The company is intentionally small — Shane runs calls himself or sends a technician he personally trained. The team is factory-trained on the On Time Signature Series and qualified to service any major brand a homeowner already has installed. Every quote includes the line-item math, every recommendation is paired with the option to repair instead of replace, and every job ends with follow-up from the owner. The company is fully insured and Wisconsin-licensed (WI License #1482483 — On Time Heating & Cooling, LLC). The team page (https://otheating.com/team) profiles Shane — Owner & Lead Tech, EPA Universal certified, in the HVAC trade since age 14, mentored by his father Tom Herro — and links to careers for technicians who want owner mentorship. --- ## Maintenance Plans — The On The Dot Club URL: https://otheating.com/maintenance-plans The On The Dot Club is a maintenance membership designed for Wisconsin homeowners who want to stop dreading furnace and AC failures. $25/month plus a $25 activation fee, 6-month minimum. Members receive: seasonal tune-ups (spring AC, fall furnace) covering a multi-point inspection; priority dispatch — members go to the front of the line on snow days and heat waves; a $0 service fee at any hour with no overtime charges; 20% off repairs and duct cleaning; a repair guarantee for active members; a $1,000 credit toward a future full-system installation ($500 for furnace-or-AC-only); an annual duct camera inspection; price protection; and owner-direct contact for membership questions. Visitors can run the ROI Calculator on the page to see the break-even point for their household. --- ## Financing — 0% via Wisetack URL: https://otheating.com/financing On Time partners with Wisetack to offer 0% intro APR financing for qualified buyers on new heating and cooling installations, with terms up to 60 months and no hidden fees. Soft-pull pre-qualification takes about 60 seconds, does not affect the homeowner's credit score, and surfaces real numbers (monthly payment, total cost, APR after the intro period) before any commitment. Approved buyers can apply payment immediately at the time of install — no waiting room, no bank visit. Wisetack discloses all rates and terms; the page links straight to the Wisetack pre-qualification form at https://wisetack.us/#/tom4vcs/prequalify. --- ## Service Areas URL: https://otheating.com/service-areas Primary service area is Waukesha County, Wisconsin. Cities and townships regularly served include: Waukesha, Brookfield, Pewaukee, Delafield, New Berlin, Oconomowoc, Menomonee Falls, Hartland, Sussex, Wales, Dousman, Nashotah, Chenequa, Genesee, North Prairie, Merton, Lisbon, Muskego, Elm Grove, Big Bend, Mukwonago, Vernon. Surrounding-county coverage includes parts of Milwaukee County (Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Greenfield, Wauwatosa, West Allis, Oak Creek, Bayside, Fox Point, Whitefish Bay, Shorewood, Glendale), Ozaukee County (Thiensville, Grafton, Mequon, Cedarburg), Washington County (Germantown, Richfield, Hubertus, Slinger, Jackson, Colgate), Jefferson County (Sullivan, Ixonia), and parts of Racine and Walworth counties (Wind Lake, Waterford, Burlington, East Troy, Eagle). Each city has a dedicated landing page on the site listing local sub-services (e.g. Air Conditioning → AC Repair → Waukesha) so homeowners can verify coverage before booking. Eight first-party-verified neighborhood guides go a level deeper: McCall Street Historic District and Downtown Waukesha (Waukesha), Parc du Chateau (Brookfield), Pewaukee Lake Shore and the Village of Pewaukee (Pewaukee), New Berlin Hills (New Berlin), Mission Hills (Franklin), and Lac La Belle (Oconomowoc). --- ## Contact URL: https://otheating.com/contact The contact page exposes the ways to reach the company: 1. **24/7 phone line / SMS**: (262) 671-8999 — owner or dispatch answers around the clock. 2. **Native lead form** (WebMCP-callable as `submit_contact_request`): name, email, phone, service type, and message. Submits directly to the company's CRM, ZERO third-party scripts. 