Heating
Heater Install
New heating equipment selected and installed for real Montana design temperatures — gas furnaces, unit heaters and add-on heat for spaces ductwork never reached.
Heater Repair
No heat, weak heat or a heater that quits mid-cycle — measured diagnosis and a firm price before the repair starts.
Heater Maintenance
Yearly cleaning, safety testing and tuning so your heat is ready before the first hard freeze in the Jefferson Valley.
Furnace Replacement
Honest repair-versus-replace math, then a clean change-out sized and vented correctly for our altitude.
Furnace Install
New gas furnace installation done to code: proper venting, gas sizing, altitude derate and a commissioning report.
Furnace Maintenance
Annual furnace cleaning and safety inspection — burners, flame signal, heat exchanger, draft and temperature rise.
Furnace Repair
Ignition faults, short cycling, blower failures and no-heat calls repaired the first time, with a free consultation.
Furnace Service
Full forced-air service visits: combustion testing, static pressure, filtration and controls checked end to end.
Cooling
AC Install
Right-sized air conditioning installed and commissioned properly — load-based sizing, correct charge, verified airflow.
AC Repair
Warm air, a condenser that won't start, iced coils or a breaker that keeps tripping — found and fixed fast.
AC Maintenance
Spring tune-ups that catch weak capacitors and low charge before the first 90-degree afternoon does it for you.
Air Conditioning Install
Adding cooling to a home that never had it, or replacing a tired system — line sets, coils, condenser pads and clean commissioning.
Air Conditioner Repair
Refrigerant leaks, failed contactors, blower faults and control problems diagnosed with gauges and meters, not guesses.
Air Conditioner Maintenance
Coil cleaning, drain care, electrical checks and performance testing to protect capacity and keep power bills sane.
Comfort & Air Quality
Residential HVAC
Whole-home heating and cooling as one system: equipment, ductwork, airflow, controls and indoor air quality.
Humidifiers
Whole-house humidification for Montana winters — no more cracked trim, static shocks and dry sinuses at 12% humidity.
Unit Heaters
Shop, barn and garage unit heaters installed, serviced and tuned so your workspace stays workable in January.
UV Lights
Coil-mounted germicidal UV that keeps evaporator coils and drain pans clean, protecting airflow and indoor air.

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.
Serving the Jefferson Valley
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 30-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 replacement 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 furnace replacement page for how we make that call.
Do you install humidifiers and UV lights too?+
Yes. Whole-house humidifiers solve the very dry indoor air of a Montana winter, and coil-mounted UV lights keep evaporator coils and drain pans clean. Both mount to your existing system in a few hours.
