What we do

Every service your home needs to stay comfortable.

All services
Diagnostic from $79

AC & Furnace Repair

Same-day diagnosis, honest fix, upfront pricing.

From frozen coils to cracked heat exchangers, our techs carry the parts most repairs need on the truck so you're cool (or warm) again before dinner. Every repair starts with a flat-rate $79 diagnostic fee, which is waived if you book the repair with us.

Free in-home quotes

New System Installation

High-efficiency systems sized right for your home.

We perform a full Manual J heat-load calculation on every install so the system is sized for your actual home, not a sales quota. You get three equipment options at different efficiency tiers with honest payback math on each one.

From $19 / month

Maintenance Plans

Two tune-ups a year. Priority service. No diagnostic fees.

Members get a spring AC tune-up, a fall heat tune-up, meaningful repair discounts, priority dispatch, and no diagnostic fees. The average member saves $340/year and avoids the call that ends a summer weekend.

Packages from $389

Duct Cleaning & Indoor Air Quality

Cleaner air, less dust, fewer allergens.

Full whole-home duct cleaning using truck-mounted vacuum and rotary brush system, followed by antimicrobial sanitation. We also install UV air purifiers, MERV-13 media filters, and whole-home humidifiers.

Rebates up to $2,000

Heat Pumps & Mini-Splits

Quiet, efficient heating and cooling in one system.

Ductless mini-splits for that one always-hot room, or full home heat pump conversions with Inflation Reduction Act rebates and financing built into the quote. Heat pumps can cut heating costs by up to 50% over gas in mild climates.

Custom service agreements

Light Commercial

Restaurants, offices, and retail under 25 tons.

Rooftop unit service, replacement, and preventative maintenance contracts that keep your business comfortable and your tenants happy. We offer priority commercial SLAs with guaranteed response times.

Why Northstar

Eighteen years. One promise: do it right.

We were founded in 2006 by a Cincinnati homeowner who got burned by a contractor. Every policy we have written since then starts with the same question: is this what we would want if it were our own home?

How it works

From your call to a working system, step by step.

01

You call or book online

A live dispatcher answers 24/7. For routine service, online booking confirms your slot in under two minutes. You choose your preferred window.

02

Tech profile sent by text

30 minutes before arrival you receive your technician's name, photo, and certifications. You know exactly who is coming to your door.

03

Diagnosis and flat-rate quote

Your tech diagnoses the issue, then presents a flat-rate price before touching a single component. You approve, decline, or ask questions. Zero pressure.

04

Repair or install completed

97% of repairs are finished on the first visit with parts from the truck. Installs are typically scheduled within 48 hours and completed in one day.

05

Quality check and walkthrough

Before we leave, your tech runs the system through a full operational check and walks you through what was done and what to watch for.

06

Warranty and follow-up

Your repair comes with a 1-year parts and labor warranty. We follow up by text the next day to confirm everything is running perfectly.

Installation day

Most new systems are installed in a single day.

Our install crews arrive with your system on the truck, remove and haul away the old equipment, and complete startup and testing before leaving. You come home to a working system and a clean job site.

What homeowners say

Five-star reviews, one truck at a time.

"AC died at 9pm on the Fourth of July. Northstar had a tech at the house by 10:30 and we slept comfortably. Saved our entire weekend."

Brian H.

Anderson Township

"Got three quotes for a new furnace. Northstar was not the cheapest but they were the only company that did a real heat-loss calculation before quoting. Two winters in and the system is perfect."

Megan S.

Mason

"The maintenance plan paid for itself the first year. They caught a failing capacitor in the spring tune-up that would have cooked the compressor in July."

Devon R.

Hyde Park

"I called three other companies for an emergency on a Sunday. Northstar was the only one that actually answered. Tech was polite, fast, and upfront about the cost. Will never call anyone else."

Carla W.

Blue Ash

"They replaced our 22-year-old system and walked us through three tiers of equipment with honest payback numbers. I felt like I was talking to an engineer, not a salesperson."

Todd K.

West Chester

"The duct cleaning made a visible difference. I was skeptical but our filters are staying cleaner longer and my daughter's allergy symptoms have noticeably improved."

Sarah M.

Montgomery
