Rooted Mechanical Heating & Air is a heating contractor based in Elkins, working across Northwest Arkansas on furnaces, heat pumps and dual fuel systems for homes and light commercial properties. Whether the heat quit last night or the system has been limping for three winters, this page points you at the part of the work you actually need.
Four kinds of heating work, and the one that fits depends on what the system is doing now.
No heat, lukewarm air, a system that starts and stops, or one that runs without reaching the thermostat. That is a diagnosis first.
Furnace and heating repair
An older furnace with repairs stacking up winter after winter, and the question of whether another one is worth paying for.
Furnace replacement
A first system, an addition, or new construction, sized from the building rather than from the old equipment.
Heating installation
One system that heats and cools, on its own or paired with gas heat for the coldest stretches.
Heat pump installation
Finding the component that failed, and why it failed, is the job on a repair. Swapping parts until the symptom stops is not. On an install it is the same idea from the other direction: a correctly sized system with sealed duct connections, correct gas and electrical work and verified airflow will outperform better equipment that went in quickly.
There is a safety side to heating that cooling does not have. Gas heat involves combustion, venting and a heat exchanger, so a heating diagnosis includes whether the system is safe to keep running, not only whether it still makes heat. If you smell gas or suspect carbon monoxide, leave the building and call your gas utility before you call us.
We are based in Elkins rather than passing through it, and we work across Northwest Arkansas. Licensed under #0006641, insured, and working on both residential and light commercial equipment.
Gas furnaces, heat pumps and dual fuel systems. Diagnostics and repair, full system replacements, new installs and the heating side of new construction. Heat pump work has its own pages, for installation and for repair, because heat pumps fail in ways a furnace cannot.
If a repair will hold, we say so. If it will not, we explain what replacing the system involves before you are asked to decide anything.
Short, direct answers to the questions we hear most.
