Air Conditioning Contractor in Akron, Ohio
A New AC Quote That Finally Makes Sense
Rodger That Heating & Cooling installs and services central air across Akron, Cuyahoga Falls and the surrounding area, with a flat quote that tells you exactly what you're paying for and why.
Rodger That quotes air conditioning installation without a commissioned salesperson in the room, so the central air system we recommend is the one that fits your home and your budget.
Our quotes name the efficiency rating, the system type and any ductwork changes, all at a flat price, so you can see why the number is what it is. If your current unit can be repaired, you'll hear that first, because a failed capacitor is not a reason to buy a whole new system.
You end up with cold air on the hottest days and a quote you could explain to anyone who asks.
AC Installation
A standard central air system shouldn't be priced like a luxury one, and nobody here earns a commission for talking you into a bigger unit. Your quote spells out the efficiency, single-stage or two-stage, and any ductwork changes, each at a flat price, so you can see exactly what you're paying for and why.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
Repair first if the problem is a part like a capacitor or contactor and the rest of the system is in good shape. Replacement makes more sense when the compressor fails on an older unit, refrigerant leaks keep coming back, or repair bills are piling up. We test before recommending anything, so a minor failure gets treated as a minor repair.
Why does a new AC cost so much more than it used to?
Equipment prices have climbed in recent years, and the industry's move away from R-410A refrigerant toward newer refrigerants like R-32 changed the systems being sold. What shouldn't change is how clearly the price is explained. Our flat quote names the equipment, its efficiency and any ductwork changes, so you can see what you're paying for instead of guessing.
Can I get a heat pump instead of a new central air conditioner?
Yes. A heat pump cools your home in summer the same way an air conditioner does, and it heats too. Many homeowners pair one with a gas furnace in a dual-fuel setup, so the heat pump handles mild weather and the furnace covers the coldest days. We'll price both options so you can compare.
Do you install air conditioning in older homes without ductwork?
Yes. Ductless mini-splits are built for exactly that. Older Akron homes in neighborhoods like Ellet, Goodyear Heights and Highland Square often have radiator heat and no ducts for central air, and a multi-zone mini-split can cool several rooms without adding ductwork. It's a cleaner fix than a house full of window units.
What areas do you install air conditioning in?
We install and service air conditioning across Summit and Stark counties from our shop on Killian Road in Springfield Township. That covers Akron, Green, Portage Lakes, Barberton, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Hudson, Canton, Jackson Township and the communities around them.
