When the heat goes out or the AC stops keeping up, the question is simple: who picks up the phone, and how fast can somebody be at the property. Call us and you get a real conversation about what the equipment is doing. A few questions about the system, the symptoms, and what the property needs, and we can scope the job and give you a rate before anything is scheduled.
We cover Lewiston for the full range of heating and cooling work, residential and commercial. Homeowners dealing with a furnace that will not fire, property managers coordinating service around tenants, and business owners who cannot afford a system to go down in the middle of the week all reach us the same way. One number, any hour.
Call (207) 548-5534 and we will get started. We are available around the clock, every day of the year.
Pricing for HVAC work is not a fixed number we can post on a page, because the job is never the same twice. What the fault turns out to be is the first variable. A system that will not turn on because of a failed igniter costs less to fix than one with a cracked heat exchanger. A refrigerant recharge is a different scope from a full system replacement. The equipment that has to be reached matters too, whether it is in a finished basement, an attic crawlspace, or a rooftop unit on a commercial building.
When you call, describe what the system is doing and what type of equipment you have. The person who answers knows the trade and can scope the job on the phone. The rate is confirmed before the visit is booked, and you can ask what it covers and get a straight answer. If a repair turns out not to be the right call once the system is assessed, we say so and explain why before anything is committed.
A second opinion on a replacement quote is a fair thing to ask for.
Lewiston's housing stock runs the range from older multi-family buildings to newer single-family homes, and the equipment inside them reflects that. The jobs below come up regularly across the city, and each one starts the same way: we find out what the system is doing before anything is recommended.
A heat pump that blows cold air in heating mode, or that runs in a continuous defrost cycle without recovering, is not operating correctly. The defrost cycle exists to keep the outdoor coil from icing over in cold temperatures, but when it runs too long or fails to complete, the system loses its ability to heat. A service visit checks refrigerant charge, defrost board function, outdoor coil condition, and the reversing valve that switches the system between heating and cooling modes.
Boilers heat the living space through radiators or radiant floor loops, and they are a common choice in older Lewiston buildings. A boiler that is losing pressure, cycling off on a fault code, or producing uneven heat across the building needs a diagnostic visit that covers the pressure relief valve, the circulator pump, and the heat exchanger. We service gas and propane boilers and the hydronic distribution systems connected to them.
A thermostat that is reading the wrong temperature, failing to call for heat or cooling at the right time, or simply not responding is worth replacing before assuming the equipment behind it is the problem. A smart thermostat installation also opens up scheduling and remote control, which matters for landlords managing occupied units or business owners who want to set temperatures around operating hours. We handle the installation and confirm the system is responding correctly before the visit closes.
Banging, squealing, and rattling from an HVAC unit are not sounds to wait on. Banging from a furnace or air handler often points to a loose blower component. Squealing usually comes from a worn belt or a bearing that is failing. Rattling can be a loose panel, debris in the outdoor unit, or something vibrating in the ductwork. We run through the likely sources and confirm the fix before it is done.
Uneven temperatures across a property are one of the more common complaints we hear, and the cause is usually in the distribution system rather than the equipment itself. Leaking or poorly sealed ductwork bleeds conditioned air into unconditioned spaces before it reaches the rooms that need it. A section of duct that has separated at a joint, or that was never properly sealed in the first place, can leave a room consistently cold in winter and warm in summer regardless of how hard the system runs.
Airflow restrictions are the other common source. A blower that is not moving enough air, a filter that has not been changed in too long, or a return that is undersized for the space all reduce how much conditioned air makes it to the far end of the system. A diagnostic visit covers both sides, duct condition and equipment performance, before any repair is recommended.
Zoning and comfort-control systems offer a more targeted solution for properties where different areas genuinely need different temperatures. A multi-zone setup lets a business owner keep the server room cooler than the front office, or lets a landlord give tenants in different units independent control. We scope those installations on the call and confirm what the property's existing equipment can support before anything is quoted.
