One call for heat, cooling and the air in between
We repair, replace and maintain furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, central air, mini-splits and ductwork in Fort Wayne and the surrounding counties. Most repair visits start with a diagnostic of $89 to $149, the phone is answered 24/7, and the technician explains the problem and the price before any work starts.
Fort Wayne is a heating town first. January nights average around 17°F, the furnace runs from October into April, and a basement unit that quits at 2 a.m. is a real problem, not an inconvenience. Summer brings its own work: July afternoons near 84°F with the kind of humidity that makes an older air conditioner run all day and still leave the house sticky.
Landcons HVAC handles both seasons from a downtown office on West Wayne Street. We work on 1840s homes in West Central with steam radiators, post-war ranches in Waynedale and Northcrest, and newer two-story houses in Aboite and Huntertown with high-efficiency furnaces in finished basements. Each kind of house fails in its own way, and knowing those patterns is most of the job.
What is your system doing right now?
Pick the closest match. Each card says what to check first and where to read more.
No heat, or cold air from the vents
Check the thermostat mode and the furnace switch first. If the house is still cooling off, call; a failed igniter or flame sensor is the usual cause.
Furnace repairThe carbon monoxide alarm went off
Get everyone outside, call 911 from outside, and do not go back in until responders clear the house. Then we find the source.
CO testingFurnace starts and stops every few minutes
Short cycling points to a dirty flame sensor, an overheating heat exchanger, or a system that is too big for the house.
Short cycling guideAC runs but the house stays warm
A dirty outdoor coil, a weak capacitor or low refrigerant are the common culprits on a humid July afternoon.
AC repairDry air, static shocks and cracked wood trim
Indoor humidity can fall below 20 percent on a January night. A whole-home humidifier on the furnace fixes it.
HumidifiersUpstairs too hot, basement too cold
Two-story homes in Aboite and Pine Valley fight this every summer. Zoning, duct balancing or a mini-split can fix it.

An estimate for planning only. Real use depends on insulation, air leaks, thermostat habits and weather. A load calculation at your house gives the real number.
From the first ring to a warm house
The same six steps on a no-heat call at midnight and a spring AC tune-up.
A person answers
Day or night, a person picks up, asks what the system is doing and tells you what is safe to try while you wait.
We set a time and call ahead
You get an arrival window and a call when the technician is on the way, so you are not stuck home all day.
Readings, not guesses
Gas pressure, temperature rise, static pressure, amp draw and refrigerant readings tell us what failed and why.
The price before the work
You see what we found and the price for each option. Nothing starts until you say yes.
Repair or install, then clean up
Parts go in, covers go back on, the work area is cleaned, and old equipment leaves with us.
Final readings and what to watch
We test the system again, show you the numbers and tell you what would mean a call back.
Heating a city of three rivers
The St. Marys and St. Joseph rivers meet downtown to form the Maumee, and the neighborhoods closest to them hold the oldest houses in the city. Many still heat with hot water or steam boilers, or with gravity furnaces that were converted to forced air decades ago. Ductwork upstairs is often missing, so cooling those rooms takes a ductless or small-duct system rather than a standard central air install.
Farther out, the story changes. Ranches from the 1950s and 1960s have basements with the furnace and main trunk duct in one corner, and returns that were undersized from day one. Subdivisions built from the 1970s on have bigger rooms, bonus spaces over garages and the classic hot-upstairs, cold-basement split.
Past the city limits, rural homes run on propane or geothermal. WaterFurnace builds geothermal heat pumps right here in Fort Wayne, a city that also built electric motors for decades at the old GE works on Broadway. Heating and cooling equipment is part of how this place grew up.
Furnaces and air conditioners from every major maker
Whether your basement holds a Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman or Rheem furnace, or a WaterFurnace geothermal unit, we carry the meters and common parts to work on it.

Does Landcons HVAC really answer the phone at night in Fort Wayne?
Yes. The line at (260) 283-0173 is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including holidays. A person takes the details, tells you what to do in the meantime, and sets a time for a technician. No-heat calls on cold nights and AC failures during heat waves are handled first.
What does a typical HVAC repair visit cost with Landcons?
Most repair visits start with a diagnostic of $89 to $149, or $149 to $229 at night, on weekends and on holidays. Common furnace parts such as an igniter run $189 to $345 installed. Your technician gives you the price for the repair before any work starts, and you decide.
Which towns outside Fort Wayne does Landcons cover?
All of Allen County, including New Haven, Huntertown and Leo-Cedarville, plus DeKalb, Whitley, Huntington, Wells, Adams, Noble, Steuben, Kosciusko, Wabash, LaGrange and Jay counties, Van Wert County in Ohio, and Marion. That covers Auburn, Warsaw, Huntington, Wabash, Bluffton, Decatur, Kendallville, Angola and Van Wert. Use the ZIP checker or call to confirm your address.
Should I repair or replace a 20-year-old furnace in Fort Wayne?
A furnace that old is near the end of a normal 15 to 20 year life. If the repair costs more than about a third of a new furnace, or the heat exchanger is cracked, replacement usually makes more sense. We show you the readings and both prices, and the choice stays yours.
Do you work on boilers and radiators in older Fort Wayne homes?
Yes. Hot water and steam boilers are common in West Central, Forest Park, Southwood Park and other older neighborhoods, and we repair circulators, zone valves, expansion tanks and the boilers themselves. We also add ductless or small-duct central air to homes that never had ductwork.
Can Landcons service geothermal heat pumps?
Yes. We service ground-source heat pumps, check loop temperatures and pressures, and replace failed indoor units. WaterFurnace, one of the best known geothermal makers, is based here in Fort Wayne, and geothermal is common on rural lots around the region.
