Work is performed by qualified HVAC technicians on every call, and we keep clear communication from the first call to the final test so you always know where things stand.
Homeowners count on us when the AC stops cooling in July or the furnace goes quiet in January. We diagnose the problem, walk you through the options, and give you a straight answer on what it will take to fix it. Whether your heat pump is not keeping up, your thermostat is acting up, or your system just needs a seasonal tune-up, we are ready to help. Call for a quote and we will get you scheduled.
Property managers, landlords, and small business owners need HVAC work done right and done on time. A tenant without heat or a commercial space without cooling is a problem that cannot wait. We handle rental property HVAC repairs, commercial maintenance visits, and multi-unit service calls with the same professionalism we bring to every residential job.

The sooner you call, the sooner your comfort is back, and we mean that. When your system goes down in the middle of a cold Ohio night or a sweltering August afternoon, waiting days for a technician is not an option. We offer same-day and after-hours availability for emergency AC repair, emergency furnace repair, and emergency heat pump repair across Wadsworth and the surrounding area.
Real technicians. Real pricing. Real fast response.
Do not sit in the heat or the cold longer than you have to. Call (234) 394-9789 and we will get someone out to you.
Wadsworth and the surrounding area deal with the full Ohio four-season swing: cold, snowy winters that run from October into March, and warm, humid summers that put real stress on cooling equipment. The services below are the ones our customers call about most, and they reflect what this climate actually demands.
Aging systems struggle when Ohio's weather pushes them hard in both directions. If your furnace is limping through another winter or your AC is losing the fight against summer heat, there comes a point where a replacement makes more financial sense than another repair. We assess your current system, size the new equipment correctly for your home or building, and handle the full installation with qualified technicians who test everything before they leave. We stand behind the work with a workmanship guarantee on every HVAC job. We'll diagnose it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
Heat pumps have become a popular choice in Ohio because they handle both heating and cooling from a single system. Modern cold-climate heat pumps perform well even when temperatures drop, and pairing one with a gas furnace backup gives you reliable comfort year-round. We handle the full installation process, from equipment selection through final testing, and we are available for heat pump repair and service after the install as well. Call for an estimate and we will walk you through what makes sense for your home.
Ohio summers bring humidity that makes indoor spaces feel uncomfortable even when the AC is running. A portable dehumidifier helps one room. A whole-home dehumidification system, integrated directly with your HVAC equipment, handles the entire house without the hassle. It pulls excess moisture out of the air before it circulates through your home, which improves comfort and supports better indoor air quality across every room. If your home feels sticky and heavy all summer, this is worth a conversation. Give us a ring and we'll take care of it.
We built this business around HVAC work like this, the kind of supporting services that make a real difference in how your system performs day to day. Leaky or damaged ductwork is one of the most common reasons a system runs constantly but never quite gets the house comfortable. We inspect, repair, and seal ductwork to get airflow back where it belongs and take pressure off your equipment.
A thermostat that is not working correctly, or one that is simply outdated, can throw off your whole system. We install smart thermostats and programmable controls that give you better management of your comfort and your energy use. And if indoor air quality is a concern, whether that is dust, allergens, or general air freshness, we install whole-home air filtration and air purification systems that work with your existing HVAC setup. We'll have your system running again in no time.
If you've never hired an HVAC company before, a seasonal tune-up is one of the best starting points. A spring AC tune-up before the heat arrives and a fall furnace tune-up before the cold sets in are the simplest ways to avoid an emergency call in the middle of the season. A maintenance visit covers diagnostics, cleaning, refrigerant checks, and a full system test so we catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
We handle preventive maintenance for homeowners and commercial clients alike. A well-maintained system lasts longer, runs more efficiently, and breaks down less often.
No guesswork. No shortcuts. No surprise fees.
If you've never hired an HVAC company before, pricing is usually the first question. We get it. HVAC costs vary depending on the scope of the job, the type of system involved, and the parts required, and we think you deserve a straight answer before any work begins. Our process starts with a clear diagnosis so you know exactly what you are dealing with before you commit to anything.
We keep clear communication from the first call to the final test. No vague estimates, no surprises on the invoice. Call (234) 394-9789 for a quote and we will give you honest numbers for the work your system actually needs.
We are based in Wadsworth and serve customers throughout Medina County and the surrounding communities. If you are in Medina, Barberton, Norton, Rittman, Lodi, Seville, or the broader Akron area, we can get to you. Our service area covers both residential neighborhoods and commercial properties across the region, and we are familiar with the homes, the buildings, and the weather patterns that come with living in this part of Ohio.
We have been at this since 1981, and the way we run our business has not changed much in 45 years. We show up, we do the work correctly, and we stand behind it. This is a locally owned operation, which means the people answering the phone and showing up at your door are part of the same community you are. Qualified HVAC technicians handle every job, and we back that work with a workmanship guarantee on every HVAC job.
We are not a company that treats customers like ticket numbers. We know the area, we know the equipment that runs in these homes, and we take the work personally.
Common warning signs include the system blowing cold air, failing to start, making unusual noises like banging or rattling, short cycling on and off, or producing noticeably higher energy bills without a clear reason. If you notice any of these in your Wadsworth home, call (234) 394-9789 so we can diagnose the issue before it becomes a full breakdown.
This usually points to one of a few causes: low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty evaporator or condenser coil, a failing compressor, or a duct system that is losing conditioned air before it reaches the living space. We diagnose the root cause and give you a clear answer on whether a repair or a replacement is the right call.
We assess both sides of the system during a diagnostic visit. If the equipment is operating correctly but some rooms are too hot or too cold, leaky or undersized ductwork is often the cause. Fixing the duct system can make a bigger difference in comfort than replacing the equipment itself.
We inspect the coils for dirt and damage, check refrigerant levels, test the capacitor and contactor, verify that the fan motor is running correctly, and look for signs of ice buildup or refrigerant leaks. The outdoor unit is often where the root cause of a cooling or heat pump problem shows up first.
We service and repair rooftop units, commercial air handlers, and exterior equipment as part of our commercial HVAC work in Wadsworth and across Medina County. Our technicians arrive prepared for the access and safety requirements that come with rooftop equipment.
If your heat is out in cold weather, keep interior doors closed to hold warmth in the occupied areas of the home and check that the thermostat is set correctly and the system switch is in the right position. If your AC has failed in summer heat, close blinds and limit heat-generating appliances. Do not attempt to open or repair the equipment yourself before the technician arrives.
A straightforward repair or tune-up usually takes one to two hours. More complex diagnostics, ductwork repairs, or situations where a part needs to be sourced may take longer. We give you a realistic time estimate when we schedule the call and keep you informed if anything changes on the job.
We walk you through the options, explain the equipment that fits your home or building, and give you clear pricing before any work begins. Installation is handled by qualified HVAC technicians who test everything before they leave, and every replacement comes with a workmanship guarantee on every HVAC job.
We start with an assessment of your current system and the space it serves, then size the new equipment correctly for your home or building. We schedule the installation at a time that works for you and make sure you know what to expect on the day of the job before we show up.
Extreme cold or wet conditions can affect how certain outdoor work is performed, and we plan accordingly. For installations, we schedule around conditions that would affect equipment performance or safety. For emergency repairs, we work through most weather because a system that is down cannot wait.
Horner Heating & Air is ready to help with whatever your heating or cooling system needs, whether that is a same-day emergency repair, a scheduled maintenance visit, or a full system replacement. We serve Wadsworth, Medina County, and the surrounding communities with the kind of HVAC work that holds up through Ohio winters and summers alike.
Schedule it. We fix it. You're comfortable.

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.
