A Breath of Fresh Air in HVAC
If you had told Gary Bendixen that a joke and an after-work outing with a coworker would turn into one of Troy’s most trusted HVAC companies, you’d have gotten a laugh. Now Air Heating & Refrigeration LLC has more than 44 years of service under its belt and a growing team of HVAC experts.
Having been a school teacher for many years, Gary has always been passionate about teaching. Growing up, Eleazar and Levi would accompany their father on a few jobs, watch him work, get the occasional cookies and cake, and learn what it took to be in the trade. As a family-owned business, they know how important the next generation is, and carry on the tradition of teaching their children on the job.
A Different Kind of Furnace Repair Company
Since founding Air Heating And Refrigeration in 1982, the Bendixen family has built the company around the belief that a grateful and positive attitude makes a meaningful difference.

Real Questions From Real Customers
Why is my upstairs hotter or colder than my downstairs?
There are several potential causes for this. The issue could stem from improperly balanced ductwork, airflow restrictions, insulation problems, or an HVAC system that isn't properly sized for your home's needs. The only way to know for sure is with a proper diagnosis. At Air Heating & Refrigeration LLC, we'll identify the cause of the problem, explain your options, and recommend the solution that makes the most sense for your home and budget.
Do I need to cover my AC during winter?
In most cases, covering your air conditioner isn't necessary. Outdoor units are designed to withstand the elements year-round. However, if your unit sits beneath trees, placing a board or cover over the top can help prevent leaves, sticks, and other debris from collecting inside the cabinet.
What’s the most common furnace problem?
One of the most common furnace issues we encounter is a dirty or faulty flame sensor. The flame sensor is a safety component that confirms your furnace burners have successfully ignited. When it becomes dirty, the furnace may start briefly and then shut down, leaving you without heat. Fortunately, flame sensor issues are often relatively simple to diagnose and repair.
