  • What services does RK Heating Plumbing Cooling offer?

    We provide comprehensive heating, cooling, and plumbing services for residential and commercial customers. This includes furnace repair, boiler service, air conditioning installation, heat pump installation, heat pump water heater upgrades, plumbing repairs, water heater replacements, and routine maintenance.

  • Are your technicians licensed and insured?

    Yes. All our technicians are fully licensed, certified, and insured to ensure high-quality and reliable service on every job.

  • Do you offer emergency services?

    Yes. We provide prompt emergency services for urgent heating, cooling, or plumbing problems. If your system fails unexpectedly, we’ll help restore comfort and safety as quickly as possible.

  • When should I call for furnace repair?

    You should contact us for furnace repair if you notice any of the following:

    • Uneven or insufficient heating
    • Strange noises or odors
    • Frequent cycling on and off
    • Rising energy bills
    • The furnace fails to turn on

    Addressing issues early helps prevent costly breakdowns and extends the life of your system.


  • How often should my furnace be serviced?

    We recommend annual furnace maintenance before the heating season begins. Regular service improves efficiency, increases reliability, and helps prevent unexpected failures.

  • Do you install and service heat pumps?

    Yes. We specialize in both heat pump installation and maintenance. Heat pumps are energy-efficient, provide year-round comfort, and can be paired with a backup heating system for added performance.

  • How do I know whether to repair or replace my air conditioner?

    Consider replacement if your AC is over 12–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or no longer cools efficiently. If the issue is minor and the system is still in good condition, repair may be the more cost-effective option.

  • Do heat pumps provide air conditioning as well?

    Yes. A heat pump cools your home in the summer and heats it in the winter by moving heat in or out of your home, depending on the season.

  • What plumbing services do you offer?

    Our plumbing services include leak detection, pipe repair, fixture replacement, drain cleaning, and installation or repair of traditional and heat pump water heaters.

  • What is a heat pump water heater, and why choose one?

    A heat pump water heater uses electricity to move heat rather than generate it, making it significantly more energy-efficient than traditional electric water heaters. Homeowners often choose them to lower utility costs and reduce environmental impact.

  • Do you install and repair water heaters?

    Absolutely. We install and service standard tank water heaters, tankless models, and heat pump water heaters. Our technicians can help you choose the best option for your home’s needs.

  • How often should HVAC systems be inspected?

    Heating and cooling systems should be inspected at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps extend equipment life, improve efficiency, and reduce the likelihood of breakdowns.

  • How do you determine repair costs?

    Repair pricing depends on parts, labor, and system complexity. Our technicians provide transparent, upfront pricing before any work begins.
