Everything we handle across Madison County
This page is the short version of our whole company: every service we offer, offered everywhere in the county we call home. For street-level detail, the Richmond and Berea pages below go deeper.

The hometown advantage
Madison County housing covers every era — pre-war homes near downtown Richmond and Berea’s campus, ranches from the ’60s and ’70s with aging ductwork, and the subdivisions that have followed the I-75 corridor’s growth. We’ve worked on all of it, because we live here.
Being local isn’t a slogan; it’s logistics. When a heat wave hits and every company’s phone rings at once, the crews based in the county get there first. We’re not dispatching from Lexington — we’re already on your side of the river.
It’s also accountability. Andrew and the crew see their customers at the grocery store. That’s why every install carries our written lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee, and why 5 stars across our Google reviews isn’t an accident.
And because 40511 and the Lexington market sit just across the river, Madison County customers get a company big enough to run two counties but small enough that the owner still runs calls.
EKU’s campus alone keeps thousands of Richmond rentals and family homes turning over each year, and landlords across the county rely on us for documented, honestly priced service between tenants.
“Andrew showed up on time and knocked out the issue quickly. Will be my go-to HVAC guy as long as I live in Madison County.”

AC repair in Madison County
Madison County summers are hot and genuinely humid — the kind of heat that breaks down air conditioners that haven’t been properly maintained. Next Level Heating & Air provides same-day AC repair in Madison County when possible, diagnosing and fixing issues across Richmond, Berea, and every community in between. We carry parts for the brands we see most often so most repairs are completed in a single visit.
Furnace repair in Madison County
When your furnace stops working in January, you need someone who can actually get there today. Next Level Heating & Air responds to furnace repair calls across all of Madison County — including the rural addresses and unincorporated communities that other companies decline. We’re based in Richmond, which means we’re closer to most Madison County addresses than any competitor dispatching from Lexington. $89 trip charge, honest diagnosis, repair quote before we start.

Heat pump installation and repair in Madison County
Heat pumps are a strong choice for most Madison County homes — Central Kentucky’s climate is mild enough that a heat pump handles the majority of heating and cooling days efficiently. Next Level Heating & Air installs standard air-source heat pumps as well as hybrid systems paired with gas backup for the coldest winter nights. We also repair heat pumps when they fail in either heating or cooling mode, including defrost control issues that other companies misdiagnose.

AC installation in Madison County
Replacing an air conditioner in Madison County means accounting for your specific home — ductwork in older Richmond homes near downtown may need evaluation before sizing new equipment, while newer builds in Berea’s I-75 corridor are more straightforward. Next Level Heating & Air is an authorized Day & Night and Goodman dealer and installs Trane, Rheem, American Standard, and Daikin as well. Every AC installation includes a load calculation and a written quote before anything is ordered.
Furnace installation in Madison County
We install gas and propane furnaces throughout Madison County — including the rural properties outside Richmond and Berea that run on propane rather than natural gas. Authorized dealer for Day & Night and Goodman. Most residential furnace replacements are completed in one day. Written quote before we start, manufacturer warranty registered after installation.
“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.”

HVAC maintenance and tune-ups in Madison County
The most common emergency repairs we handle in Madison County could have been caught in April during a $120 spring tune-up. Next Level Heating & Air offers seasonal maintenance visits — spring AC tune-ups and fall furnace tune-ups — across all of Madison County. We document every visit, which also satisfies most manufacturer warranty requirements. Our maintenance plan covers both seasonal visits under one annual agreement.
