20years serving Columbus homeowners
Honest HVAC is rarer than it should be
We've all heard the story of the tech who said a 5-year-old furnace needed replacing. That's exactly why we started Northwind.
No commission sales
Our techs earn the same whether they fix it or replace it. So you get the truth.
Good, better, best
Every quote shows three clear options with prices, so you choose what fits.
Same-day, on time
Two-hour arrival windows and a text with your tech's photo before arrival.
Clean installs
Floor runners, shoe covers and a full cleanup. Old equipment hauled away.
If your new system doesn't keep your home comfortable the first year, we make it right or take it out. In writing.
From the owner
We fix what's broken. We don't sell what isn't.
I started Northwind in 2006 with my dad's old service van after twelve years working for a big HVAC franchise. I was tired of sales quotas that pushed families into equipment they didn't need.
Today we're a team of 28, and our techs still don't earn commission. If your furnace needs a $40 part, that's what we'll tell you.
If anything isn't right after we leave, call me. I mean that.

“Another company said our 9-year-old furnace was shot and quoted $7,400. Northwind replaced a $90 igniter. It's been running perfectly for two winters.”
“AC died during a July heat wave. They had us cool again by dinner and didn't charge a holiday fee.”
“Three clear options, no pressure. We picked the middle one and the install crew was spotless.”
“Our upstairs was always 8 degrees hotter. They fixed the ductwork and now it's even.”
“The maintenance plan paid for itself. They caught a cracked flue before it became a problem.”
“Tech texted his photo before showing up. Small thing, but it made me feel safe.”

How much does a new furnace or AC cost in Columbus?
A new high-efficiency furnace usually runs $4,200 to $7,800 installed, and a central AC $5,800 to $9,500. Full systems typically land between $9,500 and $16,000. You always get three written options before any work.
Should I repair or replace my system?
If it's under 12 years old and the repair is less than a third of replacement, repair usually wins. We'll show you the numbers and let you decide.
Do you offer emergency service?
Yes. No-heat calls are answered 24/7 from October through April, and we hold same-day slots for no-cool calls in summer.
What warranty do you offer?
New systems carry a 10-year parts and labor warranty. Repairs carry a 2-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer's parts coverage.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold Ohio HVAC license #47219, carry full liability and workers' comp, and our techs are NATE-certified and background checked.
Can I finance a new system?
Yes. We offer 0% APR options and terms up to 60 months. Pre-qualifying takes about 60 seconds and won't affect your credit score.
How long does an install take?
Most furnace or AC replacements take one day. Full systems with ductwork changes can take two.
