Heating and cooling calls in Pleasant Hill and the surrounding area are what we do every day. TLC Refrigeration handles AC repair, furnace repair, heat pump installation and service, full system replacement, ductwork work, thermostats, indoor air quality, and seasonal maintenance for homes and properties throughout Pleasant Hill and the neighboring communities of Baldwin Park, Greenwood, Lake Winnebago, Lone Jack, and Strasburg. Same-day HVAC service is available when you call early enough to get on the schedule, and you get a rate on the phone before anything is booked.
Pleasant Hill is a town where most of the housing stock is owner-occupied, and the heating and cooling equipment in those homes has often been running for years without much attention. We work with homeowners, property managers, and small business owners who need a technician who will show up, diagnose the problem correctly, and give them honest guidance on what to do next. This is a local operation, and every customer matters.
Not every call is the same, and the kind of property we are working on shapes the job before we even arrive. An older home with original ductwork presents a different set of challenges than a newer build where the equipment is still under manufacturer coverage. A small commercial space has different demands than a single-family house. Understanding which situation you are in is where the diagnosis starts.
When something stops working, the first job is finding out why. A furnace that will not ignite, an AC that runs without cooling, a heat pump locked in a fault state, a system that short-cycles and never reaches the set temperature. These are the calls that come in urgently, and we treat them that way. We find the fault. We make the repair. We restore the comfort.
We do not quote a repair based on symptoms alone. The technician runs a full diagnostic, identifies the actual cause, and explains what it will take to fix it before any work begins.
A system that is working is easy to overlook until it is not. Seasonal tune-ups in the spring and fall catch the small problems before they become no-heat or no-cool emergencies. In a region where a gas furnace and a central air conditioner both work hard for months at a time, skipping maintenance is how equipment ages faster than it should. We check combustion, airflow, controls, and the components most likely to cause problems if they are not caught early.
When the repair cost starts approaching what a replacement would run, the calculation changes. We give you honest recommendations on repair versus replacement, never an upsell, so you know which path actually makes sense for your situation. A full system replacement means the equipment is sized correctly for the property, installed properly, and tested before we leave. The service page carries the full breakdown of what each type of replacement involves.
When a room is added to a home, the existing duct system is rarely sized to serve it. Air that cannot reach a space properly means that room runs hot in summer and cold in winter regardless of what the thermostat says. We assess the existing ductwork, design the extension or modification that will actually serve the addition, and handle the installation so the whole system delivers air the way it should.
Some properties have areas that never quite match the rest of the home in temperature. A zoning system divides the house into separately controlled areas, each with its own thermostat, so the equipment is not trying to satisfy conflicting demands from a single control point. We install and configure zoning systems and multi-area comfort controls for homes and commercial spaces where one thermostat is not doing the job.
A burning smell when the furnace first runs in the season is sometimes dust burning off a heat exchanger that has been idle for months. A persistent burning smell, or one that comes back after the first few cycles, points to something that needs attention. A musty smell from the AC or air handler often indicates moisture buildup in the duct system or on the coil. We diagnose the source and address it, because smells are symptoms of something the system is doing, not just an inconvenience.
We handle seasonal maintenance for both the heating and cooling sides of a system. That includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, testing ignition and controls, inspecting the heat exchanger, verifying airflow through the duct system, and confirming the thermostat is communicating correctly with the equipment. A tune-up is not a formality. It is the work that keeps a system running the way it was designed to.
A furnace that starts and then shuts off, or that attempts to ignite and fails, is often dealing with a dirty or failing flame sensor. The sensor is a safety component that confirms the burner has lit before allowing the gas valve to stay open. A sensor that is coated with residue reads as no flame even when the burner is running, and the furnace shuts down as a result. We clean or replace flame sensors as part of furnace diagnostics, and we check the ignition system as a whole rather than treating the sensor in isolation.
In this region, humidity is a comfort factor in both directions. During a humid summer, a whole-home dehumidifier integrated with the central system pulls excess moisture out of the air and makes the home feel cooler at a higher thermostat setting, which reduces the load on the AC. During a dry winter, a whole-home humidifier adds moisture back into the air so heated air does not feel as harsh. We install both and connect them to the existing system so they operate automatically as conditions change.
When you call, you get the rate before anything is scheduled. We tell you what the visit covers and what it costs, and the price is confirmed before we book the appointment. That is how it works on every call, whether it is a repair, a tune-up, or a full replacement estimate.
