Why neighbors call first

A straight answer and a fair price

1st Call Heating & A/C Services LLC is a locally owned Montana HVAC contractor working out of Whitehall. That means the person who answers your call is the person who shows up, looks at your equipment, and explains what it needs in plain language — no call center, no upsell script, no surprise line items on the invoice.

We diagnose before we quote. If a $180 igniter fixes your furnace, we'll say so instead of pushing a system you don't need yet. And when a system genuinely is finished, we'll show you why and price a change-out honestly.

Free consultation

Every diagnosis conversation and written quote costs you nothing.

Local, not regional

Whitehall based, serving Cardwell, Butte, Boulder and Three Forks.

Right-sized equipment

Sizing based on real Montana design temperatures, not guesswork.

Clean, safe work

Combustion, venting and gas connections verified before we leave.

HVAC built for how Montana actually heats and cools

Whitehall sits above 4,300 feet with winter design temperatures well below zero and summer afternoons that can push past 90. That combination is hard on equipment: furnaces run long cycles for months, then air conditioners get asked to pull down a house that's been baking since noon. Add hard water, valley dust, wildfire smoke in late summer, and outbuildings heated by gas unit heaters, and you get a service mix you won't find in a milder climate.

We plan around that. Altitude derating on gas equipment, filtration that survives smoke season, blower settings tuned for long low-fire runs instead of short blasts, and condensate routing that won't freeze off. It's the difference between a system that technically works and one that carries your household through February without a service call.

Whether you're in town on a city lot, out toward Cardwell, up the Boulder river side, or over the hill in Butte, you get the same approach and the same free consultation.

Common questions

Before you call us

What areas around Whitehall, MT do you serve?+

We're based at 87 Curlew Ln in Whitehall and cover roughly a 50-mile radius, including Cardwell, Butte, Boulder, Three Forks, Twin Bridges, Silver Star, Harrison, Willow Creek, Waterloo and the ranch properties in between. If you're not sure whether you're in range, call (406) 266-1675 and we'll tell you straight.

Is the consultation really free?+

Yes. Every quote and consultation is free, whether you're weighing a furnace repair against a change-out or planning a unit heater for a new shop. You'll get a clear scope and price before any work begins.

How soon can you get to my no-heat call?+

Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and no-heat calls in Whitehall and the surrounding valley get priority scheduling. Call early in the day for the best chance at same-day service during cold snaps.

Do you work on both residential and light commercial systems?+

We do. Homes, ranch outbuildings, shops, garages and small commercial spaces around Jefferson and Madison counties all run the same forced-air furnaces, split-system ACs and gas unit heaters we service every week.

Should I repair my old furnace or replace it?+

It depends on age, the cost of the repair, and how the heat exchanger and blower are holding up. We give you the real numbers on both paths — see our HVAC equipment change-outs page for how we make that call.
