About Us

Earl's Heating & Air Conditioning has been proudly serving Northwest Indiana since 1975, and we’ve been family-owned and operated ever since, and we’ve built this company on honesty and integrity. Customer service comes first and foremost, and you can expect to see this reflected in our front desk staff, our technicians, and anyone you work with in the company.

We have a saying around here—“It’s all a matter of pride!” The work that we do, the way that we treat our customers, and the way that we run our company all reflect our belief that it takes honest, reliable people to run a good company. That’s why we’ve been around for so long, and that’s why we’ll continue to be around for all of your heating, air conditioning, and indoor air quality needs.

Our History

Earl F. Christensen – Founder (Retired).

Earl started in heating and air conditioning in 1953. After working for two companies in 23 years, Earl started Earl's Heating & Air Conditioning in 1975. Soon after breaking ground with the new business at 4440 W. 61st Ave. in Hobart, Indiana, Earl brought on sons, Dave and Ken in 1976. Earl worked full time for 11 more years and then semi-retired in 1988 at the age of 65. In the fall of 2000, Earl completely retired and moved to Washington State to live with his daughter Karen. He happily lives in a log cabin with a perfect view of Mt. Rainer. Earl is 86 years old now and doing very well. For those of you who know him, he has had his knees replaced which has given him a new lease on life.

We became a Trane dealer in 2002.

In 2014 Earl's Heating & Air Conditioning moved to our present location at 5050 W. Lincoln Hwy Schererville , Indiana. We are half way between Highways 65 & 41 on Route 30 and very easy to find.

One of the great qualities about Earl (other than the fact that he was probably the best repairman in Northwest Indiana) is his honesty and integrity. This continues to be the most important quality for us.

"It’s All a Matter of Pride!"

We take pride in the work that we do, so we aim to do the highest caliber of work no matter what the job is. We might only be replacing a small electrical component of your heater, cleaning off an air conditioning coil, or changing a filter, but we’ll still treat the job like it’s the most important one we’ve done all month. Pride means a lot of things to us, and we will always stand by our motto:

P – Professionalism

R – Reliability

I – Integrity

D – Dedication

E – Experience

Our Qualifications

We are a Trane Comfort Specialist Dealer.

We have been given the Trane Distinguished Dealer award for the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana area 5 years running. Very few dealers achieve this honor and we take great pride in it.

We are heating and cooling professionals! We maintain a high level of quality among our staff. Our installers and technicians attend regular training classes certified by industry organizations.

Quality Products and Services

When you schedule installation or service with us, you can expect quality parts and products and repairs that hold up for a long time to come. In fact, we offer a one–year repair guarantee, including parts and labor. We provide service for all makes and models of HVAC equipment. And our technicians are electronically dispatched, which means that they have every customer’s service history at their fingertips.

We’ve been Trane Comfort Specialists and dealers since 2002, and we specialize in boiler systems, indoor air quality systems, and Navien tankless water heaters. And when we inspect a heating system, we use video heat exchanger inspections to see that you’re safe from CO poisoning, something that few local companies can do. And this is only part of what makes us special.

An Excellent Maintenance Program

One of the most important things you can do for an HVAC system is to schedule regular services to keep it in top condition. HVAC maintenance services help to improve efficiency and performance, but an HVAC maintenance plan can provide you with even more benefits.

Our maintenance plans follow ENERGY STAR recommendations along with national standards for residential maintenance. You get yearly maintenance visits and reminder service, annual or monthly payment options, and your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. You also get priority emergency service. When it’s peak season and the phones are ringing off the hook, you take priority over non–protection plan customers. You will always get a discounted service call rate as long as you’re a member, and you get up to a 25% discount on all repairs.

People You Can Trust

When you get in touch with Earl's Heating & Air Conditioning, you’re reaching out to people you can trust in your home. We treat you and your home with respect. Our technicians are clean and organized, and they’ll work to ensure quality while doing the job in a time manner. Everyone who works on your system is EPA–certified and NATE–certified, and that’s one of the most widely known and respected certifications in the industry. We’ve held the Trane Distinguished Dealer award for Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana area since 2002. And our customers love us: just check out our A+ rating with Angie’s List and with the Better Business Bureau.

It’s all a matter of pride!
