Our AC and furnace repair in Topeka, KS, gets your home comfortable again in any season, with a clear diagnosis and the price before any work starts. Call the office or fill out the form to get a background-checked technician on the schedule.
Topeka asks a lot of a heating and cooling system. Air conditioners run for weeks through humid summers, and furnaces carry the load through winter cold snaps. Kaw Valley Heating & Cooling has been repairing from our office on NW Furman Road since 1979, when Bob Reed started the company with financing from Onis Lemon. Today, David and Jody Lemon run it, and the standard has not moved. We tell you what is actually wrong and fix what actually needs fixing.

Signs Your AC or Furnace Needs Repair
Air conditioners and furnaces usually give some warning before they quit. These are the signs that mean it is time to call.
- AC blowing warm air
- Furnace blowing cold air
- Short, constant cycling
- Grinding, banging, or squealing
- Water leaks or burning smells
Catching a problem early usually means a simpler repair. A yellow or flickering furnace flame is worth checking right away, since it can mean the furnace is not burning cleanly. If you notice any of these, call the office and we will take a look.
AC Problems We Fix
Most AC repair calls trace back to a handful of parts. Capacitors and contactors wear out after years of starting the compressor, and a failed one can leave the outdoor unit humming without running.
Refrigerant leaks are another common cause. A system low on refrigerant cools poorly and can freeze at the indoor coil, so we find and repair the leak instead of simply topping it off. Clogged filters, dirty condenser coils, and blocked drain lines cause much of the rest, and a struggling air conditioner often leaves a Topeka home damp and sticky before it stops cooling.
Furnace Problems We Fix
Ignition problems are among the most common furnace repairs. Igniters and flame sensors wear out or get coated with residue, and when they fail, the furnace starts, shuts itself off, and tries again.
Airflow and control problems cause most of the rest. A clogged filter or worn blower motor can make a furnace overheat and shut down, and a failing thermostat or control board can make a healthy furnace look broken. We also check safety parts on every call, because a cracked heat exchanger can let exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, into your living space.
How Our AC and Furnace Repair Process Works
Every repair visit follows the same steps, whether it is your air conditioner in July or your furnace in January.

Your technician asks what you have noticed and when the problem started.

Straight advice
If a repair is not worth the money on an aging system, we tell you so.
Our technicians are background-checked and NATE certified, so the person in your home has been vetted and trained. Fill out the form or call the office to book your repair visit.
After-Hours and Emergency Repair
Our phone is answered 24/7, so an air conditioner that fails during a heat wave or a furnace that quits on a freezing night still reaches a real person. Emergency calls are handled based on the weather and how difficult the situation is, and households facing dangerous heat or cold get priority.
Regular field hours run from about 7 AM to 8 PM. If you call after that, we will tell you honestly when a technician can get there. If you ever smell gas, leave the home first and call your gas utility.
What Affects AC and Furnace Repair Cost
The cost of AC and furnace repair depends on what failed, the parts it takes, and the age and type of your system. A worn capacitor and a failed blower motor are very different jobs, so we do not quote a number before we have looked.
What you can count on is the price before we start. If a repair costs more than the system is worth, we will say so, even when AC installation and replacement or furnace installation and replacement would be the bigger job for us. Financing is available through Hearth, and first responders and military members get 10% off.
Regular AC maintenance in spring and furnace maintenance in fall catch many of these problems before they turn into a repair call.
