“We recently had our air conditioner and furnace replaced, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain all of our options without any pressure.”

“The technician showed us all his tests, and thoroughly inspected the unit. We elected to replace our full system with FortHouse — they were able to do the install the next day. We will be using them from now on.”

How we work
The complaint we hear most about other contractors is not price. It is finding out the price afterward. Here is the whole sequence.
Describe the symptom. We will tell you on the phone whether it sounds like a worn capacitor or a conversation about replacement.
Same-day appointments when availability allows
Static pressure, superheat, subcooling, amp draw. Real readings, written on the invoice, so you can hold us to them.
Diagnostic typically $89–$150, general range
Flat-rate pricing on paper before any work starts. If there is a cheaper path that we would take in our own house, we tell you about it.
No work begins without a signature
Post-repair readings go on the invoice next to the originals. You can see the delta closed, not just take our word for it.
Built for the long-term relationship
Resources
ENERGY STAR puts the replacement threshold at 10 years old, but age alone doesn't tell the whole story. Here are the signs that actually mean it's time — rising bills, uneven cooling, and the noise that means a component is already failing — plus what replacement really costs.
Two HVAC financing offers can both say "0% for 12 months" on the sticker and work completely differently if the balance isn't fully paid off by the deadline. Here's the one question that tells them apart.
An oversized AC, a refrigerant leak, or a dirty filter can all cause short cycling. They're not equally serious, and one of them gets worse every day it's ignored.
Where we work
We keep the radius tight on purpose. A tech who is twenty minutes away can actually get to you the same day, and already knows how the housing stock out here is built.

Common questions
Yes — 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. A no-heat night in January or a no-AC day in July doesn't wait for business hours.
