Zeke Heating and Cooling is an HVAC company built around answering the call when a heating system fails at the worst possible moment. Reviewers keep landing on the same story: something breaks in the cold, and Jake shows up fast. One homeowner, writing in a January 2026 review, described smelling burning from the forced-hot-air vents on one of the coldest nights of the year, worried enough about safety to start preparing to take the family to a hotel. In a separate January 2026 review, another customer said Jake ran an emergency, no-heat call and had someone out within hours, calling him communicative and easy to recommend. A year earlier, in a January 2025 review, a customer whose furnace failed during a cold spell said Jake and Joe Zechner replaced it the same day, praising their speed and efficiency. Across those three Google reviews it holds a 5-star average. A strong call for a heating emergency — worth confirming current response times and pricing for a same-day furnace replacement before you need one.
On the eve of the coldest night in recent history, I began smelling electrical burning coming from all of my forced hot air vents. Given the extreme weather and the fact that it was a Friday night, I started preparing to take my family to a hotel while worrying about the safety of our home and the potential for frozen pipes and additional damage. I began calling for emergency HVAC services, but most companies either didn’t answer or weren’t available. Even though Zeke Heating and Cooling was farther away than some local companies, I decided to call after striking out elsewhere. I immediately received a call back from Jake, which was a huge relief. Within an hour, Jake was on site diagnosing the issue. He identified the problem and, despite it being late on a Friday evening, tried to locate replacement parts. When nothing was available, he came up with a temporary solution to safely get my family through the night with heat. He promised to return the next morning with the necessary parts—and he absolutely delivered on that promise. Jake was back first thing the next day, and within an hour the issue was fully resolved. We haven’t had any problems since. I can’t recommend Zeke Heating and Cooling and Jake enough for their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. When it mattered most, they showed up.
Jake was fantastic did an emergency call for me and came right out hours after for No heat call. Very communicative and would highly recommend using him.
I recently had a fantastic experience with Zeke Heating and Cooling. My furnace broke down during a cold spell, and Jake and Joe Zechner came to my rescue the same day! They did a top-notch job replacing my furnace, and I was really impressed by their speed and efficiency. The price was also very fair for the quality of work. I highly recommend Zeke Heating and Cooling for anyone in need of HVAC services. Thank you, Jake and Joe, for your excellent service!
