AC/Furnace acting up? Signs it's time to call.
Six common warning signs and what’s usually behind each one. When in doubt, our Groveport crew is one call away
Burning or musty smell
Something’s burning or musty when the system kicks on. Likely cause: A burnt-out motor or mold in the system. Shut it off and call us — don’t breathe it in.
Short-cycling
The furnace or AC kicks on and off every few minutes. Likely cause: Usually a pressure, refrigerant, thermostat, or flame-sensor problem.
Weak or uneven airflow
Some rooms never get comfortable. Likely cause: Dirty filter, worn blower, a blocked duct, or a failing part. Fast to diagnose, fast to fix.
Strange noises
A new buzz, rattle, scrape, or screech. Likely cause: Each sound points to a different part. We know the song.
Refrigerant leak
Ice on the line, warm air at the vents. Likely cause: Ice on the copper line, warm air at the vents. EPA-certified leak repair.
Commercial cooler warming up
Walk-in or display case won’t hold temperature. Likely cause: Refrigerant, compressor, or defrost-cycle fault. We service commercial refrigeration, most shops don’t.

We highly recommend Franklin Heating and Cooling! Gary came out to do our estimate — friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The pricing was great, lower than several other companies. Jeremy and Scott did an excellent job on the installation and explained the features on the new system.
Had Franklin out to quote and install new furnace and AC. The sales tech didn't try to oversell us and quoted exactly what we were looking for. Jeremy, Nate, and Ish were very professional and answered all our questions. We would highly recommend Franklin.
Shane and Nate came out to perform a full HVAC removal and install. Very personable and professional. They did great work and we are thrilled with the new system. We happily recommend Franklin Heating and Cooling based on our experience.
A terrific company to work with! They gave us a fair and reasonable price on a new Carrier furnace. Their technicians were on time, answered all our questions and did an installation checklist at the end. Highly recommend them!
Franklin Heating and Cooling saved our frozen butts during the winter storm! Another company tried to sell us a $5K new furnace even though ours was under warranty. Honest service is something they take seriously.
Thank you to Tony and Josh who came out to work on our furnace. They were professional, respectful, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I can't thank them enough for the service they provided.
I had the pleasure of having Darius as my heating technician. He fixed the problem in record time. He was courteous and very professional. I would recommend him and the company to any of my friends.
Perfect job from beginning to end. Affordable, honest and very knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone. Mark communicated very well. The installers Turon and Rob were professional and helpful.
The service today was fantastic! Anthony, the technician, was very thorough and professional. The service was completed quickly and he checked his repairs to ensure they were completed correctly.
Best heating and air conditioning company hands down! Always dependable and reliable. They won't mislead you and tell you that you need a new furnace or air conditioner just to make money. They are honest and truthful. Quality work!
Jeremy, Nate, and Tony installed our new heat pump / HVAC unit. The entire team was professional, efficient, and punctual. I highly recommend this company for any heating and cooling services needed.
I got 5 quotes to replace my HVAC system, and Franklin blew the others away and saved me thousands of dollars. The actual equipment is quality Carrier product, the estimate was free, and they didn't try to up-sell me.
Quick turnaround for an appointment. The tech Xavier was professional, honest, and answered additional questions I had, as well as gave me advice on things that could be done to improve my system.
From start to finish the installation of our new Daikin complete HVAC system was great. The team was friendly, respectful and super informative. Franklin offered the best options for the price. Every single one of these five stars and more!

Yes. We understand that a broken AC in the middle of summer, a furnace failure on a freezing night, or a walk-in cooler going down at your restaurant can’t wait. Our team responds quickly to urgent service calls across Columbus and Central Ohio to get your system back up and running with minimal disruption. Commercial refrigeration emergencies are a particular priority for us, since every hour of downtime can mean lost inventory.
We recommend having your HVAC system professionally serviced at least twice a year, once in the spring before cooling season and once in the fall before heating season. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the lifespan of your equipment, improves energy efficiency, and keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid. Commercial refrigeration equipment typically benefits from quarterly service due to its constant operation.
Our maintenance visits are thorough and tailored to your equipment. A typical service includes inspecting and cleaning key components, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, calibrating thermostats, replacing or cleaning filters, and verifying overall system performance. For refrigeration equipment, we also inspect door seals, defrost cycles, condenser coils, and temperature accuracy. You’ll receive a clear summary of findings and any recommendations after every visit.
Absolutely. Commercial work is a core part of what we do. We service rooftop units (RTUs), light commercial HVAC systems, walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in refrigeration, ice machines, and prep table units for restaurants, grocers, convenience stores, and other businesses across Central Ohio. We work around your operating hours whenever possible to minimize disruption to your business.
