Heating and Cooling Services in Lexington, Sorted by Symptom
| What you’re noticing | Most likely starting point |
|---|---|
| No heat, and you have a gas furnace | Furnace repair |
| Warm air, ice on the AC line, or a sticky house in summer | AC repair |
| A dusty furnace before winter, or an outdoor coil matted with cottonwood fluff | Furnace and AC cleaning |
| A cracked heat exchanger, or a gas furnace past 15 to 20 years | Furnace replacement |
| An old R-22 air conditioner, or a failed compressor on an aging system | AC replacement |
If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, skip the table. Get everyone outside and call Columbia Gas of Kentucky or 911.

Services This Site Doesn’t Cover
We stay with heating and cooling equipment. This site doesn’t cover heat pump repair or installation, plumbing, electrical work outside the HVAC system, boilers, oil furnaces, geothermal systems, window units or vehicle air conditioning. If your question is about one of those, a specialist in that trade is the right first step.
Getting the Most From Any Visit
Whatever service you need, a few habits make the visit go better. Write down what you’ve noticed and when it started. Find the equipment’s age on the data plate, usually inside the furnace door or on the side of the outdoor unit. Note whether the problem happens all the time or only in certain weather, since Lexington’s swings between humid afternoons and freezing nights often explain intermittent faults. Have the filter size handy, and know where the breaker panel and the furnace switch are.
For a sense of what a thorough furnace or AC cleaning should cover, ENERGY STAR publishes a homeowner-friendly maintenance checklist. It’s a useful yardstick for judging any visit, whether it’s a cleaning or a repair.
How to Use These Pages
Each service page follows a similar path: why the problem is common in Lexington, how to read the symptoms, the usual causes, how a technician should handle it, what you can safely check yourself, and answers to common questions. The goal is for you to have a clear idea of what’s happening before you speak with a provider, so the conversation starts with the right details. If you’d like to know how the connection with a provider works, the How It Works page explains each step, and the areas page lists the ZIP codes covered.
