What Indianapolis homeowners say about our heating services
Howald technicians are always professional. We’ve used them for about 8 years for a new HVAC and then semi-annual maintenance, which has been so helpful.
–Sarah J., Indianapolis
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
Dave Bennett repaired my furnace in the evening with a few inches of snow on the ground, a winter storm expected and at the end of his 12-hour workday. He was able to get my furnace going until it could be replaced.
–Karen M., Indianapolis
Frequently asked questions about furnace services
How often should I have my furnace serviced?
We recommend scheduling a professional HVAC tune up twice a year. Annual maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, improves efficiency, ensures safe operation and can extend your furnace's lifespan by several years.
How long does a furnace typically last in Indiana?
With proper maintenance, some furnaces last up to 15 years. However, if your furnace is over 10 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective than continuing to repair it. We'll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes the most sense for your situation.
Should I repair or replace my old furnace?
A good rule of thumb: if the repair cost is more than 50% of a new furnace's price and your furnace is over 15 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We'll help you weigh repair costs against replacement benefits, including improved efficiency that can cut heating bills by 20-30%.
What's included in a furnace tune up?
Our comprehensive furnace tune up includes: complete safety inspection, cleaning and inspecting burners, testing thermostat accuracy, checking and adjusting airflow, inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, lubricating moving parts and testing carbon monoxide levels. We strive to identify any potential problems before they become expensive repairs.
Do you offer emergency furnace repair?
We offer emergency furnace repair service because we know heating problems can't wait in Indiana winters. Call 317-649-8995 for emergency service. We'll do our best to get a technician to your home as quickly as possible.
