HVAC - normal working hours are 8-5; however, we do provide emergency services 24/7/ Do not send messages, calls only! ANGI members would get a great discount !!!!

"I can’t say enough good things about Ledlows Service! My AC was leaking freon, and they came out quickly to help. The technician was kind, knowledgeable, and very friendly—he took the time to explain everything clearly, which gave me peace of mind. What really impressed me was how fast they worked—my AC was fixed the very same day! In the middle of the heat, that kind of quick and reliable service is a true blessing. If you’re looking for a company that is professional, dependable, and genuinely cares about their customers, I highly recommend Ledlows Service. They go above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future needs."

Yes, including optimizing settings and suggesting upgrades if needed.

If a geothermal heat pump is installed correctly, then you shouldn’t have to worry about having a backup heat source such as a furnace or oil boiler. However, there are geothermal systems installed that include a backup in case the heat pump fails due to extreme cold. This is simply a backup heat pump you’ll likely never need and not an alternative heat source.

It’s a better use of energy (and your money) NOT to run an ERV system all the time. Most experts recommend that you cycle your ERV system on and off throughout the year. However, the recommended advice could change based on your climate, the number of people in your home, the size and style of your home, and your heating and cooling system. Contact a local pro for more specific advice.

There are several common types of HVAC systems that you may have, including split systems, hybrid HVAC, duct-free systems, packaged heating and air, geothermal heating, or even portable units for heating or cooling. If you aren’t sure which type is in your home or are looking to install something different, you should consult an HVAC pro to determine which option is right for your heating and cooling needs.

Geothermal systems provide energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and long-term sustainability with minimal environmental impact.
