Knowing when to call the heating experts
You’ve been hearing funny noises coming from your furnace for a while now, but now the fan won’t stop running. If this sounds like your home heating system, you could have a furnace problem. Before you call an HVAC company, first be sure your fan is on the right setting. You might want to set your thermostat to “Auto” rather than “on.” This will help prevent your furnace from overworking during a heating cycle and driving up your utility costs.
Second, check your furnace filter. If it is dirty, it can cause your fan to work overtime and lead to a breakdown. If you’ve reviewed your furnace settings and changed your filter and you’re still having problems with your heating, call the HVAC specialists at Harker. They can help troubleshoot the problem and provide during an in-home assessment.
Air Conditioning Installation and Repair Services
Beat the summer heat with a new air conditioning system
After long chilly winters, residents of Monona live for the summer months — which means your air conditioning system needs to be in tip-top shape. Before the mercury rises on the thermometer, it’s best to prepare your A/C unit for the heat.
A few steps to perform air conditioning maintenance should include:
- Changing the filters, and replacing used filters about every two months
- Wiping down the condensation lines, and checking for leaks
- Cleaning the fins on the outside of the unit.
If you notice your air conditioning system running sluggishly even after taking a DIY approach, call the A/C specialists at Harker. We’ve been repairing or replacing residential air conditioning systems for more than six decades and will know exactly what your home needs.
Our air conditioning contractor services include:
- Quick diagnosis and repair of malfunctioning units
- Professional installation of new air conditioning systems
- Annual maintenance to keep your system running efficiently
- Advice on energy-efficient cooling options that fit your budget
If you’re tired of struggling with an old, inefficient air conditioner, we can help you explore modern alternatives like heat pumps, which provide both heating and cooling in one system. We’re a Carrier Distinguished Dealer, which means we work with some of the industry’s most trusted equipment manufacturers.
Professional HVAC Maintenance Plans
Prevention beats emergency repair every time. We offer maintenance plans that keep your heating and cooling systems running smoothly year-round. Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become expensive problems.
When you’re on one of our maintenance plans, we handle seasonal tune-ups, inspect key components, check refrigerant levels, clean filters, and identify any potential concerns early. Most people find that a small annual investment in maintenance saves them hundreds in emergency repairs down the road.
Indoor Air Quality Solutions for Monona Homes
HVAC isn’t just about temperature. The air you breathe matters too. We offer a full range of indoor air quality solutions, including air filtration systems, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and air duct cleaning services.
If you suffer from allergies, have family members with respiratory issues, or just want cleaner air in your home, we can help. Our technicians assess your current air quality and recommend solutions that actually make a difference. We also offer radon mitigation services and bipolar ionization systems for advanced air purification.
Need a system for healthy indoor air?
Sometimes opening windows just isn’t enough. At Harker, it is our goal to make your home as comfortable as possible, and that includes the air your family breathes. In the U.S., the concentrations of some pollutants can be up to 2 to 5 times worse indoors than outside. If indoor air quality is a concern in your home, Harker’s IAQ experts can provide you with a host healthy air options.
With a whole-home fresh air system, your family members won’t have to suffer in a musty, humid, or stale environment. Our ventilation systems are built with state-of-the-art filtration systems to remove harmful substances such as dust, pollen, allergies, VOCs, mold spores and more. We also carry portable air filtration units.
Water leaking from bottom of water heater
Most Monona residents have experienced water heater issues at some time, but how do you know when it’s time to replace your water heater? The most obvious answer is age. According to HVAC experts, a water heater should be replaced roughly every 10 years, but other problems may emerge before then. For example, is your water tank leaking? A small puddle could simply be condensation, but it could also be a sign of corrosion, a loose fitting connection, or a broken valve.
Whatever problem your water heater is experiencing, Harker is here to help.

Local HVAC Contractor Who Understands Monona
We’re not a large, impersonal corporation sending crews from out of town. We’re a locally-owned company with roots here in Dane County. Our technicians know the neighborhoods, understand Monona’s weather patterns, and care about serving our community.
We started in 1949 with one simple commitment: get the job done right and treat people honestly. That hasn’t changed in over seven decades. Every technician who walks into your home is trained, professional, and ready to listen to your concerns.

We believe in transparency. No surprise charges. No pressure to buy services you don’t need. When you call us for an estimate, you get an honest assessment of what your system needs. If a repair will get you through the season, we’ll say so. If a replacement makes more sense, we’ll explain why and walk you through your options.
We also believe in accountability. If we install a new system, it’s covered by our workmanship guarantee. We back up our work because we want you to feel confident in your investment.
Financing Options to Make HVAC Services More Accessible
We understand that major HVAC work is a significant expense. That’s why we offer flexible financing options to help spread costs over time. We also help customers explore federal energy tax credits and rebates that may apply to high-efficiency equipment.

People Also Ask: HVAC Questions Monona Residents Frequently Have
How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?
We recommend annual maintenance—ideally in spring for your air conditioner and fall for your furnace. Regular tune-ups catch problems early and keep your system running efficiently.
What’s the difference between a furnace repair and replacement?
If your furnace is under 15 years old and the repair cost is reasonable, repair makes sense. If it’s older and the repair is expensive, a new high-efficiency furnace often pays for itself through energy savings.
How do I know if my air conditioner needs repair or replacement?
If repairs keep piling up or your unit is 12+ years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective long-term. We can help you compare the numbers.
Are heat pumps a good option in Wisconsin?
Absolutely. Modern heat pumps provide efficient heating and cooling, even in cold climates. They’re becoming increasingly popular in our area.
What should I expect during a furnace maintenance visit?
Our technician will inspect your system, check safety controls, test your thermostat, clean components, replace filters, and give you a detailed report of what we found.
Water Heaters and Additional Services
Beyond heating and cooling, we also install and maintain water heaters and water softening systems. If you’re interested in upgrading your water heater for better efficiency or adding a water softener, our team can handle that too.
