HVAC services in Garrard County, KY
Next Level Heating & Air has served Central Kentucky since 2006 — Paint Lick has been on our regular route for years. Licensed, locally owned, $89 trip charge everywhere, and free estimates on new systems.
Garrard County covers a lot of ground for 17,000 people
Paint Lick Creek on the east side, the Dix River and Herrington Lake on the west, and miles of farm road between. Wherever your place sits in that spread, we reach it from our Richmond shop by KY-52, usually inside 40 minutes.
Serving all of Garrard County — Lancaster, Paint Lick, Bryantsville, and the Herrington Lake shore. Free estimates: (859) 544-3440.
Everything we handle in Garrard County
County-wide coverage means exactly that: the same services, the same pricing, and the same crew whether the address is on Lexington Street in Lancaster or a farm lane out toward Bryantsville.
Cooling
AC repair and diagnostics, full replacements, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits — including older farmhouses that have never had central air.
Heating
Furnace repair and installation, heat pump systems, and no-heat emergency calls. Plenty of rural Garrard properties sit off the natural-gas grid, so we work daily with heat pumps and propane furnaces alongside gas equipment. All major brands; authorized Day & Night and Goodman dealer.
Air quality, ductwork, and geothermal
Duct cleaning and sealing, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation, and filtration. Geothermal deserves a real look out here — Garrard acreage is exactly the setting where a ground loop pays for itself.
Maintenance, new construction, and emergencies
Seasonal tune-ups and a 24/7 emergency line that covers the whole county: (859) 544-3440.

Serving Garrard County homeowners
The county’s housing runs from historic homes in and around Lancaster to working farms in the Paint Lick and Bryantsville communities to lake places along Herrington Lake. Each type asks something different of an HVAC system — retrofit skill in town, capacity and durability on the farms, humidity control at the lake.
Lake and river-adjacent homes carry moisture loads that inland houses don’t, and a system that ignores that will grow mildew before it grows old. Dehumidification and correct sizing are part of every quote we write on the west side of the county.
We’re not the closest shop to every corner of Garrard — but we’re the one that shows up, charges the same $89 trip fee it charges at home, and puts a written lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every installation. Nearly two decades in, our 5-star Google rating says the drive has never been the customer’s problem.
Well-shaded hollows, wide-open ridge tops, and lake-edge lots all heat and cool differently, and a county this varied punishes one-size-fits-all installs. Every quote we write starts with the property in front of us, not a chart.
“HIGHLY recommend! Andrew is professional, knowledgeable, explains things and is very reasonably priced. Have been using him for nearly six years, and there’s no one better!!”

Frequently asked questions
Which Garrard County communities do you serve?
All of them — Lancaster, Paint Lick, Bryantsville, Buckeye, and the rural routes off US-27 and KY-52, out to the Herrington Lake shoreline.
How quickly can you get out here?
Paint Lick is about 25 minutes from our Richmond shop; Lancaster about 35; the lake side of the county closer to 45. Same-day on most calls — (859) 544-3440.
Do you charge more for rural calls?
No. The trip charge is $89 flat, whether you’re on the square in Lancaster or at the end of a gravel road.
Do you work on propane systems and heat pumps?
Yes — both are everyday work for us in rural Central Kentucky, along with dual-fuel setups that pair a heat pump with a propane furnace.
Do you install new systems in Garrard County?
Yes — free estimates, financing, factory warranty registration, and our lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every install.
Do heat pumps work on properties without natural gas in Garrard County?
Yes — modern heat pumps heat Kentucky homes efficiently well below freezing, and pairing one with a propane furnace in a dual-fuel setup covers the coldest snaps. For rural Garrard County properties off the gas grid, it’s usually the most economical system Next Level Heating & Air installs.
Is geothermal worth it on Kentucky farmland?
Often, yes. Geothermal has the lowest operating costs of any system, and its main obstacle — space for the ground loop — disappears on Garrard County acreage. Next Level Heating & Air installs geothermal systems across Central Kentucky and will give you an honest payback estimate for your property.
How do you control humidity in a Herrington Lake house?
Lakeside homes carry a moisture load ordinary AC can’t fully handle — a whole-home dehumidifier paired with a correctly sized system is the fix. Next Level Heating & Air designs for the lake’s conditions on every Herrington Lake install and service call: (859) 544-3440.
