Complete HVAC Solutions means the whole house: the furnace below, the thermostat and the air in the middle, the rooms above, the roof, and the condenser outside. Each floor lists its services by the names we use for them.

    A bedroom that never warms up and a landing that overheats are usually the same problem: air that is not balanced between floors. A test and balance typically measures the airflow room by room and adjusts it.

Cedarburg

Old houses, new systems.

Cream brick and limestone outside, a century of retrofits inside.

Cedarburg's Washington Avenue Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986: 80 contributing buildings in a 28 acre area, many of them built between the 1840s and the early 1900s out of locally mined limestone and fieldstone, the Cedarburg Mill and the Hilgen and Wittenberg Woolen Mills among them. Cream brick and limestone are the district's materials.

A house from that era has typically had a century of retrofits inside it. Some have ductwork that was added long after the walls went up; some have none. Plaster walls, added returns and rooms that were never on the original system are common, so a heating retrofit in a pre 1900 house usually starts with an evaluation of what is there before anyone talks about equipment.

HVAC System Evaluation, HVAC Inspection and HVAC Test and Balance are on the service list. Describe the house when you call.

Credentials

What the certifications mean.

Six lines from our own pages and from the public record, and what each one means to a homeowner. In our words: we're certified gas installers, EPA-certified, and RSES-certified since 1992, so you can rest easy knowing your heating system is in capable hands.

From our site

RSES-certified since 1992

RSES is the Refrigeration Service Engineers Society, a certification body for heating, air conditioning and refrigeration technicians. As an EPA-certified and RSES-certified since 1992 company, we adhere to the highest industry standards in all our operations.

From our site

EPA-Certified

EPA certification is the Section 608 refrigerant handling certification that federal law requires of anyone who services equipment containing refrigerant.

From our site

Certified gas installers

Connecting a furnace to its fuel, whether natural gas, LP gas or oil, is usually treated as a trade of its own. Our team is authorized to work on oil, natural, and LP gas systems.

From our site

Licensed, Bonded, and Insured

Bonded usually means a surety bond stands behind the work. Insured means the company's coverage, not yours, typically answers for an accident on the job. As a licensed, bonded, and insured company, we prioritize your safety and satisfaction in every project we undertake.

Public record

Focus on Energy Trade Ally

Before you call at night

  • The thermostat: set to Heat, and set above the room temperature. Fresh batteries if it takes them.
  • The filter: if you cannot see light through it, replace it and try again. A packed filter can make a furnace shut itself off.
  • The power: the breaker for the furnace, then the switch on or beside the furnace itself. It looks like a light switch and it gets flipped by mistake.
  • Then call, with the make and rough age of the furnace if you know them and a photo of the data plate on the cabinet.

If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the house and call 911 first. Everything else can wait.

General homeowner guidance, not a description of a specific visit. Ask what a visit covers when you call.

Lower bills

Rebates go through a registered Trade Ally.

Focus on Energy is Wisconsin's statewide energy efficiency program. Rebates on qualifying equipment are claimed through a contractor registered with the program as a Trade Ally, and Full Service Heating & A/C Inc. is listed as one.

Which rebates apply changes with the equipment and with the program's current offers, so ask about them when you get the estimate, and check what your utility offers on top. An older system that runs all winter is usually where the biggest saving hides, and an energy audit is usually how you find out how much.

Repair or replace

Repair it, or replace it?

A gas furnace typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Inside that window, one failed part on an otherwise sound furnace is usually worth repairing. Past it, with repairs arriving in back to back seasons, replacing usually makes more sense.

The common rule of thumb: when a repair estimate reaches about half the cost of a replacement, the money is usually better spent on the new unit. A utility bill that keeps climbing while nothing else about the house has changed points the same way.

Heater & Furnace Repair, Heater & Furnace Installation, Furnace Inspection and HVAC System Evaluation are all on the list. Tell us the age of the furnace and what it has been doing.

Common questions

The questions that come up on the phone.

Short answers. If yours is not here, call either number and ask.

Where do you work?

Ozaukee, Waukesha, and Washington communities, from Cedarburg, Wisconsin, where we are based. That is the service area as we state it, and we have served those communities since 1993. If your town sits at the edge of that area, call either number and ask before you assume.

Do you offer emergency service?

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency services, ensuring that you're never left in discomfort. Call (414) 736-5596 or (262) 375-5596. Before you call in the night, check the thermostat setting, the filter, the breaker and the switch on the furnace. If a carbon monoxide alarm is sounding, leave the house and call 911 first.

Is the estimate free?

Yes. We offer same-day free estimates and discounts to make our services more accessible. An estimate costs nothing and comes the same day. Have the make and rough age of the equipment ready, and a photo of the data plate on the cabinet if you can reach it; both help.

How can I pay?

Cash, check, MasterCard and Visa are the four payment methods we list. The estimate is free either way, so the first conversation costs nothing, and the discounts we mention are worth asking about on the same call, before any work is scheduled.

Can I get a Focus on Energy rebate through you?

Focus on Energy is Wisconsin's statewide energy efficiency program, and its rebates on qualifying equipment are claimed through a contractor registered with it as a Trade Ally. Full Service Heating & A/C Inc. is on that list. Which rebates apply depends on the equipment and the program's current offers, so ask at the estimate, and check what your utility adds.

Do you work on old houses?

Cedarburg has plenty: the Washington Avenue Historic District holds 80 contributing buildings, many from the 1840s to the early 1900s. An old house typically means plaster walls, ductwork added long after it was built or none, and rooms the original system never reached. Describe the house when you call. An HVAC System Evaluation is usually where a retrofit starts.

How often should a furnace be serviced?

Once a year is the usual advice, in the fall before the heating season. A tune up typically covers the filter, the burners and ignition, the heat exchanger, the blower, the thermostat, the venting and a carbon monoxide check. Heater & Furnace Maintenance and Furnace Inspection are on our list; ask what a visit includes when you book.
