In Lawrence, we’re known for temperature extremes, with a record high of 114 degrees over the summer and a record low of -25 degrees in winter. Even our average summer temperatures creep into the high nineties, and in the winter they dip below zero. That’s why HVAC services in Lawrence, KS, are so integral to your quality of life at home.
There are very few months during the year when you don’t need some sort of indoor temperature control to ensure not just your comfort, but your health and safety. That’s why Kaw Valley Heating & Cooling is here for you at all times of the year, with 24/7 emergency services available when you need them.
When you work with us, we do our best to foresee potential problems with your system through ongoing maintenance. But we’ll never leave you alone in a crisis. Call us to learn more about how our technicians can help you.
Whether you’re in a century-old craftsman near Massachusetts Street or a newer build out toward Clinton Parkway, the HVAC demands are real. And Kaw Valley has been meeting them in Lawrence since 1979.
Whether you live in Prairie Park or West Lawrence, we will provide you with the AC services required to keep your home cool in the warmer months.
If your AC system is too old or requires constant repairs, there is no reason you shouldn’t look to get a new AC installation. At Kaw Valley Heating & Cooling, we are with you every step of the way, from an initial consultation and free estimate to the final inspection to ensure your unit is functioning properly.
Air conditioners are major purchases that typically last over a decade, so you’ll want to work with a professional to understand what your options are, what fits within your budget, and which brands are most reliable.
No HVAC in Lawrence is complete without heating. A furnace keeps you warm during the winter months, but also maintains the status quo in your home. Without a working heating system, you may be left with frozen pipes and other complications. Kaw Valley Heating & Cooling will collaborate with you to ensure your heating can handle the cold temperatures in Kansas.
Worried about that banging noise coming from your furnace? We are too. That’s why we respond as soon as possible when you call us for heating repairs. Ideally, we will avoid the worst-case scenario of a full heating system breakdown in the dead of winter, but if it does happen, we are ready to jump in and repair or swap our your broken heater.
Replacing a heating system is one of the bigger home decisions you’ll make, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. A few things we work through with every Lawrence customer:
Did you know that heat pumps have increasingly become popular in cities with climates with cold weather, like Lawrence? That’s because HVAC technology has improved so drastically, even within the last 10 years. Heat pumps used to be a liability in freezing temperatures, as the units themselves would freeze. Now, they are reliable sources of heating and cooling, no matter the weather.
At Kaw Valley Heating & Cooling, we offer full heat pump installation in Lawrence, KS for system replacements, new installs, and ductless mini-split configurations for homes that don’t have existing ductwork or need independent temperature control in specific rooms. Heat pump repair in Lawrence gets the same 24/7 response as any other HVAC emergency. A broken heat pump in February is just as urgent as a broken AC in July!
Below, learn more about our other offerings as an HVAC company in Lawrence. We go above and beyond simple AC and heating repairs to serve our customers’ most salient needs.
Lawrence indoor air quality has a specific challenge: humid summers followed by very dry heated winters means the air inside your home is working against you year-round.
We offer whole-home air filtration, humidifiers and dehumidifiers, UV air purifiers, and ventilation services. If someone in your household has allergies, asthma, or respiratory sensitivities (and Lawrence’s spring pollen season is genuinely rough), a conversation about your indoor air is worth having.
Commercial HVAC services in Lawrence, KS, cover the range of what light commercial properties need: the retail and restaurant corridors along Massachusetts Street and 23rd Street, office buildings, the businesses clustered around the Iowa Street commercial strip, and small industrial facilities on the edges of town. KU alone generates significant demand through off-campus commercial properties.
We service, repair, and install heating and cooling systems for light commercial customers throughout Douglas County, with the same 24/7 availability and fast response that residential customers get.
HVAC maintenance is a critical part of caring for your heating and cooling system. At Kaw Valley Heating & Cooling, we offer maintenance plans with options for seasonal maintenance. Requesting maintenance services will improve the functionality of your HVAC system and increase its longevity.
Kaw Valley Heating & Cooling is one of the few HVAC companies that specializes in services for mobile homes. These HVAC systems tend to be different from other residential units, so it is important to work with service providers who know what they are doing.
Mobile home HVAC has been part of our business since 1979 and currently represents a large share of what we do. It’s a service we’ve built real expertise around over four decades.
Here are common questions Lawrence residents ask us.
Yes. But with a caveat that matters in this climate. Older heat pump technology struggled once temperatures dropped below 35°F, which made them a real liability in Douglas County winters. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are rated to maintain effective heating performance down to 0°F and below.
Whether a heat pump is the right choice for your specific home depends on factors like your existing ductwork, current fuel type, and how the house is insulated. We’ll give you an honest read on whether it makes sense before recommending one.
It usually comes down to age and access. Older systems were built in eras when HVAC wasn’t part of the original design. Systems were added later, often in ways that compromise efficiency or make service more difficult. This doesn’t mean repairs are impossible or dramatically more expensive, but it does mean you want a technician who knows what they’re looking at.
Our team has worked extensively throughout Lawrence’s older housing stock and we factor access and complexity into our estimates up front.
The rule of thumb we use: if the repair costs more than half the price of a replacement unit, and the system is more than 10 years old, replacement usually wins on a cost-per-year basis. Lawrence summers are long and hard on AC systems. If you’re seeing your third or fourth repair in two years, that pattern is more useful information than any single estimate.
We’ll tell you honestly which direction makes more financial sense for your situation, including what a new high-efficiency system would save you monthly on utility bills versus what you’d spend keeping the current one running.
A few things worth knowing before you call. We offer free estimates on all replacement and installation jobs. No cost to understand your options before committing to anything. For customers who need financing, we work with Enhancify, which offers 0% APR financing for up to 18 months for qualified applicants.
We also offer a 10% discount for seniors, military personnel, and first responders. If you think you qualify, just mention it when you call and we’ll confirm before scheduling.
