Customer Reviews

What NE Ohio says about AK Heating & Cooling

4.9 avg· 200+ reviews

“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.”

Mark D. · Warren, OHGoogle

“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.”

Diane P. · Niles, OHGoogle

“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.”

Tony S. · Howland, OHFacebook

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.
