De Pere and the communities around it, from Ashwaubenon and Allouez to Hobart, Greenleaf, and Bellevue, are all part of the area we cover. We handle heating and cooling work across all of them: furnace repair and replacement, heat pump installation and service, AC repair, ductwork, thermostats, indoor air quality equipment, and full system replacement. Whatever the job size, the call gets the same attention and the same process from start to finish.
Call (920) 691-5628 and we will scope the job on the phone, confirm the pricing before anything is scheduled, and get someone out to the property.
We serve homeowners, rental properties, and commercial buildings throughout De Pere and Brown County. We are available at any hour, any day of the week, including weekends and holidays, and that includes no-heat emergencies in the middle of a January night.
When you call, the conversation covers what the system is doing, how long the problem has been going on, and whether anything changed before it started. Having the make and model of the equipment is useful if you can find it on the unit's label, but it is not required. We can work through the details on the call and figure out what the visit needs to cover.
What matters most is a clear description of the symptom. A furnace that runs but does not heat, a system that short-cycles, an AC that blows warm air, or a unit that has stopped responding to the thermostat entirely are all things we can scope on the phone before anyone comes out. The rate for the service call and what it covers are confirmed before anything is scheduled. You are not committed to a repair until the technician who comes out has looked at the system, explained the findings, and confirmed the scope with you.
Every call gets the same attention, whatever the job size.
De Pere's housing stock includes a lot of properties that have been through multiple owners, multiple additions, and multiple rounds of HVAC equipment. A city this size tends to have homes where the original ductwork was sized for a floor plan that no longer exists, or where an addition was finished without ever properly connecting it to the central system.
Older furnaces and air handlers are not always a problem until they are. When a system reaches the point where the manufacturer no longer produces parts for it, a repair that would have been straightforward becomes a sourcing problem. We assess what is available and what a repair would realistically cost before recommending a path forward. If replacement is the better answer, that gets explained clearly, not assumed.
A room that is always too cold in winter or too warm in summer is often a duct problem, not an equipment problem. Older homes frequently have duct runs that were undersized from the start, or sections that have come loose and are leaking conditioned air into an unconditioned space. We check the duct system when the symptoms point that way. Sealing and repairing leaking ducts can make a measurable difference in how evenly a home heats and cools, and in what the energy bill does month to month.
Pricing on an HVAC call depends on what the diagnostic actually turns up, and that is not something that can be settled before someone has looked at the system. The service call rate is confirmed when you book. Once the technician who comes out has assessed the equipment, the repair scope and cost are explained before anything proceeds.
Several things can move a quote in either direction. What the fault turns out to be matters. So does whether the repair requires accessing equipment in a tight or difficult space. Whether a repair makes economic sense relative to replacement is another factor, particularly on older systems. None of those variables are invented on the spot. The findings are explained, the options are laid out, and you decide. We will confirm the repair with you before it goes ahead.
If the diagnostic points to a refrigerant issue, a failed igniter, a coil that needs cleaning, or a heat exchanger that needs a closer look, the next step is always a conversation, not an assumption. Ask what the pricing covers when you call and you will get a straight answer.
We are available at any hour, any day of the year. That matters most when a property has no heat in the middle of winter or no cooling during a stretch of summer humidity. No-heat calls are treated as emergencies regardless of when they come in, because a heating failure in this region is not a minor inconvenience.
For rental properties and commercial spaces, we understand that the people inside cannot always wait. A tenant without heat needs the problem fixed, not scheduled for next week. A business that has to stay open needs the work done around the operation, not the other way around. When you call, the schedule is confirmed on that call, and the scope of the visit is clear before anyone comes out.
Emergency no-heat and no-cool calls are taken seriously at any hour, including overnight, on weekends, and on holidays. When you call with a system that has stopped working entirely, the job gets scoped on the phone so the visit is set up correctly from the start.
For commercial properties and occupied rentals, we work through the scheduling on the call. The goal is a visit that fits the property's actual situation, not one that assumes the building will be empty and quiet.
A system replacement is a bigger decision than a repair, and it takes more preparation. Before the work starts, the equipment has to be selected, the load has to be assessed, and the duct system has to be checked to confirm it can handle what is being installed. If the ducts need work first, that changes the staging of the job.
During a replacement, the property is without heating or cooling for the time it takes to remove the old equipment and commission the new system. That window is confirmed before the job is booked so you know what to plan for. For a home with occupants, knowing that in advance matters. For a rental property, it affects how the tenant conversation goes.
Replacement also raises questions that a repair does not. A high-efficiency furnace, a cold-climate heat pump, or a hybrid setup pairing both are all options worth understanding before a decision is made. The long heating season in this region means the efficiency difference between systems adds up over time. We walk through the options on the call and give you the information to make the decision that fits the property. Start with our list of heating and cooling services if you want the detail before the call.
