Silver Lake is a tight-knit community that exudes ‘Eagle Pride’ on and off the football field, and we’ve loved serving the community for over 45 years. But in Silver Lake, your HVAC system has to handle Kansas heat, Kansas cold, and everything in between.
Kaw Valley Heating & Cooling has been serving Topeka, Lawrence, and Shawnee County since 1979, and Silver Lake is one of our regular stops.
Whether you’re heading out to support the Eagles on a Friday night or just getting home from work in Topeka, you want a comfortable house to come back to. Here are the services we give you.
If your air conditioner is short-cycling (starting, shutting off, then starting again), blowing warm air, leaking water around the unit, or making any strange sounds it didn’t make last summer, call us for AC repair ASAP. Common problems include low refrigerant from slow leaks, failed capacitors after summer storms, and frozen evaporator coils from weak airflow. That’s where we’ll come out to your house, diagnose the issue, and walk you through a fix. We won’t try to upcharge you or anything, and we’ll explain exactly what’s happening before we begin any work.
If your AC unit’s on its last legs and it’s finally time for a replacement, we’ll be hands-on in helping you pick out a good unit that’s right for your home and budget. Most central AC units last 12 to 15 years here. We offer free in-home estimates, financing on higher-efficiency units, and we install all major brands.
Most Silver Lake homes run on natural gas through Kansas Gas Service, and properties on the rural edges sometimes use propane. We service both. Common winter calls include ignition failures, blower motor problems, cracked heat exchangers, and thermostat issues. When the Kansas wind chill hits -10°F in February and your furnace dies at 2 a.m., we’re here for you.
Heat pump technology has made leaps and bounds, and they’re a great option for homes in Silver Lake. They handle both heating and cooling with a single piece of equipment. Likewise, ductless mini-splits help you control the temperature in different parts of the house. Perfect for additions or older homes without ductwork.
The air quality matters. Don’t take the air you breathe for granted; Silver Lake can be tough on your lungs, what with all the field dust and the Cottonwoods around. Indoor air quality options are great additions, especially if you or anyone in your home has allergy problems or respiratory conditions. We install whole-home air purifiers, UV lights, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and high-efficiency filtration that catches what your standard one-inch filter misses. Quality IAQ can actually help lower bills and help your HVAC run more efficiently.
We’re proud to have had mobile home HVAC as a staple of our services since day one. Today, it’s about 25 percent of what we do. Manufactured homes need equipment built specifically for them. Residential units aren’t interchangeable, and using the wrong equipment causes airflow problems and premature failures. If you live in a mobile home in or near Silver Lake, we can easily service or replace your system.
We also service light commercial HVAC services for small businesses, offices, and remodels in and around Silver Lake. If you’re a small business looking to upgrade your HVAC during or after a remodel, we’re the crew to call.
We love being a trusted company that sits right in the Goldilocks zone: small enough to build bonds with neighbors, learning your name and home; big enough to staff 24/7 phones and stock parts for every major brand.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Whether your AC is on the fritz, your furnace is making strange noises, or you need a new mobile home AC unit in Silver Lake, we’re here. Call Kaw Valley Heating & Cooling to schedule service. We’ve believed in “Families keeping families comfortable” since 1979.
Here are common questions we hear in Silver Lake.
We can get to you in about 10-20 minutes from our HQ in Topeka. It’s a quick drive west on Highway 24. Our phones are answered 24/7 for any critical breakdowns.
Absolutely, we’re very familiar with homes from every era. Older Silver Lake homes benefit well from ductless minisplits. They install fast and don’t need any ductwork installation. Whatever your situation (or your home’s age), we’ll inspect your system and suggest a good way forward for you.
If you maintain it well, it should last upwards of 15 to 20 years. Once it creeps past the 15-year-old mark, repair calls will likely add up. At the very least, its efficiency drops to the point that it’s a problem. If you’re getting estimates over $1,500 to keep an older furnace running, replacement is likely your best option.
Yes! We offer financing options on installations, including low monthly payments to make prices more manageable for you. We believe a big AC job isn’t something you can put off, and you shouldn’t be suffering from sticker shock. We help our neighbors how we can.
