Heating and cooling in Nicholasville homes
Nicholasville's homes are newer than most in Central Kentucky: the Census Bureau puts the median year built at 1993. About 62% of homes heat with electricity, such as a heat pump or electric furnace, and about 37% use natural gas. That makes heat pump care a big part of our Nicholasville work: defrost questions, aux heat that runs too often, and systems from the 1990s and 2000s that have reached the point where repair and replacement should be priced side by side.
