Antioch and the communities around it get the same heating and cooling work we handle everywhere in Lake County: furnace repair, AC service, heat pump installation, ductwork, thermostats, and full system replacement. Homes here range from older builds that have never had a proper load calculation to newer construction with smart controls that need programming. Whatever the system, whatever the situation, we cover it.
Call (262) 459-8289 for a quote.
We also serve Lake Catherine, Channel Lake, Lake Villa, Lindenhurst, and Bristol. If you are in any of those communities and the heat has stopped or the AC is not keeping up, the process is the same: call, describe what the system is doing, and we scope the job before anyone is dispatched. We handle the full range of residential and commercial heating and cooling work across this part of Lake County.
A call about a system that is completely down gets treated differently from a call about a system that is running but not performing well. No heat in a home on a cold night is not a wait-until-Monday situation. Emergency no-heat and no-cool calls are taken seriously, and we are available every day from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM, including weekends.
When you call, the job gets scoped on the phone. You describe what the system is doing, we ask what we need to know, and we confirm the price before anyone is scheduled. That applies to emergency calls as much as it does to tune-ups. You know what the visit covers before it starts.
For rental properties and commercial spaces, we work around occupancy. A business that has to stay open, a tenant who cannot be without heat, a landlord managing a repair from a distance: those calls come in regularly and the process handles them the same way. The job is understood before anyone is scheduled.
A lot of the housing stock in a town this size carries systems that have been in place for a long time. Some of that equipment is worth repairing. Some of it has been patched so many times that the next repair is money spent in the wrong direction. A diagnostic visit works through what is actually there before anything is recommended.
Older furnaces, air handlers, and heat pumps sometimes reach the point where the part that failed is no longer manufactured. When that happens, the question shifts from what the repair costs to whether a replacement makes more sense than hunting for a compatible component. We explain both options before any work starts.
A room addition built without extending the duct system properly is one of the more common comfort complaints in older homes. The room is served by a run that was never meant to carry enough air, or by a register that was added after the fact without a calculation behind it. Duct repair and resealing can help in some cases. In others, the distribution system needs to be reworked to match how the home actually sits now.
What the thermostat is telling you is a good place to start. A reading that does not match what the house feels like, a system that runs but does not condition the air, a unit that fires and then shuts off within a minute or two: each of those points toward something specific. The sections below cover the job types that come up most often in this area.
A boiler that is losing pressure, cycling without reaching temperature, or has a zone that has stopped responding is a different diagnostic than a forced-air furnace. Hydronic and radiant systems have their own failure points: zone valves, circulator pumps, pressure relief valves, and the heat exchanger itself. We work on both forced-air and hydronic heating.
Leaking ducts push conditioned air into wall cavities and crawl spaces before it reaches the room. The result is uneven temperatures, higher energy use, and a system that runs longer than it should to hit the set point. A duct inspection uses pressure testing to find where the air is going, and sealing addresses those points directly.
A banging, rattling, or high-pitched noise from a furnace or air handler is worth a call. Banging at startup often points to delayed ignition. A rattling blower can mean a loose component or a motor that is wearing out. A high-pitched squeal from the air handler usually points to the blower wheel or belt. None of those symptoms improve on their own.
A zoning system divides the home into independently controlled areas, each with its own thermostat and damper. When one zone stops responding or the temperature difference between floors is significant, the issue is usually in the damper, the zone board, or the thermostat signal. Smart-control installation and thermostat upgrades are part of the same scope of work.
A ductless mini-split is the right answer for a room addition, a finished basement, or a space where running new ductwork is not practical. Installation involves mounting the air handler, running the refrigerant line set, and connecting the controls. The electrical circuit and disconnect are handled by an electrician. We handle the equipment and the refrigerant side.
An AC that runs continuously without cooling the space is one of the more common summer calls. The causes narrow quickly: a refrigerant charge issue, a dirty evaporator coil that has lost its ability to transfer heat, a condenser that is blocked or has a failing fan motor, or airflow through the duct system that is not reaching the rooms. A diagnostic works through each of those in order.
A repair is the right answer when the equipment is in reasonable condition, the failure is isolated to a single component, and the cost of fixing it is proportionate to what the system has left. A ten-year-old furnace with a failed igniter is a repair. A fifteen-year-old furnace with a cracked heat exchanger, a worn blower motor, and a history of repeated service calls is a different conversation.
