Hadley Energy Solutions provides air conditioning installation, replacement, repair, and seasonal AC tune-ups for homes and businesses throughout Louisville, KY. Louisville summers regularly hit 90°F+ with high humidity — a reliable air conditioning system isn't optional. Whether your cooling system has stopped working, is running constantly without keeping up, or you need a complete AC replacement, our licensed heating and cooling technicians diagnose the problem accurately and fix it right the first time.
Homeowners whose air conditioning isn't cooling effectively or has stopped working, businesses with uncomfortable work environments, property managers handling tenant comfort complaints, anyone with an AC system over 15 years old that's losing efficiency, and facilities needing emergency cooling restoration during summer heat. We also recommend annual AC tune-ups before summer to prevent breakdowns during Louisville's hottest months.
AC and cooling costs depend on whether you need a tune-up, repair, or replacement:
We diagnose accurately and give honest recommendations. If a $200 capacitor will fix your system, we'll tell you — we don't push $8,000 replacements when they're not needed. And when you do need a new system, we size it correctly with Manual J calculations so you get the right equipment, not just the most expensive option.
When an air conditioner quits on a 95-degree Saturday in August, we answer. Hadley Energy Solutions runs same-day and 24/7 emergency AC repair across Louisville and the surrounding cities — Shepherdsville, Mt. Washington, Jeffersontown, St. Matthews, La Grange, Elizabethtown, New Albany and Jeffersonville. Trucks are stocked with the parts that cause the vast majority of Louisville no-cool calls — capacitors, contactors, blower motors, condensate pumps, thermostats and refrigerant — so most repairs are finished on the first visit. You get a clear diagnosis in plain language and a flat written price before any work starts. If it is a $185 capacitor, we say so; we do not pressure homeowners into a $9,000 system replacement they do not need.
An air conditioning contractor installs, repairs and maintains the cooling system in your home or business: central AC installation and replacement, emergency repair, ductless mini-splits, smart thermostat setup and twice-a-year tune-ups. We service every major brand — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Daikin, York and Mitsubishi — and as an independent contractor we recommend the right system for your building rather than the brand we are paid to push. We are also a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer for premium-tier installations. Every replacement quote starts with a Manual J load calculation, because the old one-ton-per-500-square-feet rule produces oversized systems that short-cycle, dehumidify badly and fail early.
Typical Louisville ranges: a spring tune-up is $89–$149; a diagnostic service call is $95–$145 and is waived if you approve the repair the same day; capacitor or contactor replacement is $185–$385; refrigerant leak repair with recharge is $385–$850; blower motor replacement is $485–$950; smart thermostat installation is $285–$485; a new 3-ton 16 SEER central AC is $5,500–$8,500 installed, with 18–20 SEER equipment at $7,500–$11,500 and a complete AC plus furnace replacement at $9,500–$15,500. Single-zone ductless mini-splits run $4,500–$7,500 and whole-home ductless $9,500–$18,000. On repair versus replacement, the rule of thumb is that a system older than 12–15 years, still on R-22, with a compressor failure, or a repair quote above half of replacement cost is usually better replaced. We hand you both numbers and let you decide.
We thoroughly diagnose the issue — checking refrigerant levels, electrical connections, airflow, and component condition. No guessing, no unnecessary parts.
We tell you whether repair or replacement makes financial sense based on the system's age, repair cost, and efficiency. We don't push replacements when a $200 repair will solve the problem.
Whether it's an AC tune-up, repair, or new air conditioning installation, our licensed technicians complete the work to manufacturer specifications with quality parts.
We verify the cooling system is running properly, check temperature differential across the coil, and confirm proper airflow at every register before we leave.

A new 3-ton central system at 16 SEER typically runs $5,500–$8,500 installed. Higher-efficiency 18–20 SEER units run $7,500–$11,500, and a complete AC plus furnace replacement is $9,500–$15,500. We provide free written estimates with multiple equipment options.
Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Daikin, York, Mitsubishi and more. As an independent air conditioning contractor we recommend the right equipment for your home and budget, and we are a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer for premium-tier installations.
Once a year, with a spring tune-up before cooling season. Regular maintenance extends equipment life by 5–10 years, improves efficiency by up to 25% and prevents roughly 95% of mid-summer breakdowns. Most manufacturers also require it to keep the warranty valid.
Typically $89–$149, including refrigerant pressure check, coil cleaning, electrical and capacitor testing, thermostat calibration, condensate-line clearing and a full system inspection. Maintenance plan members get tune-ups included plus 10–15% off repairs.
For homes without ductwork, additions, garages, sunrooms and rooms central AC cannot cool well, yes. They reach 20–30 SEER, run quietly and give zone-by-zone control. Single-zone installs run $4,500–$7,500; whole-home ductless is $9,500–$18,000.
Yes. We hold Kentucky HVAC Master License HM06538 plus Electrical Contractor License CE64623 and Master Electrician License ME64500, and we are fully licensed, bonded and insured for residential, commercial and industrial air conditioning work in Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
General rule: if the repair costs more than 50% of a new system and your unit is over 10 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Units over 15 years old should generally be replaced regardless of repair cost due to efficiency improvements in modern systems.
Most residential AC installations are completed in 1 day. If ductwork modifications are needed, it may take 2 days. We schedule installations promptly, especially during summer when you need it most.
The current minimum is 15 SEER. We recommend 16-18 SEER for the best balance of efficiency and cost. Higher SEER ratings (20+) offer the lowest operating costs but have a longer payback period. We'll calculate the savings for your specific situation.
Yes. We provide same-day emergency AC repair service. Call (502) 921-3777 and we'll dispatch a technician as quickly as possible, especially during dangerous heat events.
