Horner Heating & Air has been the HVAC company Wadsworth homeowners and businesses call first since 1981. That is 45 years of showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind it. We serve all of Medina County and the surrounding communities, handling everything from a furnace that quit on a cold January morning to a full cooling system replacement in the middle of summer. Whether you own a home, manage a rental property, or run a commercial building, we are the local team ready to help. Real technicians. Real pricing. Real fast response. Call us and a real local person answers.
We built this business around HVAC work like this, one job at a time, one customer at a time, right here in Wadsworth. When our founder started the company in 1981, the goal was simple: do the work well, treat people fairly, and be the kind of company a neighbor would recommend without hesitation. That has not changed.
Four and a half decades later, we are still locally owned and personally accountable for every job that goes out under our name. Our technicians are qualified HVAC professionals who bring real trade experience to every call. Every job comes with a workmanship guarantee, because we are not satisfied until you are. If something is not right, we will make it right. That is a genuine commitment, not a marketing line.
We have worked on every kind of heating and cooling system in Medina County, in homes built decades ago and in properties constructed last year. We know the local building stock, the local climate, and what it takes to keep a system running reliably through an Ohio winter and a humid Ohio summer. Give us a ring and we will take care of it.
From aging systems to brand-new installs, we handle the full range of residential and commercial HVAC work. That means AC repair and service, furnace repair and replacement, heat pump repair and installation, mini-split and ductless system installation, full HVAC system replacement, thermostat and smart-control installation, ductwork repair and sealing, indoor air quality and air filtration, seasonal tune-ups and preventive maintenance, and emergency HVAC service when your system goes down at the worst possible time.
We also handle the diagnostic side of HVAC work that other companies sometimes skip: airflow problems, uneven temperatures from room to room, refrigerant leak diagnosis, and system performance issues that are easy to overlook but hard to live with. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how we operate. You will know what we found, what we recommend, and what it will cost before any work begins. We will diagnose it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
If you have never hired an HVAC company before, knowing what to expect helps. When your air conditioner stops working in the middle of a humid Ohio summer, we move quickly. The most common calls we get involve AC systems that are not cooling, blowing warm air, short cycling, making unusual noises, or simply not turning on. We diagnose and repair all of it.
Our AC work covers condenser and compressor service, evaporator coil cleaning and repair, refrigerant leak diagnosis and recharge, air handler and blower service, and frozen coil repair. When a system is beyond repair or has reached the end of its useful life, we handle new central air installation and AC unit replacement as well. Same-day service is available for many calls, and we will always give you a straight answer on whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense for your situation. We will have your system running again in no time.
The sooner you call, the sooner your comfort is back, and that matters most when the heat goes out on a cold Ohio night. We handle all types of heating system repair and replacement, including furnaces that are not working, blowing cold air, making noise, or failing to turn on at all.
Heat pump repair is a growing part of our work as more homeowners switch to heat pump systems for year-round comfort. We service and repair heat pumps that are not heating, not cooling, or making noise, and we handle heat pump installation and replacement for customers ready to upgrade. Mini-split and ductless systems are another option we install and service, offering flexible heating and cooling for additions, converted spaces, and buildings without existing ductwork.
When a heating system reaches the end of its life, we replace it with properly sized equipment and make sure the installation is code-compliant HVAC work on every job. No-heat emergency calls get priority scheduling, and same-day furnace repair is available in most cases.
A system that goes down in extreme cold or extreme heat is not something you can wait on. We take emergency HVAC calls seriously. Whether your furnace has stopped responding, your air conditioner has shut down in the middle of a heat wave, or your system is making a sound that was not there yesterday, we are ready to help.
No guesswork. No shortcuts. No surprise fees.
When you call for emergency service, we will give you a clear picture of what is happening with your system and what it will take to fix it before we start any work. Pricing is explained upfront, and any additional costs are communicated before they happen. Fast response and same-day availability are how we handle urgent calls, because we know your comfort and your property cannot wait.
We built this business around HVAC work like this, and comfort upgrades are a big part of what we do beyond basic repair and replacement. Leaky or damaged ductwork is one of the most common causes of uneven temperatures, high energy bills, and systems that run longer than they should. We inspect, seal, and repair ductwork to bring airflow back into balance and help your system work the way it was designed to.
Thermostat installation and replacement is another service we handle regularly. If your thermostat is not reading accurately, is failing to communicate with your system, or you are ready to upgrade to a smart or programmable thermostat, we can set it up and walk you through how it works. Zoning and comfort-control systems are also an option for homes and buildings where different areas need different temperature settings.
On the indoor air quality side, we install whole-house air purifiers, UV air purification systems, air filtration systems, whole-house humidifiers, and whole-house dehumidifiers. Ohio's humid summers make dehumidification a practical comfort upgrade for many homes in the area. These improvements extend the life of your system and make a real difference in how your home feels every day.
From aging systems to brand-new installs, regular maintenance is what keeps HVAC equipment running efficiently and reliably through every season. A spring AC tune-up before the heat arrives and a fall furnace tune-up before the cold sets in are the two most important service visits of the year.
During a tune-up, our technicians inspect the system thoroughly, clean components that affect performance, test controls and safety systems, check refrigerant levels, and identify any wear or developing problems before they turn into breakdowns. Annual HVAC service is one of the best investments a homeowner or property manager can make, both for system longevity and for energy efficiency over time.
