Whole House Generators in Waco

Standby generators that keep your home running in an outage.

Power outages can strike without warning, and in Kentucky, severe storms and winter ice can knock out the power for hours or days. A whole house generator keeps your home running when the grid goes down. As a local, family-owned business, we know how unpredictable the weather can be, and 1st Service Heating and Air has been helping homeowners in Richmond, Winchester, Lexington and the surrounding area stay comfortable and safe since 2016. Our team has more than 45 years of combined industry experience. Here is what a whole house generator does for you. It gives you an uninterrupted power supply, so the lights stay on, the refrigerator stays cold, and your heating and cooling keep running for as long as the outage lasts. It protects the things that cannot go without power, like refrigerators, medical equipment and sump pumps. It makes your home safer, because lights and security systems keep working at night when the neighborhood is dark. And it is built to stand up to weather, so it is ready when the storm hits. Because we are an HVAC company, we understand how a generator fits with your furnace, your air conditioner and the rest of your home. We take the time to look at what you want to keep running and talk through the options before you decide. You get a free estimate and upfront pricing, with no hidden costs. We aim for same-day scheduling when we can, and we can help you spread out the cost with flexible financing options. Our work is backed by our 2-year workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Do not wait for the next outage to find out how much you need one. Call us or send the form to ask about a whole house generator. We will explain how it works and what it can power in your home.

Cheryl M.

Richard L.

I was having trouble with one of my air conditioning units not working correctly, so I called and spoke to Rachel . She was so nice and got me scheduled just a few days later. Her husband, Butch, came out , and he was just as nice and honest about everything, unlike some companies I’ve used in the past. Let’s just say this was my first time using this company,and it definitely wont be my last. From now on, this is the only company I’ll be calling.

Ann H.

Dustin always goes beyond what is absolutely necessary in testing, maintaining, repairing and explaining. He and his assistants are careful to keep things neat and clean. This time we had 1st Service install a new unit to replace our 23 year old auxiliary heating and AC unit. Work was done in a day with no inconvenience to us. We also appreciate the annual plan that covers two visits per year and gets us a percentage off additional purchases.

Rita K.

We are very happy customers of 1st Service Heating and Air. Great service! When we bought our unit everything was explained in simple terms. The maintenance has been a good buy for us.

Whitney B.

I received a large portable AC unit to use while my system was being worked on. I still have a warranty and service agreement, so the price was very reasonable. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Nada H.

Added lightening arresting devices to the mini-splits. Excellent workmanship skills. Well pleased with the service. Pleasant attitude. Would hire again! No problems, whatsoever!

John S.

Honest, personable, dependable, stands by their work, reasonably priced. It’s a family business and feels like family. Actually they were recommended by my mom years ago. It was my first good experience with an HVAC company. We wouldn’t use anyone else.

Jennifer B.

Dustin and Butch are qualified professionals. They have repaired my heating, and air conditioning units. They are honest, kind men. Today is 18 degrees, Dustin repaired my heat pump. Last summer it was 95 degrees and they repaired my AC. Work is done in a timely manner, no mess. There is no price gouging with this company. They don't leave until they are sure everything is working properly. Highly recommend this company.
