Air Conditioning
In 1993, only 68 percent of homes in the United States had air conditioning. By 2017 that number had jumped to 90 percent. Today, an air conditioner is a standard appliance in and as essential to most families as a car, a microwave, or a refrigerator.
Air conditioning units have made incredible leaps in technology and efficiency in the last few years, making installing and operating a home or small office air conditioning unit incredibly affordable.
In 2010, the most common refrigerant used in small air conditioning units, R-22, was banned in the European Union (EU) and the United States as part of a phaseout of ozone-depleting chemicals. In preparation for the ban, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry moved toward R-410A as the replacement for R-22.
The adoption of R-410A in home and small office air conditioners began a new era in high-efficiency air conditioning systems. Air conditioning units are more efficient, have a smaller footprint, and quieter than ever before.
Knueve & Sons has been replacing older R-22 units with new R-410A equipment for years. Call our team at 419-532-3699 and we will help you find the right unit for your home. Request air conditioning service online today.
Commercial Services
Workplace studies show that many factors contribute to the satisfaction and productivity of your employees. A climate-controlled work environment is certainly near the top of the list.
By working with a professional heating and cooling company such as Knueve & Sons that specializes in commercial applications, you’ll be ensuring a comfortable and pleasant work environment for your staff, customers, and business stakeholders.
Heating Services
Providing reliable, consistent, and comfortable heat for a commercial operation can be challenging. In some cases, commercial buildings are large and winding. You may have a combination of small offices along with a large production facility.
Hiring a professional commercial heating provider is critical in finding the solution that will meet your particular building requirements. Our trained technicians may suggest commercial furnaces, boilers, or heat pumps as a commercial heating solution. Rooftop units (RTUs) can keep equipment out of sight and increase efficiency and ventilation in a commercial facility as well.
Cooling Services
Just like a properly scaled heating system is important in the winter, you’ll want a commercial cooling system in the summer that fits your unique commercial building’s needs. If cooling systems are inconsistent, you might end up with an imbalance in your commercial operation. If you are operating temperature-sensitive equipment, this can result in downtime or machine malfunctions.
Choose a professional heating and cooling company that has experience with commercial air conditioners, heat pumps, cooling towers, and chillers to ensure you select the best solution for your commercial cooling needs. Call Knueve & Sons at 419-532-3699 today.
Maintenance Services
Regular maintenance inspections and cleaning are important to keep any heating and cooling equipment in tiptop condition. However, it can be even more critical in a commercial setting because heating and cooling malfunctions can negatively affect productivity. Consider investing in a maintenance plan to automatically schedule service and take advantage of special pricing. Request commercial service online today.
Boilers
Clank! Clank! Clank! After banging on the pipes for hours, Dad emerges from the basement, face covered in soot, and announces the boiler is dead. It is a scene from the movies we have all seen.

Properly maintained boilers can last as long as 20 years. Call us at 419-532-3699, as we are here to see you through the full life of your boiler and help you replace it when the time comes. Request boiler service online today.
Ductless Systems
The era of ultra-high efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units is here. Ductless systems are small, wall-mounted, single-zone heating and air units with cooling Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings near 30 compared to standard units with a typical SEER around 18. It is not uncommon in for homeowners to see substantial savings in their energy bills the first month after installation of a mini split system.
Mini split units solve multiple problems at once. High efficiency makes a ductless system an outstanding replacement for an older HVAC unit. The ability to connect multiple ductless units to one condensing unit creates a zone control system, bringing high efficiency to multiple rooms. These systems offer extra benefits for your home and can save you money overall.
Is your home right for a new ductless system? One call to Knueve & Sons at 419-532-3699 and we can survey your home to see which ductless system will serve you best. Request ductless system service online today.
Duct Cleaning
Just like your veins and arteries carry around blood, oxygen, and nutrients to each part of your body, your home’s air duct network transports heated and cooled air from your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to meet the needs of your entire family, regardless of which room they are in.
Knueve & Sons is dedicated to helping you keep your home’s circulatory system clean and in good working order through services such as air duct cleaning. When you call our team, we will send out trained professionals to inspect your air ducts, loosen the debris found in them, vacuum them out with powerful equipment, and flush the entire system to leave the inside of your air ducts free from dust and dirt.
Consider giving your home a little extra cleaning care by investing in duct cleaning services. Just like you clean the dust off the surfaces of things in your home as well as sweep, mop, and vacuum your floors, your air ducts accumulate a great deal of grime and dirt over the years.
Every family has dust, mites, dirt and insects in their air ducts. Those families who have pets may add dander to their air ducts, and remodeling debris can also gather in your home’s air ducts.

Furnaces
The last 10 years have seen incredible advancements in home-heating technology. The standard efficiency home furnace installed in most houses in is becoming obsolete. In its place is an impressive lineup of gas furnaces that do everything from make instant hot water, warm radiant floors, and feed radiator systems.
This new supply of gas heater is more compact and more efficient than ever. In addition to our fast furnace repair, replacing an older gas furnace with a new, 95 percent efficient condensing furnace is one of Knueve & Sons’s most common heating equipment calls.
A condensing furnace achieves high efficiency by using the hot combustion gasses, or flue gas, to add an additional stage of heating to the water. Extracting more heat from the flue gas causes the gas to condense in the furnace, creating cooler flue gases that can be vented with PVC pipe instead of expensive double wall flue pipes. homeowners realize immediate savings on their gas bills with a condensing furnace.
If you have an old electric furnace, call 419-532-3699 . We can work together to install a new high-efficiency furnace. Request furnace service online today.
Geothermal Heat Pumps
An increasing number of homeowners in are considering geothermal heat pumps when they get quotes to replace their existing systems. The US Department of Energy (DOE) reports that geothermal systems use 25 to 50 percent less electricity than standard heating and air units. Additionally, geothermal heating and cooling units often last 20 years or more versus 10 to 15 years for typical heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Unlike most HVAC units that use the atmosphere as a heat source and heat sink, a geothermal heat pump unit uses a series of underground pipes to make the earth the heat sink. The installation of the underground piping takes the place of the outdoor condensing unit found on most heating and air systems.
Not every company has the knowledge and experience to install geothermal heat pumps properly like we do at Knueve & Sons. A poor installation by an inexperienced contractor can mean the geothermal system provides little to no energy savings.
Call us at 419-532-3699 to let our team of experienced geothermal heat pump professionals help you decide which system is right for your home. Request geothermal heat pump service online today.
