About Eric's Heating & Air LLC
A Decade of Integrity in the New River Valley

Eric Linkous founded Eric's Heating & Air LLC in 2015 after spending years in development. During that time, he noticed something that bothered him: too many service contractors prioritized sales over the customer's actual needs. He decided to build something different, a company rooted in the values his father instilled in him, focused on honest work, fair pricing, and long-term relationships with the community he grew up in. Today, Eric's HVAC is a BBB member, an authorized Trane dealer, and a recognized HVAC contractor across Christiansburg, Blacksburg, and the broader Montgomery County area.

Why Montgomery County Chooses Eric's HVAC
What Makes Us Different from Other HVAC Contractors in Virginia
Larger HVAC companies often come with long wait times, rotating technicians, and a sales-first mindset. Eric's Heating & Air was built as a direct alternative to that model. You get consistent service from a company that knows your area, values your time, and puts your long-term interests ahead of a quick sale.

Common Questions About Our HVAC Services in Virginia
Answers to What Customers Ask Most Often

  • How much does it cost to have someone come out and look at my HVAC system?

    Eric's Heating & Air charges a flat $70 call charge for diagnostic visits. This covers the technician's time to assess your system and identify what's wrong. The goal of keeping this fee accessible is straightforward: the company believes you should be able to get an honest evaluation without worrying about the cost of just asking for help. Many customers note this rate is lower than what they've seen from other HVAC contractors in the Montgomery County area.

  • Does the company genuinely try to repair my existing system before recommending a replacement?

    Yes, and this is a core part of how the business operates. Before any replacement is suggested, the technician evaluates whether your current system, including older and antique units, can be repaired in a way that genuinely benefits you. If a repair is viable and cost-effective, that's what you'll hear. If a replacement makes more sense given the condition and age of the equipment, you'll get an honest explanation of why. Customers consistently mention in reviews that they were never pressured into buying something they didn't need.

  • Which cities and towns in Virginia does Eric's Heating & Air cover?

    The primary service area covers Christiansburg and Blacksburg, with regular service extending to Radford, Shawsville, Elliston, Riner, Pilot, Floyd, and Salem throughout Montgomery County and the New River Valley region. For select installation projects, the team also serves Giles County and Dublin. The company has been serving the Appalachian region of Virginia since 2015.

  • What happens if my heating or AC breaks down in the middle of the night or during a holiday?

    Eric's Heating & Air is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year. Emergency AC repairs are targeted for a response time of under 3 hours. The team has a documented history of reaching customers during difficult conditions, including arriving in 4-wheel drive vehicles during unplowed winter snowstorms. If your system fails at the worst possible time, you can still get someone out to help without waiting until the next business day.

  • Does Eric's Heating & Air work on commercial properties as well as homes?

    The company serves both residential and commercial customers. Commercial clients include industrial facilities, hotels, offices, and retail environments. The same 24/7 availability and honest service approach applies to commercial work. Business owners and property managers who need reliable climate control without unexpected downtime are a regular part of the customer base across the New River Valley.

  • Which equipment brands does the team have experience servicing and installing?

    Eric's Heating & Air is an authorized Trane dealer, which is the primary equipment partnership. The team also has documented experience working on systems from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Carrier, LG, Samsung, and York. This range of brand experience means the company can service and install a wide variety of equipment types rather than being limited to a single manufacturer's product line.

  • What kind of warranty or guarantee comes with the work?

    Every job at Eric's Heating & Air is backed by a 100% satisfaction money-back guarantee. For specific emergency repair work, a 3-month warranty is included. Installation projects come with a best-price guarantee, meaning the company stands behind the pricing it offers for new equipment and installation. These commitments reflect the company's overall approach to building long-term trust with customers rather than treating each call as a one-time transaction.

  • Does Eric's HVAC handle indoor air quality, or is the focus strictly on heating and cooling?

    Indoor air quality is a confirmed service area. The team installs and services air filtration systems, air purifiers, and humidity control equipment. This is particularly relevant in the New River Valley, where high Appalachian humidity and seasonal conditions can affect the air inside your property. Improving filtration and humidity balance can make a noticeable difference for anyone dealing with respiratory sensitivities or general comfort issues related to air quality.
