I have never felt pressured to do any “fix” and I always feel they truly are invested in my best interest.
Monica Hood
We have been customers of Homesense for the last 3 years and have been consistently pleased with their service, communication, product line and support, and maintenance plans. The best part of Homesense are the people who work for the company. The technicians are approachable, knowledgeable, and very welcome in our home. I highly recommend Homesense for your heating and cooling needs.
Alyssa Dunker
“As new homeowners, we had our first experience needing to find an AC repair company in our area. After searching and reading reviews, we chose Homesense, and we were very happy with our choice! They sent someone out very quickly, and our tech called & texted to let us know when he was on his way. He diagnosed our problem and talked through all of our options in detail and gave us estimated costs of each. He was so helpful, honest, and friendly. We even got a follow-up call from a senior tech to make sure we were set and didn’t need anything further. Homesense will definitely be our go-to HVAC servicer going forward.”
Audi Ford
I was very satisfied with the work performed by the Homesense technicians. They were very courteous from the outset, and explained in detail the work they were going to be doing. They appeared to do very thorough work, and upon completion left our home clean and tidy, in the same condition as when they arrived.
Jonathan Prosser
Blown away by this company! They were helpful and friendly from our initial inquiry to our speedy install of new HVAC/Furnace. Brady made sure to go through all of our options with us and made sure we were getting the best system for our house without breaking the bank. Our install crew, headed by Andy, were thorough, very knowledgeable, and kind. I would recommend Homesense to anyone!!
Caroline Courter
“Homesense is my “go-to” HVAC company for our home. They are very friendly and professional—with every touch point—from calling the office to schedule service, to communication before arrival, and the technician, Darren, was outstanding! He was knowledgeable and very detailed in his assessment of both the AC and furnace. He showed me the data readings from the AC unit, stated what was necessary (without upselling), showed me the pricing, and let me make a no-pressure decision based on the circumstances. I highly recommend Homesense for all your HVAC needs and you’ll be supporting a local business! Win-win!”
Karen Byers
Everyone has been a joy to work with. From the scheduling to the actual service appt, we were treated kindly and helpful. Our technician was friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable! He explained everything very clearly and I would highly recommend.
Lauren Craycraft
As a first time homeowner with an unexpected HVAC issue right after close, we’re so happy we went with Homesense. I had a lot of questions and they were patient, understanding, and so clearly had our best interests in mind long term. The process was easy and we got so much good guidance and care. Would 100% use Homesense again. Special thanks to Darren, Chuck, and Brady for giving us peace of mind!
Victoria Ochs
“I cannot express the gratitude we have for Homesense. They were extremely responsive in getting to our home ASAP and the knowledge they have is second to none. Above all was the service they provided. I was in complete trust with them through the whole process of installing a new AC unit. They explained all options and I felt that they were not trying to selling me anything that was not essential. I would recommend choosing Homesense every time!”
Nick Pantella
This is an awesome team that I absolutely recommend! They don’t just offer cookie-cutter solutions, but actually care and offer what works best for your home and budget. Fantastic service from start to finish. Will definitely be a return customer!
Rachel H
We have used Homesense for a few years and there have been the best company we have used. Friendly, competitive, timely, excellent techs that are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Dave H
“I’ve used HomeSense at my last two houses. They are great to work with, their techs are experienced and just overall great people. I never feel like I’m being taken advantage of by recommending unneeded services and when a problem does arise they explain the problem, offer multiple options, and help me understand the pros / cons of not moving forward. I would recommend them to my family and friends in a heartbeat. Special shout out to Darren who’s always so friendly and a true professional. I look forward to his tech gadgets every time he stops by.”
David Kincaid
Loyal customer of Homesense for 5 years now – their service is excellent and honest, through and through!
Felissa King
We had a great experience working with HomeSense! From the evaluation and quoting to final install, HomeSense made the process as smooth as possible. We would recommend them to anyone.
Dan R
“Homesense is the best company I’ve ever dealt with. I first came in contact with them when the a/c unit went out in our house a few months after moving in. I called several places for an estimate- one company wanted $100 to secure an appointment, another said they’d come out in three weeks. Homesense came the next day at no charge. They recommended a new unit, but more importantly, they showed me what was was wrong with my old unit and gave me several options. I never felt like I was being sold- just informed.
