Save thousands NOW.
No Quote Needed
That’s right. We don’t provide you with a quote because we give you the final price here and now. Get your heating and cooling needs handled without the fear of up-charges. Even all taxes are included. And don’t worry, we’ll still send you a written proposal that spells this all out.
No Down Payment
Right again. We don’t require a payment of any kind until everything is done, even if we are providing the equipment. How is this possible? Simple. This program is so popular and we are so busy that if one customer doesn’t want the furnace, the next one will.
No Ducts – No Problem
Due to popular demand (and hounding), we have added a fixed-price ductwork option. If you have a new build, if you’re doing a full-gut rehab, or if you’re replacing an old boiler system, we’ve now got you covered. Check out all the programs below for details.

About Us
Our founding company has been around since 1950, and we’ve seen a lot of furnaces and air conditioners come and go. While those of us here now were not around at that founding, we work in the shadows of those before us who moved those behemoths into place and attached the ductwork like so many octopus arms.
Today’s furnaces and air conditioners are sleek, slim, lightweight, and powerful with much higher efficiencies than their ancestors. Much has changed in the last 7 decades and, even still, much has changed even in the last 5 years. We pride ourselves on keeping up with the latest technologies in heating and cooling, and have the credentials to get the job done.

We use Guardian 95% Efficiency furnaces, sized to your needs, and Guardian 13 SEER R410 A/C systems, consisting of a properly-sized condenser and evaporator, up to 2.5 tons.
Ductwork Install Program
Because of the success of this program and demand from customers, we have introduced a duct installation program when you have us purchase equipment. If you need ductwork, we will install it also for a fixed cost. You can check out terms of this program HERE on the website.
Furnace and Air Conditioning Types
80% of the houses in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois require a standard-sized furnace and A/C package. We have defined what “standard” means and if your house is larger than, say, 2,500 square feet, you may need to kick it up a notch or two. No worries, we’ll figure that out with you.
We use Guardian® by York equipment, a Johnson Controls company. Guardian and York are leading manufacturers of HVAC equipment world-wide. Check out our sizing and pricing options below to see exactly what you will pay.
Why does some of the equipment cost me more than the standard $1,000?
We don’t mark-up equipment, plain and simple. We earn our business and pay our certified technicians with our labor costs. And there’s no secret to what our equipment or our labor will cost you because, well, we tell you right here on our website. We don’t even have any extra charges for emergency service. We keep all our equipment in stock and plan for three emergency installs every day, 7 days a week.
3 things have conspired to raise HVAC prices back in 2022, and we’re doing our best to minimize the impact on you, our customer, by giving you choices. You’ll get exactly what you need and want, and you will know right now what it’s going to cost. We do NOT need to meet with you in person and give you a hard up-sell.
Here’s what impacts our pricing…
The Usual Suspects
First, there’s that whole supply-chain thing that’s been happening since the pandemic. It hits the HVAC industry all over the place and manufacturers have passed along those costs to us.
Raw Materials
Second, there’s the rising cost of copper and the fabrication of the equipment itself. A/C uses a lot of copper in line sets and coils, so those increased costs are evident in the purchase price.
Climate-Change Agreements
Third, the Montreal Protocol and the U.S. EPA AIM Rule have enacted a phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) such as Freon R22, and R410A, the refrigerants in A/C units worldwide. We don’t know where this is all headed at the moment, but – you guessed it – it has caused increased A/C system costs.
The Bottom Line
We are at the mercy of our suppliers, and they have raised prices regularly since the pandemic. We do our level best to not just pass-on these increases to you, our customer. When the aggregate increases get too high for us to continue holding back, we reluctantly raise our prices as minimally as possible.
Furnace Sizing and Pricing
80% of houses in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois require what we call a standard furnace. If your house is larger than 2,500 square feet, or more than 65 years old, contact us and we’ll make sure you get the right size.
Standard furnaces are $1,000. Add the following for upgrades:
| Single-Stage 95% Efficient | Two-Stage 96% Efficient |
|---|---|
| 40,000 BTU – ($0, standard) | 40,000 BTU – add $291 |
| 60,000 BTU – ($0, standard) | 60,000 BTU – add $385 |
| 80,000 BTU – ($0, standard) | 80,000 BTU – add $480 |
| 100,000 BTU – add $200 | 100,000 BTU – add $575 |
| 120,000 BTU – add $300 | 120,000 BTU – add $665 |
A/C Sizing and Pricing
An A/C system consists of (1) the condenser unit (outside), (2) a line set (copper pipes), and (3) an evaporator coil (inside the furnace). This sealed system is then filled with a Freon refrigerant.
A condenser with a line set is $1,000. Add the following for coils:
| 1.5 Tons – add $500 |
| 2.0 Tons – add $500 |
| 2.5 Tons – add $500 |
| 3.0 Tons – add $700 |
| 3.5 Tons – add $800 |
| 4.0 Tons – add $900 |

New Ductwork Install Program
You can now have us install ductwork for a Fixed Cost when you participate in the We-Purchase, We-Install program. We have been hearing from new-build contractors and full-gut rehabbers that want to participate in our programs but they need ductwork for their project. Here are a few of the reasons that we’ve heard:
- Replacing a boiler system with a conventional forced-air system.†
- A “new build” that has no ductwork or walls installed yet.
- Replacing old gravity-furnace ductwork with new sizes.
Hang tight; this program is so new that we haven’t published the prices just yet.
†Yes, we can remove your old boiler system. Because of the wide variance of systems, we will have to quote that as a separate job.