The question is not just what the repair costs today. It is whether that repair buys another several years of reliable operation or whether the next failure is already in the queue. We explain both sides before any work starts, so the decision is based on what is actually there.
Cold-climate heat pumps are worth raising in this context. In a region where heating carries most of the seasonal load, a variable-speed heat pump rated for operation well below freezing can handle both heating and cooling from a single system. Whole-home humidifier installation pairs naturally with a furnace replacement, because forced-air heat dries the indoor air and a whole-home unit addresses that at the source. We tell you if a permit is needed. We size the system to the home. We explain the options. The specifics for a job like this are on our services page for heating and cooling work.
The price depends on what the job actually is. A diagnostic visit, a repair, a system replacement, and a seasonal tune-up are all different conversations with different scopes. The fault that turns up, what has to be accessed to reach it, and whether repair or replacement is the better answer are the things that move a quote in one direction or another.
When you call, the scope is discussed on the phone. You get the rate before anything is scheduled, and you are told what the visit covers. Equipment is sized for the space rather than for the last unit, which matters when the old system was undersized or the home has changed since installation. If the diagnostic turns up something that changes the scope, that is explained before any additional work starts.
Call (262) 459-8289 and describe what the system is doing. We'll handle the system so you don't have to.
We cover Antioch and the communities around it throughout this part of Lake County. That includes:
If you are in any of these communities and are not sure whether we reach your address, call and ask. Coverage is confirmed on the call.
Adding a vent requires a duct extension or a new branch off the existing duct system, and the feasibility depends on the layout and whether the system has the capacity to handle the additional airflow. We scope that on the call rather than giving a blanket answer, because the right answer depends on the specific property.
In many cases yes. Zoning uses motorized dampers in the ductwork controlled by a zone controller and separate thermostats for each area. The feasibility depends on the duct layout and the equipment already in place. Call us and describe the property and we will tell you whether it is a practical option.
Weak airflow is most often caused by a clogged filter, a blower motor that is underperforming, or duct leakage pulling air out of the system before it reaches the room. It can also be a sign of a failing capacitor on the blower, which is worth checking before it takes the motor with it.
Describe what the system is doing, what it is not doing, and roughly how old the equipment is. If there has been recent service or a known issue, mention that too. The more detail you can give on the call, the more accurately we can scope the job and confirm the price before anyone is scheduled.
The technician takes reasonable care moving through the property. If you have flooring you are concerned about, mention it when you call and we will note it for the visit. Specific protection arrangements are easier to plan before the visit than to sort out on the day.
Coverage is confirmed on the call, and Antioch and the surrounding communities in Lake County are part of the area we serve regularly. The process is the same regardless of which town the property is in: the job is scoped on the phone, the price is confirmed, and the visit is scheduled.
Call (262) 459-8289 and we will confirm coverage for your address.
Yes. A forced-air furnace and a ductless or window-type cooling unit are both within the scope of what we handle. If the addition was never properly connected to the central system, that is also a conversation worth having on the call, because a ductless mini-split installation may be a more practical long-term answer than extending the existing ductwork.
One call is all it takes to get it looked at. Once someone has actually seen the equipment, you know whether it is worth keeping, what it would take to fix it, and what a replacement would involve. That answer is worth more than any estimate made without opening the unit.
Call (262) 459-8289.
We are available every day from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM. We find it. We fix it. We test the airflow.

Heating and cooling work in Antioch covers a wide range of jobs, from a furnace that won't fire on a January morning to a full system swap before a tenant moves in. We scope every job on the call before anyone is scheduled, so you know what the visit covers and what it costs. The table below lays out what each service includes, who it fits best, and what is worth knowing before you call.
| HVAC Service | What the Service Includes | Common Needs | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seasonal Maintenance & Tune-Ups |
| Homeowners who want to catch small problems before they become no-heat or no-cool calls | A fall tune-up before the first hard freeze costs far less than an emergency call in January |
| Heat Pump Repair & Service |
| Homes with an existing heat pump that is losing efficiency or not heating in cold weather | Airflow problems at the air handler can look like a refrigerant issue, so we check both before quoting any repair |
| HVAC System Installation & Replacement |
| Homes or rental properties where the current system is past repair or no longer keeping up with the load | Equipment is sized for the space rather than for the last unit, which matters when the old system was undersized |
Every job is different, and the right answer for your home or property depends on what the system is actually doing. Call us at (262) 459-8289 and we will scope it on the call.