Jordan Williams
Homesense came right away to check on my furnace issues. They were kind, respectful and polite. And the issue was fixed right away! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
Naomi D
Excellent last minute service provided by Homesense. Their technician even took the time to show me some things with my “nest” thermostat I was struggling to figure out. He spent over 15 minutes sharing some things with me . Highly recommend Homesense!
Mia M
“I’ve been a homeowner for 41 years and have never received a written report detailing the results of the annual maintenance visit. In the past I’ve often wonder if it was worth the cost. Did they really do anything or is this just their way of staying visible to the customer so that they will call them if they ever need repairs or a new system? Homesense gave me a written report detailing exactly what was done and how well my new system is performing – which they installed a year ago March at a great price. I can save this report and use it to track how well the system is performing over time – a great idea! Their annual maintenance contract is also priced right. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys to anybody.”
Joe Cavanaugh
Homesense is a great company with great people! We really appreciate how the technicians explain things and are very honest.
Kylie R
I have been using Homesense since 2015 when they installed my system. The techs are kind, clean and considerate. I trust this company to be fair and honest about my needs.
Denise S
“I’ve had a great experience with Home Sense as a new customer! Everyone is very friendly, professional, and has a positive attitude. Brandon did a wonderful job of checking my HVAC system today. The best part is their philosophy to fix rather than jumping to replace. While my system didn’t require any repairs it was nice not to be pressured with upselling techniques. Honesty is the best policy and you can tell their employees embrace that attitude!”
Karen Wagner
When the heat failed on the first snow of the year, HomeSense [B&W] came out the same day and got everything fixed. Their work has been consistently high quality across multiple visits. Great to have a reliable company you can count on in a pinch.
John M.
Excellent and timely repair and service on my HVAC system!
Mark Falahee
I had a great experience with Blake today. Communication and scheduling was excellent!
Michael Temple
Plumber Dave with B&W has been my go-to for years — always on time, knowledgeable, and quick to diagnose any issue. He fixes problems properly, and his pricing is fair and transparent. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Angie B
Checked & repaired my hot water heater. Mitchell was on time, analyzed the problem & fixed it in a timely fashion. Price was competitive
Larry Waggoner
Friendly, knowledgeable, and offers great solutions…Excellent experience and highly recommend!
Sue R.
Michael diagnosed a continuously running sump pump, clearly explained the issue, and completed the repairs efficiently. He was especially thoughtful — taking photos throughout and leaving the basement exactly as he found it. Very satisfied with the care and professionalism he brought to the job.
Christy Futch
Determined a solution and worked diligently to keep my basement from flooding…I will use them again and recommend to friends.
Cynthia N.
When our heater went bad, Homesense showed up on time and fixed the issue right away!
Sunil K.
HomeSense installed a new furnace and AC a year ago and did a great job — and Maxwell’s recent annual maintenance visit was equally impressive. He was professional, thorough, and took time to explain everything he was doing. It’s a relief to finally have a home service company I can fully trust.
Carolyn Rubenstein
Dontril & his associate were in and out quickly. They arrived less than one hour after I called for an appointment in heavy volume season…Problem solved!
Dennis McClure
I was able to get a same-day appointment. Service was prompt and swift. The technician, Mitchell, was pleasant and polite. Price was reasonable…very pleased!
David
Bruce from B&W came to the rescue when power went out during very cold weather, restoring it quickly and with a friendly attitude. The entire B&W staff was helpful and reassuring during a stressful situation. Grateful for a team that genuinely takes care of their customers.
Brittany Batman
Been using Homesense for a couple of years, and the service is amazing. I am on the yearly membership for HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical and they are very good at what they do.
Thomas Coffey
Service call to check heating system….Andy was very professional and friendly ….Good service
Tim
Blake arrived on time with the repair parts already in hand, diagnosed the issue quickly, and had the furnace running in under an hour. He was professional and personable throughout. The service manager was equally great — responsive and efficient in getting a tech out quickly.
Zarrell & Alex Gray – Tegart
Mitchell did a wonderful job…He went above and beyond to do a complete and professional job. He took care of a sewer smell that other plumbers were not able to resolve.
Allen McClendon
Emergency call-out on the coldest spell of the year. Prompt, professional, courteous, & friendly! No complaining, just great work!
Johnny Markin
B&W Electrical has impressed us across multiple visits, with Bruce Carpenter standing out every time. He’s polite, walks you through all options before starting, and consistently delivers great results. Highly recommend both Bruce and B&W for any electrical project.
Jarrod Downing
Fast, fair and efficiently solved the issue with our sink. We will definitely use them again.
