AmeriHeat serves Rochester with honest, owner-operated HVAC service. Furnace, AC, boiler, heat pump, and fuel oil work. Justin and Colby handle every job personally. Same-day service available.
No heat in winter, no cool in a heat wave, busted lines. We answer the phone day or night, weekends included.
AmeriHeat is not a franchise. We are owner-operated, which means Justin and Colby handle every job personally. When you call, you talk to the people who actually show up at your house.
We service every system type. Gas furnaces, oil furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, central AC, and ductless mini-splits. We give you the price before any work begins. No surprises. No upsells in the driveway.
Most of our customers found us after a bad experience with a franchise HVAC company. Big trucks, different techs every visit, pressure to replace instead of repair. We keep the team small on purpose. That is how we keep the work right.
Justin VanCassele and Colby Baker run AmeriHeat together. Colby is a veteran. Both owners are on jobs every week across Rochester and Monroe, Wayne and Ontario Counties.
Give them a call. They actually pick up.
If you live in Rochester and your heat goes out in January or your AC quits in July, you need a company that answers the phone, gives you a straight price, and shows up. That is what we do.
Rochester has a mix of housing that ranges from pre-war bungalows in the city to post-war ranches in Greece and Irondequoit to new builds out in Pittsford and Victor. That variety matters for HVAC because the system you need depends on what the house was built for.
Many older Rochester homes still run on fuel oil or have steam boilers. Most Rochester HVAC companies have stopped servicing these systems because the work is specialized and the parts are harder to source. We have not. AmeriHeat is one of the few local companies that still handles fuel oil furnaces, steam boilers, and oil-to-gas conversions.
Newer builds in Rochester use forced air and more recently heat pumps. We install and service those too. If you have ductwork, we handle central AC and gas furnace. If you do not have ductwork, we install ductless mini-split systems that give you room-by-room comfort without tearing up walls.
Every HVAC service a Rochester home or small business typically needs is handled in-house:
Rochester is our home base, so response times are fast. Most repair calls in the city and close-in suburbs get a same-day visit. We route Justin or Colby and the technicians based on who is closest. Emergencies, especially no-heat calls in winter, jump the queue.
For installs and replacements, we come out for a free estimate, walk the house with you, size the system properly, give you the cost in writing, and schedule the work. No pressure to sign on the spot. You decide after you see the number.
We also keep common repair parts on the truck so we can fix a lot of problems on the first visit. Blower motors, ignitors, capacitors, pressure switches, contactors. If we do need to order a part, we tell you the timing upfront so you can plan.
Rochester winters are hard on heating systems. The cold stretches are long, the thermostat runs nonstop, and small problems compound. Annual maintenance catches those problems before they become emergency calls on the coldest day of the year.
Summers are harder on AC than people expect. Rochester humidity pushes systems to work beyond cooling the air. A system that was fine for a few summers can start to short-cycle or ice up once the coils get dirty and the filter has not been changed in a year.
If your heating or cooling bill has gone up without explanation, if the system runs constantly without cooling or heating the house evenly, or if you hear new noises, call. Those are all signs the system needs attention. In most cases a repair is the right answer. When a replacement makes more sense we tell you and show the math.
Age matters too. A gas furnace typically runs 15 to 20 years. A central AC unit runs 12 to 15 years. Fuel oil furnaces often run longer when maintained. If your system is at or past those ages and you are making repair calls, it is worth looking at replacement numbers so you are not surprised by a failure in January.
AmeriHeat is an authorized Heil dealer. Heil makes solid residential HVAC equipment at a fair price, which fits how we work. We also install and service Gree, Thermo-Pride, Rheem, and Lennox. If you already have a different brand, we can service it and help you plan a replacement when the time is right.
We do not push any specific brand on you. We recommend what fits your home, your fuel type, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in the house. That is the only conversation worth having.
We serve all of Monroe County, most of Ontario County, and a big chunk of Wayne County. Regular service area includes Rochester proper, Fairport, Pittsford, Webster, Penfield, Brighton, Henrietta, Greece, Irondequoit, and Gates. Ontario County covers Victor, Canandaigua, Farmington, Manchester, and Phelps. Wayne County covers Williamson, Palmyra, Walworth, Macedon, and Sodus.
If you are outside our normal radius, call and ask. We take plenty of one-off jobs across the Finger Lakes region, especially for fuel oil service and oil-to-gas conversion work that other companies will not touch.
