Comprehensive Heating and Cooling Solutions for Your Home

When your furnace stops working on a frigid winter night or your air conditioner fails during a summer heat wave, you need a dependable HVAC contractor who understands the urgency of your situation. At Lew’s Reliable Heat & A/C, we’ve been responding to these critical calls since 1970, when Lew Schwentner established our company with a simple promise: fast repairs… fixed right. That commitment continues today under the leadership of his youngest daughter, Lisa Joles, who learned the heating and air conditioning business from her father, accompanying him on service calls from the time she was a little girl.

Our comprehensive approach to heating and cooling services encompasses everything from emergency repairs to complete system installations. We understand that HVAC systems are complex machines requiring expert knowledge to diagnose and repair properly. That’s why we employ North American Technician Excellence (NATE) certified technicians who bring decades of experience to every service call. Some of our technicians have been part of the family here for over 20 years, accumulating invaluable expertise in handling the unique climate challenges that homeowners face in Fairport Harbor, OH and the surrounding areas.

We hope you love us as much as we love you!

I had Lew's come out today to check and see if I could get by with replacing an inducer on my 29 year old furnace. Ed, the technician checked out the furnace condition and said while the furnace is definitely older, it looks in good shape and may last a couple more years and installed the inducer. I ...continue reading

My furnace stopped working in cold December weather and Lew’s was able to send a technician out the same day. The technician was friendly, knowledgeable and honest. To fix the problem, the tech needed to order a part, which came (and was installed the next day). My husband and I are very thankful ...continue reading

Heating Services That Keep You Comfortable All Winter

Your heating system works harder than almost any other appliance in your home, running continuously for months during the cold season. We specialize in servicing all types of heating equipment, including gas furnaces, electric heat pumps, boilers, and hybrid systems. Modern furnaces can achieve efficiency ratings of up to 98% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency), meaning they convert 98 cents of every dollar spent on fuel into usable heat. Our technicians help you understand these efficiency ratings and determine whether repairing or replacing your current system makes the most economic sense.

Regular maintenance is crucial for heating system longevity and efficiency. During our comprehensive tune-ups, we inspect heat exchangers for cracks that could lead to dangerous carbon monoxide leaks, clean burners to ensure proper combustion, check and adjust gas pressure for optimal performance, test safety controls, and replace filters to maintain good airflow. These preventive measures typically reduce heating costs by 15-20% while extending equipment life by several years. We also calibrate thermostats, lubricate moving parts, and inspect electrical connections to prevent unexpected breakdowns during the coldest days of winter.

Air Conditioning Services for Superior Summer Comfort

As a second-generation, family-owned heating and air conditioning sales and service company, we’ve witnessed tremendous advances in cooling technology over our 49-plus years serving residents of Lake and Geauga counties. Today’s air conditioning systems offer features like variable-speed compressors, smart thermostats, and advanced filtration systems that dramatically improve both comfort and indoor air quality. We service and install all major brands of central air conditioners, ductless mini-splits, and heat pump systems.

The cooling process involves complex refrigeration cycles where refrigerant absorbs heat from inside your home and releases it outdoors. Our technicians are experts at diagnosing refrigerant leaks, replacing failed compressors, repairing electrical components, and ensuring proper airflow through your ductwork. We understand that air conditioning problems often occur during heat waves when you need cooling most, which is why we prioritize emergency calls and work efficiently to restore your comfort quickly.

Indoor Air Quality and Comfort Solutions

Beyond temperature control, we focus on creating healthier indoor environments through advanced air quality solutions. Indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, according to EPA studies. We install and service whole-house air purification systems, UV germicidal lights, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers that work in conjunction with your HVAC system. These technologies remove allergens, bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants while maintaining optimal humidity levels between 30-50%, which prevents mold growth and reduces respiratory irritation.

Our expertise extends to ductwork evaluation and repair, recognizing that leaky or poorly designed ducts can waste 20-30% of the energy used by your heating and cooling system. We perform comprehensive duct inspections using specialized equipment to identify leaks, blockages, and areas where insulation has deteriorated. Proper duct sealing and insulation can significantly improve system efficiency and eliminate hot or cold spots in your home.
