the right follow-up questions and scope the job accurately.
We will ask about the equipment type, roughly how old it is, and what you have already noticed. From there, the price for the visit is confirmed before it is scheduled. You are not waiting until someone is standing in your house to find out what it costs. Know the price. Know what the visit covers. Know what comes next.
A repair makes sense when the fault is specific, the equipment is in reasonable condition, and fixing it returns a system that will run reliably through the next season. A failing capacitor on a condenser unit, a stuck zone valve on a boiler, or a thermostat that has lost communication with the air handler are all jobs where a repair is the clear answer.
Replacement becomes the better conversation when the equipment is old enough that a repair is likely to be followed by another one, or when the cost of the repair approaches a meaningful share of what a new system would cost. We go through that honestly. You get told when a repair is not going to hold. There is no value in spending money on a fix that buys a few months and nothing more.
The age of the equipment matters, but so does what kind of shape it is in. A well-maintained boiler in a Rockingham County home may have years of service left. A neglected system of the same age may not. The assessment covers both.
Standing water near an air handler or furnace usually points to a blocked condensate drain or a drain pan that has cracked or corroded. Left alone, the moisture causes damage to the surrounding area and can affect air quality. The visit traces the source, clears or replaces the drain path, and confirms the condensate is routing correctly before sign-off.
A duct system that leaks loses conditioned air before it reaches the rooms it is supposed to serve. The result is uneven temperatures, a system that runs longer than it should, and energy use that does not match what the house actually needs. We test the duct system, locate the leaks, seal them, and recheck airflow. This is often the job that explains why one room in the house has never been comfortable, even when the equipment itself is fine.
A dirty or damaged evaporator coil restricts heat transfer and can cause the coil to ice over, which shuts down cooling entirely. Coil cleaning is part of seasonal AC maintenance, but a coil that has been running dirty for a long time may need repair or replacement. The visit covers a full inspection before any recommendation is made.
A cracked heat exchanger on a gas furnace is a safety issue, not just a performance one. Combustion gases can enter the air stream when the heat exchanger fails, and the problem is not always visible without a proper inspection. We check the heat exchanger as part of any furnace diagnostic and as part of annual furnace maintenance. If there is a crack, we explain what that means and what the options are.
A compressor that has failed or a condenser unit that is not running properly affects the whole cooling side of the system. Refrigerant leak diagnosis, condenser coil condition, and electrical controls are all checked before a verdict on the compressor is given, because a misdiagnosis here is an expensive one. We work through the full picture before recommending a repair or a replacement of the outdoor unit.
Alongside these specific faults, we handle thermostat and smart-control installation, central air installation for homes that are adding cooling for the first time, and code-compliant HVAC work across the full range of residential and commercial equipment.
The price is shaped by what the fault turns out to be, what has to be accessed to reach it, and whether a repair or a replacement is the answer that actually makes sense. A straightforward repair on an accessible component is a different scope from a job that involves pulling equipment or working through a system that has not been properly maintained.
What changes a quote is the actual condition of the equipment once it is looked at, and whether the work turns up something that was not visible from the outside. That is why the diagnostic comes before the price is confirmed for the repair itself. We tell you what we found, what the repair involves, and what it costs before anything is ordered or started.
Diagnosed properly. Explained clearly. Priced before the work.
For seasonal tune-ups and maintenance visits, the scope is confirmed on the call. Any change to the scope is discussed with you before the work continues.
We serve Exeter and the surrounding communities across Rockingham County. That includes:
If you are in a nearby town not on that list, call (978) 992-9593 and we will confirm coverage for your address.
We handle residential and commercial HVAC work throughout the area, from single-family homes to rental properties and small commercial buildings. Before booking anything, our heating and cooling services page is worth a read.
Modern air-source heat pumps, including ductless systems, are designed to operate at low outdoor temperatures and handle heating through a typical New England winter without difficulty. Performance at the coldest end of the season depends on the specific equipment and how the system is sized for the space. We go through that on the call so the equipment chosen matches what the property actually needs.
The main things to have ready are the type of heating equipment currently in the home, roughly how old it is, and whether the home has existing ductwork. That lets us ask the right follow-up questions and give you an accurate picture of what the equipment side of a conversion involves. The gas line and any new electrical circuits are separate trades. We handle the heating and cooling unit and its installation.
Yes. We are available every day from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, including Saturdays and Sundays. Weekend scheduling works the same way as any other day.
Call (978) 992-9593 and we will find a time that works.
It often does. Older homes in this part of New Hampshire were frequently built without central ductwork, which means a ducted central air system requires either adding ductwork or choosing equipment that does not need it. A ductless mini-split is a common answer in those situations, handling both heating and cooling without running new ducts. We scope what makes sense for the specific property on the call.
Call (978) 992-9593 and the conversation starts with the equipment: what it is, what it is doing, and what the situation calls for.
By the end of the call, the visit is scoped, the price is confirmed, and the appointment is on the schedule. That is what we ask, and that is what you have booked.
Call us at (978) 992-9593, every day from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

Below is a plain look at the heating and cooling work we handle across Exeter and Rockingham County. Each service is described by what it covers, who it fits best, and one practical detail worth knowing before you call. If a job on this list sounds like what you need, call us and we will scope it out before anything is scheduled.
| System Service | What It Covers | Common Needs | Helpful Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indoor Air Quality & Air Filtration |
| Older buildings with minimal filtration, or households where air quality and allergen reduction matter | Many pre-war and mid-century homes in Rockingham County run with minimal filtration. A properly sized filtration system makes a measurable difference to what the air handler circulates through the space. |
| Full System Installation & Replacement |
| Homeowners and building owners replacing an aging or failed HVAC system, or upgrading to a properly sized unit | When both the heating and cooling sides are being replaced at once, sizing the new system correctly for the space is the most important step. We go over the equipment options and the full scope before anything is ordered. |
| Seasonal Maintenance & Tune-Ups |
| Homeowners and property managers who want to catch problems before they become emergency calls | A maintenance visit before the season starts is the most cost-effective way to avoid a no-heat or no-cool call later. We check the full system and tell you what we find before any repair is recommended. |
