How our NATE-certified technicians deliver quality hvac installation results from start to finish.
We survey your property, assess your existing HVAC infrastructure, and perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the correct system size. We evaluate ductwork condition, electrical capacity, and equipment location options.
Our South Lebanon team presents two to three system options matched to your load calculation. We compare SEER2 and AFUE ratings, explain the differences between single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed equipment, and factor in available manufacturer rebates, utility incentives, and federal tax credits for South Lebanon homeowners.
KIC Refrigeration installs HVAC systems in South Lebanon, OH to the highest standards. We set equipment on level, vibration-isolated mounting, braze all refrigerant connections with nitrogen flowing, pressure test with dry nitrogen, evacuate to below 500 microns, charge by weight, seal all duct connections with mastic, and verify gas piping sizing and connections.
We start the new system, verify operation in all modes, measure airflow, check refrigerant charge, program the thermostat, register the warranty, and provide you with all documentation including equipment manuals, warranty cards, and commissioning readings.

Complete HVAC installation in South Lebanon ranges from $7,000 to $15,000 for a mid-efficiency furnace and AC combination — typically an 80 percent AFUE furnace paired with a 14.3 to 16 SEER2 condenser. High-efficiency systems with variable-speed blowers and two-stage or variable-speed compressors run $12,000 to $22,000 but deliver significantly lower operating costs and qualify for federal tax credits. Heat pump systems fall between $5,000 and $18,000 depending on whether the system is single-stage, variable-speed, or a dual-fuel configuration. Ductwork modifications or new duct runs add $1,000 to $5,000. KIC Refrigeration provides detailed written proposals for South Lebanon homeowners with every cost itemized and no hidden fees.
A properly installed and maintained HVAC system in South Lebanon typically lasts 15 to 20 years for the gas furnace and 12 to 18 years for the air conditioner or heat pump outdoor unit. Variable-speed equipment tends to last on the higher end of these ranges because it runs at reduced capacity most of the time, causing less thermal and mechanical stress on components. The three biggest factors in equipment lifespan are installation quality, annual professional maintenance, and regular filter changes every 1 to 3 months. KIC Refrigeration offers maintenance plans for South Lebanon homeowners that include seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, and repair discounts to help you get the maximum life from your investment.
A standard furnace and AC replacement in South Lebanon takes 1 to 2 days when existing ductwork, gas piping, and electrical service are adequate and the new equipment fits in the same location. A complete system replacement that includes ductwork modifications, new trunk lines, equipment relocation from basement to attic or vice versa, electrical panel upgrades, or zoning system installation may take 3 to 5 days. Multi-zone mini-split installations with 3 to 5 indoor heads typically take 2 to 3 days. KIC Refrigeration provides a clear timeline in every proposal, coordinates scheduling around your South Lebanon home availability, and keeps you informed on progress every step of the way.
Correct HVAC system sizing is determined by a Manual J residential load calculation — the ACCA industry standard — that accounts for your home square footage, ceiling height, insulation R-values, window area and U-factor, air infiltration rate, duct losses, occupancy, and the local OH winter and summer design temperatures. As a rough reference, a well-insulated 2,000-square-foot home in South Lebanon typically needs a 2.5 to 3.5 ton system, while a poorly insulated home of the same size may need 4 tons. KIC Refrigeration never estimates by rule of thumb — we run a proper calculation for your specific South Lebanon home to avoid oversizing, which causes short cycling, high humidity, and premature compressor wear.
Our reputation is built on certified technicians, honest pricing, and results that last.
"KIC Refrigeration replaced our old window units with a mini split system. Night and day difference in comfort and noise level. Wish we had done it sooner."
"Heat pump was not heating properly. They found a bad reversing valve and had it swapped out the next day. House is warm again and the system runs great."
"Called for a second opinion on an HVAC installation quote from another company. They came in significantly lower with better equipment. Glad I shopped around."