What moves a quote is the nature of the fault, what has to be accessed to reach it, the condition of the equipment, and whether repair or replacement is the right answer once the diagnostic is complete. A system that is straightforward to access and needs a single component is a different job than one where the fault has been compounding for a season and the equipment has aged past the point where a repair holds. We walk you through what we find and explain the options clearly.
We'll find the fault and set it right.
We are available every day from 7:00 AM to 10:30 PM. Same-day HVAC service is available when you call while slots are still open on the schedule, and that matters when the furnace stops heating on a cold night or the air conditioning fails during a stretch of summer heat. We handle no-heat and no-cool calls with the same urgency a homeowner feels when they make them.
For properties with tenants or businesses that need to stay open, we work around the situation. We confirm what access is needed before we arrive, and we communicate clearly about timing so the disruption is as limited as possible. Quick to arrive. Careful with your home. Tidy when we leave.
Older properties in a town this size often carry HVAC equipment that has been in place for a long time. Some of it is still running because it was built to last. Some of it is running because nobody has had it looked at in years and the problems have not become emergencies yet.
Working on older equipment means dealing with parts that are harder to source, controls that are no longer manufactured, and duct systems that were sized for the original floor plan rather than the house as it stands today. An addition built without extending the ductwork properly, a basement that was finished without accounting for airflow, a system that has been repaired repeatedly with whatever parts were available at the time. These are the situations we work through regularly.
We do not assume a system needs to be replaced because it is old. We assess what is there, tell you what we find, and give you an honest read on whether a repair makes sense or whether the equipment has reached the point where replacement is the better investment. One call, and a technician is on the way.

Short cycling, where the system turns on and off repeatedly without completing a full run, is often caused by a dirty filter restricting airflow, an oversized system that heats or cools the space too quickly, a refrigerant issue, or a control problem. It puts extra wear on the equipment and should be diagnosed before it leads to a larger failure.
We can assess what has been done and determine what is needed to bring the installation to a proper finish. Call (975) 666-3995 and describe the situation so we can confirm what the visit will involve before we schedule it.
In many cases, yes. Zoning divides the home into independently controlled areas, which is useful when different rooms have significantly different heating or cooling needs. Whether it is practical depends on the existing ductwork and equipment. We assess the current setup and explain what is involved before recommending anything.
In most cases, yes. Air filtration systems, air purifiers, and whole-home dehumidifiers are typically installed as additions to the existing HVAC system rather than replacements for it. We assess what is already in place and recommend a solution that works with the current setup.
The practical answer is to call as early in the day as possible when the situation is urgent. Same-day service is available when slots are open, and we cover Pleasant Hill and the surrounding Cass County communities directly. For non-emergency work, calling ahead to get on the schedule gives you the most flexibility on timing. We confirm availability and give you a rate on the call before anything is booked.
Yes. If there are multiple things to address, such as a thermostat that is not reading correctly, a vent that is not delivering airflow, and a filter that needs attention, we can work through all of them in a single visit. Describe everything when you call so the technician arrives prepared.
It is often both, but the HVAC side is where we can help. Additions are frequently built without extending the duct system properly, which means the space is pulling conditioned air from wherever it can find it rather than receiving a dedicated supply. We assess the existing ductwork, identify where the gap is, and design an extension that actually serves the space. The construction envelope matters too, but getting the airflow right is the first step.
Yes. Different noises point toward different parts of the system. A rattling sound, a grinding noise, a clicking that does not stop, or a banging at startup each suggest different causes. Describing what you hear when you call helps us understand what the technician is likely dealing with before arriving.
We can give you a general sense of what a repair might involve based on what you describe over the phone, but the confirmed price comes after the technician has diagnosed the system. Call (975) 666-3995, describe what the system is doing, and we will tell you what to expect before anything is scheduled.
When the schedule allows, yes. If you manage several properties and need service at more than one location, call (975) 666-3995 and we will work out a plan. Grouping visits on the same day is often more efficient for everyone involved.
Call (975) 666-3995 and describe what the system is doing, or not doing. We will ask about the equipment, the age of the system if you know it, and what you have noticed in the lead-up to the problem. By the end of the call you will have a rate, a confirmed appointment, and a clear picture of what the technician will be looking at when they arrive.
