What Indianapolis homeowners say about our AC service

The techs did a real pro job at installing both my new gas furnace and air conditioner units. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful to my home. Very neat in their work and paid attention to the small details that they anticipated I would appreciate.

– Luke R., Indianapolis

When Dan came out to the house, he was kind & efficient. He explained the AC issue at hand, along with solution. He was very informative and patiently answered my many questions! We will definitely be using Howald for any future needs!

– Melissa L., Indianapolis

These are pretty much the only HVAC people I call. Generally they can solve the problem in the first visit, charge reasonable prices, arrive on time and fix it right the first time. I own a few rental homes so I really value the service.

Frequently asked questions about AC services

How often should I have my AC serviced?

We recommend scheduling a professional AC tune up twice a year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins and in the fall before winter. Annual maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, improves efficiency, ensures proper refrigerant levels and can extend your AC's lifespan.

Why is my AC running but not cooling my home?

Several issues can cause this: low refrigerant due to a leak, dirty air filter restricting airflow, frozen evaporator coils, dirty condenser coils, faulty compressor or thermostat problems. Don't try to diagnose it yourself. Call 317-649-8995 and our technicians will pinpoint the problem quickly.

How long does an air conditioner typically last?

With proper maintenance, many air conditioners last 12-15 years in Indiana. However, if your AC is over 10 years old and needs frequent repairs, or if it's no longer cooling efficiently, replacement may be more cost-effective. We'll give you honest advice about repair vs. replacement.

Should I repair or replace my old AC?

A good rule of thumb: if the repair cost is more than 50% of a new AC's price and your system is over 10 years old, replacement usually makes more sense. Modern ACs are also much more efficient. Upgrading can cut your cooling bills.

Do you offer emergency AC repair?

We offer responsive, reliable AC repair service because we know you can't wait days for relief in the summer heat. Call 317-255-4328 for an emergency. We'll get a technician to your Indianapolis home as quickly as possible.