A retail space, a medical office, or a restaurant that loses heating or cooling in the middle of the week does not have the option of closing until the repair is done. We work around business hours when the job allows it. Maintenance and non-urgent repairs can be scheduled for early mornings, evenings, or days when foot traffic is lightest. Emergency calls go to the front of the schedule regardless of the hour.
For property managers overseeing multiple buildings in Lewiston, coordinating service around tenants is a normal part of how we scope a job. We confirm what access is needed and when the visit will happen before anything is booked, so the property manager can communicate that to tenants rather than finding out at the last minute. Commercial rooftop units are covered as well as residential systems, and the diagnostic process is the same either way.
Fast diagnosis. Pricing set out up front. Comfort restored.
Calls are answered whenever you need to reach someone. There are no after-hours exceptions and no difference in availability on weekends or holidays. A no-heat situation in the middle of a cold night is handled the same way as a routine tune-up scheduled a week out.
When you call about an emergency, describe what the system is doing and we will confirm the scope and the rate on the call. For non-urgent work, the same process applies: call, describe the equipment and the situation, get a rate, and book the visit. We confirm what access is needed and what to expect before the visit is scheduled, so there are no open questions on the day.
For tenants and business operators who need to stay present or stay open, mention that when you call. We will work out the timing before the visit is booked rather than after.
Some HVAC problems turn out to be something the property owner can resolve before a technician comes out. It is worth running through these before picking up the phone:
If all of those are fine and the system is still not working, that is a service call.
Call (207) 548-5534 and describe what you are seeing.
We cover Lewiston for heating and cooling work across the city, and we serve the surrounding communities in Androscoggin County as well. Nearby towns we work in regularly include Auburn, Sabattus, Lisbon, Wales, and Greene. If you are not sure whether your address falls in the service area, call and ask. We will confirm coverage on the call.
Residential homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings across the area are all part of the work we do. The same 24-hour availability that applies in Lewiston applies across the county. To see how it all fits together, read our page listing every HVAC service.
We work with what the schedule allows. If a tenant is only available in the evening or on a weekend, call and we will confirm what appointment windows are open. We are available any hour, any day, so daytime availability is not a requirement.
Yes. A tripped breaker is one of the more common reasons a system will not start, and resetting it takes less than a minute. Check the breaker serving the air handler and the outdoor unit separately, since they are often on different circuits. If the breaker trips again after being reset, that is a sign of a deeper problem and a service call is the right next step.
Older buildings often have ductwork that was sized for the original equipment, which may not match what is installed now. They can also have distribution layouts that leave additions or upper floors underserved. When we scope a job in an older property, we look at the whole system, equipment and distribution, before recommending a repair or replacement, because fixing the unit without addressing the distribution sometimes does not solve the comfort problem.
A filter swap is something most homeowners can handle on their own, and we can walk you through it on the phone if you are not sure which filter fits or how to seat it correctly. If the filter is in a hard-to-reach location or the system has not been looked at in a while, combining it with a maintenance visit makes more sense.
Yes. Every installation ends with the system being run through a full operating cycle before the visit closes. The technician confirms the system is heating or cooling correctly, the controls are responding as expected, and the readings are within the normal range for the equipment. That check is part of the installation, not an optional extra.
Yes. When a system is replaced, the old equipment is taken away as part of the job. You do not need to arrange separate disposal. Confirm this when the installation is booked so it is included in the scope.
When you call, let us know the property is a rental and who needs to be reached for authorization. We will scope the job on the call and give the property owner or manager the rate and what the visit covers before anything is scheduled. We work with landlords and tenants regularly and can coordinate the timing so the visit happens when access is available and the work is authorized.
If the system is making an unusual noise, producing a burning smell, or showing signs of ice buildup, turn it off and leave it off. For a system that is simply underperforming but running normally, it is usually fine to leave it on. When you call, describe what the system is doing and we will advise based on the specific situation.
When you call, we will ask about the equipment, what it is doing, and what the property needs. By the end of that conversation you will have a rate, a scope, and a booked visit.
