“Furnace went out on a Sunday night. AK had a tech in the driveway in 90 minutes, parts on the truck, and we were warm before kids' bedtime. Worth every dollar of the maintenance plan.”

Customer Reviews
What NE Ohio says about AK Heating & Cooling
4.9 avg· 72+ reviews
“Our restaurant walk-in went down at 6am. AK answered the after-hours line on the second ring and had us running before lunch service. We've switched all of our refrigeration work to them.”
“Had Generac install, AC tune-up, and a humidifier swap done across two visits. One bill, one company, real techs. This is what local service is supposed to feel like.”
Clark's Tip · HVAC Maintenance
Don't ignore the condenser coils
Clean those condenser coils every 3 months. A coil packed with grease or dust forces the compressor to run hot, and a blown compressor is a really bad day. Fifteen minutes of cleaning saves you thousands.