David Seiter
Company with expertise and integrity
R George
Michael and Alec tackled two leaks and a completely blocked drain caused by a painter using the sink as a ladder — a tricky job in an 80-year-old home. Michael’s skill prevented what could have been a much worse situation, expertly cutting the pipe and accessing it through the cabinet and wall. Thorough, friendly, and reasonably priced — highly recommended.
“IndyGal”
Andy is the best man. Fast efficient and knowledgeable.
Carter Mutchmore
Blake was amazing and helped me get my heat back on!
Michelle Goldner
We had a great experience working with Bruce at B&W/HomeSense. Extremely nice, professional, and polite…handles issues quickly and efficiently. The entire process was smooth, and we felt well taken care of from start to finish.
Damein Edmonds
Homesense did a very good job in fixing the HVAC system, and I am completely satisfied with the job done by the technician.
Sunil Kayam
Blake Rogers got our heat back up and running in no time
Noah Schroeder
If you want electrical work done right and with good energy (pun fully intended), HomeSense is the call. Last week, Bruce handled our chandelier installation, and it was a masterclass in professionalism—steady hands, sharp eye, zero drama. The chandelier is flawless, and so was the experience.
This is consistent with every interaction we’ve had with B&W. Their team shows up on time (actual on time, not “electrician time”), treats both our home and office with genuine respect, and somehow manages to be efficient and kind—a rare and wonderful combo. Communication is prompt, expectations are clear, and the results speak for themselves.
In a world where reliable service feels like a luxury, B&W delivers it as standard practice. Stellar work, lovely people, and a company you’re genuinely happy to recommend. If Nathan Davis is running the ship, it’s no wonder everything runs so smoothly!
Jeffrey Cohen
Blake did an awesome job fixing our furnace and saving us from a cold weekend!
Jeremy Snyder
Great service. Every year, we have Darren come out and do our annual A/C service. He is very professional, friendly, and explains what he is doing and why…always takes time to answer any questions we may have.
Phil – Electric Rooster
Dontril is the man! Been with B&W Plumbing for 25+ yrs and Dontril has been taking care of us for 20 of those years. Professional, knowledgable, detailed and great explanations. My first and only call! He is reliable, knowledgeable and I trust his advice!
B&J Stanton
We have used Homesense for over 10 years…We have always had a great experience. Dave is very professional, knowledgeable, and reliable
Dane Morgan
It’s important to do our annual check-up…Blake Rogers from HomeSense did a fantastic job!
Bryan Ferry
Have used B&W (formerly HomeSense) for HVAC service for years and have always been very satisfied, and recently had to have a weekend service for a heater that quit. Max was efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, and communicated very well. We were very fortunate to have had a service technician who knew how to fix the problem and handle getting parts on the weekend.
Vanessa Miller
Same-day service, easy to book an appointment online, and a friendly technician who immediately identified the problem. Reasonable price…Would definitely hire Homesense again.
Sara Galer
Max was very thorough and professional. He did a great job explaining all the options and was easy to work with…would highly recommend!
Randall Short
Today we had a service visit from HomeSense and I can’t say enough great things about them – communication was wonderful and the technician was one of the best that I’ve ever had with any home service – respectful, helpful, willing to answer my questions, and more… Highly recommend. Thanks HomeSense.
Todd Dorsey
As usual, the guys were great! kept us informed, offered options, and answered all of our questions.
David Kaflik
Team is knowledgeable and comprehensive. Resolved my sump pump issue with a smooth process and no pushy marketing. Thank you.

When Should I Replace My Furnace Instead of Repairing It?
Age and repair frequency are the two biggest signals to watch. A furnace that’s 15 to 20 years old and requiring increasingly frequent repairs is usually a better candidate for furnace replacement than another round of fixes. A useful rule of thumb: if the repair cost runs 50% or more of what a new system would cost, replacement is often the smarter long-term investment.
Beyond age and cost, pay attention to how your home feels. Uneven heating from room to room, rising energy bills despite consistent usage, and strange noises or smells are all signs that a system is declining. The furnace is telling you something has shifted. A free in-home assessment gives you a clear picture of where your system stands and what actually makes sense for your budget and situation, without pressure either way.
How Much Does Furnace Replacement Cost in Indianapolis?
Furnace replacement in Indianapolis typically ranges from around $2,800 to $6,500 or more, depending on the type of system, efficiency rating, and the size required for your home. Gas furnaces are the most common choice for Central Indiana homes and generally fall in the lower-to-mid range of that estimate; heat pumps span a wider price range given their dual heating and cooling function.
