Scott Niehaus Air Conditioning and Heating Inc.

Scott Niehaus Air Conditioning and Heating Inc. has served Gainesville and North Central Florida for over 23 years as a licensed and insured A/C and heating contractor. The company is locally owned and family operated, holding a 4.9-star rating across 42 reviews. Homeowners in Alachua County and surrounding communities rely on Scott Niehaus for both residential and rural property projects, from routine tune-ups to full system replacements.

What separates Scott Niehaus from larger HVAC firms is the consistency of who shows up at your door. Every service call is handled by either Scott or Lance, meaning you speak with the same experienced technician who already knows your system. The company publishes a SEER calculator on its website, helping homeowners evaluate energy efficiency before purchasing new equipment. Current promotions cover air conditioning, ductless systems, heat pumps, furnaces, and indoor air quality upgrades, giving customers financial clarity before work begins.

Lew Barr called Scott Niehaus after two separate technicians from national companies failed to diagnose a noisy heat pump that kept him awake at night, both recommending a full replacement. Lance arrived the next day, isolated the problem, and repaired it in under an hour at a reasonable charge. When Lew later built a workshop, he had Lance install a ductless mini-split; the building inspector commented on the quality of the installation. Rose Bolin's experience with a home warranty company turned disastrous until Scott interceded directly with the insurer, then recommended the smaller of two units after explaining the tradeoffs. Addison Barron, burned by a previous contractor pushing unnecessary sales, returned to Scott Niehaus twice because the team simply fixes problems without upselling.
