HVAC services in Winchester, KY
Next Level Heating & Air is a licensed, locally owned HVAC company serving Central Kentucky since 2006. AC, furnaces, heat pumps, ductwork, air quality, and 24/7 emergency service in Winchester and Clark County.
From our shop in Richmond, Winchester is one river crossing away
KY-627 over the Kentucky River at Boonesborough, about 18 miles and 25 minutes door to door. We’ve been running that route for years; 40391 is one of our regular service zips.
Everything we handle in Winchester
Whether the house is a hundred years old or brand new off the bypass, the service list is the same: complete heating, cooling, ductwork, and air quality, from one licensed local crew. Here’s what we cover in Clark County.
Cooling
AC repair, replacement, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits. Winchester’s Victorian-era homes downtown often can’t take conventional ductwork without losing what makes them special — mini-splits solve that cleanly.
Heating
Furnace repair and installation, heat pump service, and boiler repair — older Winchester homes still running hydronic heat included. We service every major brand and install as authorized Day & Night and Goodman dealers.
Air quality, ductwork, and geothermal
Duct cleaning and sealing, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation, filtration upgrades, and geothermal for rural Clark County properties.
Maintenance, new construction, and emergencies
Seasonal tune-ups, complete HVAC for Winchester’s active new-construction market, and 24/7 emergency response.

Serving Winchester homeowners
Winchester’s housing splits two ways: the Victorian and early-1900s homes around the Main Street historic district, and the newer subdivisions filling in near I-64. The historic homes need retrofit skill — high ceilings, plaster walls, original radiators. The new builds need a company that will service builder-grade equipment honestly instead of pushing an early replacement.
Clark County summers are as humid as anywhere in the Bluegrass, and downtown’s older homes without modern returns feel it worst. Right-sized equipment and tight ductwork matter more here than an extra ton of capacity — that’s the assessment we give, free, before any install.
We may be the folks from the other side of the river, but we bring the same deal we give Richmond: $89 trip charge, upfront pricing, and a 5-star track record built over nearly two decades. Have an Ale-8 waiting and we’ll get along fine.
Clark County’s rural side matters too — farm properties toward Becknerville and the river corridor often run on heat pumps and propane, and we service both as everyday work rather than a specialty.
“My boiler stopped working in January. This team came over and diagnosed and repaired on the same visit. They had the right parts and repaired my system quickly. They did not charge an evaluation and return trip. Very reasonable, very professional.”

AC installation in Winchester, KY
Installing a new air conditioner in Winchester means accounting for your home’s specific situation. The historic homes in Thomson neighborhood often have ductwork that needs evaluation before a new system is specified. Newer builds in Royal Oaks and Deerlawn along Paris Road are more standard. Next Level Heating & Air does a load calculation for every installation — not a square footage estimate — and gives you written equipment options with clear pricing.

“Andrew is simply a magician. I’ve had several companies come out and everyone recommended a full replacement. I called Next Level and he was out here for an hour and had it running — it didn’t even need the parts the other companies said it did. I genuinely would recommend Andrew and his crew to ANYONE. 10/10 experience.”

Frequently asked questions
Do you serve all of Winchester and Clark County?
Yes — the city, the neighborhoods off the bypass, and the rural routes across Clark County. We’ve serviced Winchester zips continuously over the past year.
How quickly can you get to Winchester?
About 25 minutes from Richmond via KY-627. Same-day service on most calls — and the emergency line at (859) 544-3440 runs 24/7.
Is the trip charge the same in Winchester?
Yes — $89 flat. Crossing the river doesn’t cost you extra.
Do you work on older and historic homes?
All the time. Boiler repair, mini-splits for homes without ductwork, and careful retrofits that respect the house.
Do you offer maintenance plans for Winchester homes?
Yes — seasonal tune-ups on a schedule, priced the same in Clark County as at home. It’s the cheapest insurance a system can have.
Do you install new systems in Winchester?
Yes — free estimates, financing, factory warranty registration, and our lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every installation. Call (859) 544-3440 to set up an assessment.
Who repairs boilers in Winchester, KY?
Next Level Heating & Air repairs boilers and hydronic heating systems in Winchester and Clark County — including same-visit repairs when parts allow. Many HVAC companies won’t touch boilers; we service them routinely in Winchester’s older housing stock. Call (859) 544-3440, including for winter no-heat emergencies.
How do you cool a Victorian home without damaging plaster walls?
Ductless mini-splits or a careful high-velocity retrofit — both cool historic homes without cutting big duct chases through plaster and trim. Next Level Heating & Air does this retrofit work throughout Winchester’s Main Street historic district and can walk your house before recommending either.
Why is my downtown Winchester house so humid in summer?
Older Winchester homes often lack proper return airflow, and an oversized AC that short-cycles never runs long enough to pull moisture out. Right-sizing the equipment, improving returns, or adding whole-home dehumidification fixes it — Next Level Heating & Air assesses all three free before quoting.
Heat pump repair and installation in Winchester, KY
Next Level Heating & Air repairs and installs heat pumps in Winchester, KY. A common misdiagnosis in Clark County: homeowners calling about a heat pump “blowing cold air” during the defrost cycle — which is normal heat pump operation, not a failure. We know the difference. When something is actually wrong — defrost sensor, reversing valve, refrigerant — we fix it on the first visit.
HVAC maintenance in Winchester, KY
Annual HVAC maintenance matters more in Winchester than in Lexington because the heating system works a bit harder here in winter. Next Level Heating & Air offers spring AC tune-ups and fall furnace tune-ups in Winchester, KY — $120 flat rate each, documented for warranty purposes. Our maintenance plan covers both seasonal visits under one annual agreement.