Call for a quote on a seasonal tune-up and we will get you scheduled before the next season hits.
Property managers, building owners, and business operators in Wadsworth and across Medina County rely on us for the same quality of work we deliver on the residential side. We service and repair commercial HVAC systems in offices, warehouses, retail spaces, restaurants, and multi-tenant buildings. Rooftop unit repair and service, commercial air handler repair, and commercial system replacement are all part of what we do.
Commercial clients get the same clear communication and the same standards on every job. We explain what we find, what we recommend, and what the work will cost before anything begins. Code-compliant HVAC work on every job is not something we treat as optional, regardless of the property type or the size of the system. Call to request a commercial HVAC estimate and we will get a qualified technician out to take a look.
If you have never hired an HVAC company before and you are not sure who to trust in this area, start with the team that has been here for 45 years. We are based in Wadsworth and serve all of Medina County, including Medina, Barberton, Norton, Rittman, Lodi, Seville, Fairlawn, and the surrounding communities.
We know this area. We know the older homes in established neighborhoods that need careful attention when a system is being replaced, and we know the newer construction where equipment sizing and ductwork design matter from day one. Ohio's winters are cold enough to make a furnace failure a genuine emergency, and the summers are humid enough that a failed air conditioner is not just uncomfortable, it is a health concern. Year-round HVAC care is not optional here, and we are the local team set up to provide it.

How do I know if my furnace or AC needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Age and repair history are the two biggest factors. If your system is more than 15 years old and has needed multiple repairs in recent seasons, replacement usually saves more money over time than continuing to patch an aging unit. We give you a straight answer on which path makes sense for your situation after we diagnose the system.
Why is one room in my house always hotter or colder than the rest?
Uneven temperatures are usually caused by duct leaks, blocked vents, or an HVAC system that is not sized correctly for the home. Ductwork issues are one of the most common causes we find. We inspect the duct system and airflow during a diagnostic visit to identify where the problem is coming from.
How often should I schedule maintenance and tune-ups for my heating and cooling system?
We recommend a spring AC tune-up before cooling season and a fall furnace tune-up before heating season. Annual maintenance keeps your equipment running efficiently, catches small problems early, and extends the life of the system. Skipping a season is one of the most common reasons systems fail at the worst possible time.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We tell you what the work costs before we start it. Every quote is clear and itemized, and any additional costs that come up during a job are communicated to you before they happen.
What does a seasonal tune-up actually cover?
A standard tune-up includes cleaning key components, checking refrigerant levels, testing controls and safety switches, inspecting the heat exchanger or coil, and verifying that the system is operating within normal ranges. We go through the major components so you know where things stand heading into the season.
What causes a system to short-cycle, and is it serious?
Short-cycling means your system turns on and off too quickly without completing a full heating or cooling cycle. It is usually caused by a refrigerant issue, an oversized system, a dirty filter or coil, or a failing component like a pressure switch. It puts extra wear on the equipment and should be diagnosed before it leads to a larger failure.
Can a dirty filter or coil really hurt my system that much?
Yes. A clogged filter restricts airflow and forces the system to work harder, which raises energy use and can cause components to overheat or freeze. A dirty evaporator coil reduces the system's ability to transfer heat efficiently. Both are easy to address and make a real difference in how well the system performs.
Workmanship We Stand Behind
We back every job with a workmanship guarantee. If something is not right after we leave, we come back and make it right, no runaround.
What strange noises from my HVAC unit should I take seriously?
Banging, grinding, or squealing sounds usually point to a mechanical problem like a failing blower motor, a loose component, or a worn bearing. A rattling sound can mean debris in the system or a loose panel. Any noise that is new or getting worse is worth a call. Ignoring it often turns a minor repair into a larger one.
How does a whole-home dehumidifier differ from a portable unit?
A portable dehumidifier handles one room at a time and requires you to empty the reservoir regularly. A whole-home dehumidifier integrates directly with your HVAC system and pulls excess moisture from the air throughout the entire house automatically. In a humid Ohio summer, that difference in coverage is significant, especially if your home feels clammy even when the AC is running.
Experienced With Older and Newer Systems
We have been working on heating and cooling equipment in this area since 1981. Whether your system is a decades-old furnace or a recently installed heat pump, we know the equipment and know how to work on it correctly.
What should I expect when I call for a quote?
When you call, a real local person answers. We ask about your system, your situation, and what you are experiencing. For most jobs, we schedule a visit, diagnose the problem, and give you clear pricing before any work begins. We do not pressure you to approve work you did not ask for, and we do not add fees after the fact.
Do I need to be home when the technician comes out?
For most service calls and installations, yes, someone should be home to provide access to the equipment and to go over the findings with the technician. If your situation requires special arrangements, let us know when you call and we will work with you on the scheduling.
Is a heat pump a good fit for an Ohio home?
For many Medina County homeowners, yes. Modern heat pumps handle both heating and cooling from a single system and run efficiently in climates where winters are cold but not extreme. They are a strong option for homeowners looking to replace aging equipment or reduce reliance on gas heating. We walk you through the comparison during the estimate so you can make the right call for your home.
Every home and building is a little different, and the right answer depends on your system, your situation, and what you are trying to accomplish. Call us at (234) 394-9789 and we will give you clear, honest advice on what your heating and cooling system actually needs.