Several factors shape the total: BTU output needed, AFUE efficiency rating, labor, any necessary ductwork updates, and permit fees (Indianapolis requires an HVAC permit for heating system work). The only way to get a number you can actually plan around is a proper in-home assessment that includes heating load calculations. We provide that as a free estimate — no strings, no pressure to decide on the spot.
What Size Furnace Does My Indianapolis Home Need?
Furnace size is measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units), and the right output depends on far more than square footage alone. Insulation quality, ceiling height, window count, and the layout of your home all factor into the equation. Matching a new system to the old one’s nameplate is one of the most common sizing shortcuts — and one of the most common reasons homeowners end up uncomfortable or overpaying on utilities.
A furnace that’s too small won’t keep your home comfortable through an Indianapolis winter. One that’s oversized cycles on and off too frequently, which wastes energy and wears out components faster than it should. The correct approach is a heating load calculation performed by a licensed HVAC technician. We do this as a standard part of every estimate because it’s the only honest way to recommend a system that will actually perform.
What’s the Difference Between an 80% and a 96% Efficiency Furnace?
AFUE — Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency — is the standard measure of how well a furnace converts fuel into heat. An 80% AFUE furnace turns 80 cents of every fuel dollar into usable heat; a 96% unit turns 96 cents. The federal minimum for new gas furnaces is 80%, and any model rated 90% or above is considered a high-efficiency furnace.
Higher-efficiency models cost more upfront but deliver meaningfully lower monthly gas bills, which matters in a Central Indiana winter. For homeowners planning to stay in their home for several years, that upfront investment pays for itself over time. We’re a Daikin Comfort Pro dealer, which means we carry a full range of equipment — from solid 80% systems to top-tier high-efficiency models — and we’ll walk through the tradeoffs with you so the decision makes sense for your home and your budget.
Does a New High-Efficiency Furnace Improve Indoor Air Quality?
It can make a real difference, especially if the system being replaced is aging or compromised. Newer high-efficiency furnaces are built with tighter combustion controls, which reduces the risk of incomplete burning that can introduce contaminants into the air supply. An older furnace running with a cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk — replacing it removes that concern entirely.
Beyond combustion safety, modern systems are compatible with a range of whole-home air quality add-ons: whole-house humidifiers, air purifiers, and upgraded filtration that address Central Indiana’s dry winter air and common allergens. For households with allergy concerns, young children, or anyone who’s been dealing with persistent respiratory symptoms, a furnace replacement is a natural moment to look at the full air quality picture. We can walk through those options as part of the same conversation.
How Long Does Furnace Installation Take in Indianapolis?
A standard furnace installation in Indianapolis typically takes four to eight hours for a licensed HVAC technician, depending on the accessibility of the installation location and whether any ductwork adjustments are needed. Most homeowners have full heat restored the same day the old system comes out.
Before any work begins, your technician will walk through the process, confirm the selected equipment, and answer any remaining questions. After installation, we do a full walkthrough of the new system and its controls so you know exactly how everything works before the crew leaves. No one should be left guessing about how their new furnace operates.
Are There Financing Options for Furnace Replacement in Indianapolis?
Yes — financing is available for qualified homeowners, which makes it possible to move forward with a properly sized, higher-efficiency system rather than defaulting to the cheapest option due to budget pressure. Spreading the cost over manageable monthly payments also means you begin benefiting from lower energy bills right away, often offsetting a meaningful portion of the monthly payment.
We walk through financing options clearly and without pressure as part of the estimate conversation. Getting the right system for your home is more important to long-term comfort and cost than shaving dollars off the upfront price. If financing is something you’d like to explore, just mention it when you schedule your free estimate.
What Should I Look for in an Indianapolis HVAC Contractor?
Start with licensing and insurance — those are the baseline. From there, look for NATE-certified technicians: NATE (North American Technician Excellence) is the industry’s primary certification for HVAC professionals and indicates a real commitment to ongoing training and competency.
Beyond credentials, pay attention to how a contractor handles the estimate itself. Transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees and no pressure to decide on the spot are signs of a contractor worth trusting. Anyone quoting a replacement without setting foot in your home is skipping a critical step — a proper heating load calculation is non-negotiable for a system that will actually perform. Reputation matters in Indianapolis, where word-of-mouth still drives most trusted referrals. Reviews from neighbors and your own community are as telling as any certification.
