Furnace repair in Richmond, KY — your local heating team
Richmond’s furnace repair team — call now. $89 trip charge. Same-day when available. Local crew.
We’re not driving in from Lexington
Next Level Heating & Air is based right here at 1024 Race St in Richmond, which means we’re usually closer to your door than any other HVAC company you’d call.
We’ve been repairing furnaces in Madison County for 19 years. When your heat goes out in the middle of a Kentucky winter, that local presence matters — especially when you need same-day emergency HVAC repair and don’t have hours to wait.
Furnace repairs we handle in Richmond
No heat
The most common calls we get. Usually ignitor, thermocouple, gas valve, or flame sensor. Ignitor failure especially — it’s the most common single-point failure on gas furnaces, and one a seasonal furnace tune-up typically catches months before it leaves you without heat.
Furnace fires up and shuts down
Pressure switch or flame sensor most often. The furnace is trying to work but something in the safety sequence is stopping it.
Blower problems
Furnace heats but the fan doesn’t circulate it well, or the blower runs constantly. Motor bearings, capacitor, or control board.
Unusual noises
Banging on startup (delayed ignition from dirty burners), squealing (blower motor), rattling (loose components). We diagnose by listening before opening anything.
Heat exchanger inspection
Every gas furnace diagnostic includes a heat exchanger check. A cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk and we don’t skip that step.
Local means accountable
When you hire a company that’s based in your town, they have something to lose if they do bad work. Their neighbors see their truck. Their kids go to the same schools. That accountability matters in a way that a franchise operation can’t replicate.
We’ve built our reputation in Richmond one job at a time. A 5.0-star rating and 19 years in business doesn’t happen any other way.
A Richmond customer dealing with a complete heating failure was back up and running the same day — faster than he thought possible. His words: exactly how a local business should operate.

Richmond homeowners who work with us once tend to call back
Every review we’ve earned came from a Richmond or Central Kentucky homeowner who had a real problem and got honest help. That’s the whole business model.
The group at Next Level heating and air set the bar for all other HVAC technicians as far as my family and I are concerned. Shows up on time or early for maintenance and ALWAYS goes above and beyond. My air handler showed up with a small dent in it that I was fine with and Andrew would not even consider it. He calls his supplier and get another unit and stays late to finish the job. True work ethics by him and his employees.

AC repair questions
Are you really based in Richmond?
Yes. 1024 Race St, Richmond, KY. Not a franchise, not a regional call center. Andrew and his team are local.
How quickly can you get out for a furnace repair?
Usually same-day or next-day for Richmond calls. Call (859) 544-3440 — we’ll tell you exactly what’s available.
What does the $89 trip charge cover?
The diagnostic visit. We inspect the system, identify the problem, and give you a repair quote. Repair costs are quoted separately and approved before we start.
My furnace is 20 years old — is it worth repairing?
Sometimes. An older furnace with a simple ignitor failure is worth a $150 repair. One with a cracked heat exchanger typically isn’t — in which case replacement options like a new furnace or a heat pump installation become the more sensible path. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in.
Do you check for carbon monoxide issues?
Yes — heat exchanger inspection is part of every gas furnace diagnostic. Safety is part of the job, not an add-on.