Standing water near an air handler or furnace usually means a condensate line is blocked or a drain pan has overflowed. It can also point to a refrigerant issue that is causing the evaporator coil to freeze and then thaw. Neither situation improves on its own. We trace the source before recommending a fix, because the visible symptom and the actual cause are not always the same thing.
A cracked heat exchanger is one of the more serious findings on a furnace call. It is the component that separates combustion gases from the air circulating through the home, and a crack means those gases can enter the living space. The inspection involves checking the exchanger visually and under operating conditions. If a crack is found, the options are replacement of the component or replacement of the furnace, and that depends on the age and condition of the rest of the system.
Installing central air in a De Pere home that currently relies on window units or has never had cooling involves assessing the existing ductwork, sizing the system for the space, and determining where the outdoor condenser will sit. For homes without existing ducts, a ductless mini-split system is often the practical answer. Mini-splits condition individual zones without requiring duct runs, which makes them a workable option for additions, finished basements, and older homes where cutting into walls for ductwork is not realistic.
A furnace that starts and then shuts off quickly, or one that tries to ignite repeatedly without catching, is often dealing with an igniter or flame sensor problem. The flame sensor reads whether combustion has actually started. When it is coated with residue, it can fail to detect a flame that is there, causing the system to shut down as a safety measure. Cleaning or replacing the sensor is a targeted repair, but it has to be diagnosed correctly first, because similar symptoms can also point to a gas valve issue or a pressure switch fault.

If your property is in De Pere or in any of the communities around it, the call works the same way regardless of which side of a municipal line you are on.
Call (920) 691-5628 and we can confirm coverage for your address before anything is scheduled.
The scheduling is worked out on the call, and we account for the fact that the property is occupied. For no-heat situations, the call is treated as an emergency and handled accordingly. For non-emergency visits, the scope of the work and the timing are confirmed before anyone comes out, so the tenant knows what to expect. We do not require the property to be vacant to carry out a diagnostic or a repair.
We can discuss scheduling when you call and work out a time that fits the tenant's availability. Evening and weekend visits are available, and we can confirm what the schedule allows at the time of booking.
Yes. A pre-season check is the most practical way to catch a developing problem before it becomes a no-heat or no-cool emergency. A fall visit for the heating system and a spring visit for the cooling side are the two most common maintenance calls we handle.
A musty smell on startup is often a sign of moisture and microbial growth on the evaporator coil or inside the ductwork, both of which can develop over a period of inactivity. A coil cleaning or a duct inspection is usually the right starting point, and we can scope that on the call.
Yes. Older homes in De Pere often have equipment that has been in place for decades, ductwork that was sized for a different floor plan, or systems that have been patched together over time. We assess what is actually there before recommending anything, and if parts for an older system are no longer available, that gets explained clearly rather than assumed. The diagnostic covers the equipment as it is, not as it might have been originally installed.
A furnace burns fuel to generate heat directly, while a heat pump moves heat from outside air into the home using refrigerant. In this region, modern cold-climate heat pumps are rated to operate efficiently at very low temperatures, which makes them a workable option where they were not a few years ago. Some homeowners in De Pere choose a hybrid setup that pairs a heat pump with an existing furnace, letting each handle the conditions it does best. We walk through the options on the call based on the property and what the existing system looks like.
The rate for any visit is confirmed on the call before it is scheduled, and that applies to maintenance visits as well as repair calls.
Call (920) 691-5628 with the address and we will confirm what the visit covers and what it costs.
In most cases yes, but compatibility depends on the wiring configuration of the existing system. Some older systems and some heat pump configurations require specific thermostat models or an additional wiring component. We confirm compatibility before the work starts.
Whether the property is in De Pere, Allouez, Hobart, or anywhere else in Brown County, the process is the same.

| Service | What the Service Includes | Best Suited For | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| HVAC System Installation & ReplacementMost Popular | Equipment sizing and selection, Full system removal and installation, Ductwork compatibility check | Homeowners and property managers replacing aging or failing equipment | Sizing matters as much as brand. An oversized system short-cycles and an undersized one runs constantly. We assess the space before recommending equipment. |
| Heat Pump Repair & Service | Reversing valve diagnosis, Refrigerant and airflow check, Efficiency and cycling review | Properties with a heat pump that is losing heating or cooling capacity | Heat pump diagnosis requires a different approach than furnace work. The reversing valve is a common failure point that gets missed when the diagnostic skips it. |
| Seasonal Maintenance & Tune-Ups | Pre-season equipment inspection, Filter, coil, and motor checks, Refrigerant and flue review | Homeowners, landlords, and property managers who want to catch problems before a breakdown | Fall is the right time to service a furnace in Brown County. Finding a failing igniter in October costs far less than a no-heat call in January. |