3. **HouseCallPro online booking**: pick a service category, time window, and address; the call lands directly on the dispatch calendar. Used by homeowners who prefer not to call. 4. **Email**: otheating@gmail.com — answered the same business day. The chat bubble (HouseCallPro chat) sits in the corner and loads only after first user interaction or 7 seconds idle, so it never blocks page rendering. The 24/7 phone line is the fastest way to get a real human. --- ## Free Second Opinion (signature tool — Waukesha-area HVAC has nothing like this) URL: https://otheating.com/free-second-opinion A free, no-obligation review of any other HVAC contractor's repair or replacement quote. Homeowners upload a PDF, screenshot, or photo of the quote (or type the line items into the form). Shane or one of the owner-trained techs reviews it line by line and responds with: (1) which line items are reasonable for the Waukesha-area market and which look inflated, (2) whether the diagnosis matches the symptoms described, (3) whether repair would buy enough additional life to be worth it, and (4) what the same scope of work would cost from On Time. The page is intentionally pitch-free — many homeowners use it, learn their original contractor is fair, and never become On Time customers, and that's by design. The form is WebMCP-callable as `request_free_second_opinion` (destructive — submitting creates a real lead in the company CRM, so AI agents must confirm with the user before submitting). --- ## Instant Pricing (signature tool) URL: https://otheating.com/#instant-pricing (homepage section) Published ballpark price ranges for the Waukesha County / SE Wisconsin market (2026) — deliberately wide, with "+" marking open-ended tops. Point prices appear only where the client confirmed them (e.g. the $169 tune-up). WebMCP-callable as `get_price_ranges` (read-only). Current published ranges: - Air Conditioning — AC repair: $150–$2,200+ (Diagnostic, parts, and labor — capacitors and contactors low end, compressors high end. Note: Refrigerant leaks and compressor jobs push past the top of this range.) - Air Conditioning — 3-Ton Central AC (16 SEER2, install): $8,400–$12,400 (System tonnage, SEER2 tier, ductwork, electrical work, permits, and brand tier affect the quote. Note: Projected 2027 price: $11,700.) - Air Conditioning — AC tune-up: $169 (Full inspection, coil check, refrigerant-level and performance test before cooling season.) - Air Conditioning — Ductless mini-split (single zone): $3,500–$9,500+ (Outdoor unit + one wall-mount head installed with permit — basic short-run systems low end, premium cold-climate units with long line runs high end. Rebates may apply. Note: Long concealed line-hide runs, panel/electrical work, and multi-zone systems price above this range.) - Heating — Furnace repair: $100–$2,000+ (Diagnostic plus fix — ignitors and sensors low end, inducer motors and gas valves high end.) - Heating — 80k BTU 96% AFUE Gas Furnace: $6,200–$10,600 (BTU size, AFUE, staging, gas or venting work, thermostat zoning, and access affect the quote. Note: Projected 2027 price: $9,300.) - Heating — Furnace + AC combo: $5,400–$16,000+ (Full split-system replacement — matched furnace and AC in one install, one crew, one permit.) - Heating — 3-Ton Cold-Climate Heat Pump (variable speed): $11,500–$17,500 (Climate rating, backup heat, electrical capacity, zoning, rebates, and air-handler placement affect the quote. Note: Projected 2027 price: $15,400.) - Heating — 3-Ton Heat Pump + 96% AFUE Gas Furnace Backup: $16,800–$25,700 (Tonnage, furnace efficiency, controls, electrical and gas requirements, and rebate stacking affect the quote. Note: Projected 2027 price: $22,400.) - Duct Cleaning — Whole-home duct cleaning: $300–$1,500+ (All supply and return ducts on one system — larger or multi-system homes trend to the top. Note: Be wary of sub-$300 specials — around here those are usually partial-clean teasers.) Pinned disclaimer: Installed price ranges for planning only — not a quote. System size, efficiency, ductwork, electrical or gas modifications, permits, installation conditions, and available rebates can change the final written price. --- ## Heat Pump for Wisconsin Calculator (signature tool) URL: https://otheating.com/heat-pump-calculator A break-even calculator built specifically for southeastern Wisconsin (Climate Zone 6A) homeowners considering a cold-climate heat pump vs. sticking with a furnace. Inputs include current fuel (natural gas, propane, oil, electric resistance), current fuel rate, home square footage, and home age. Outputs include estimated annual heating cost on the current system, estimated annual heating cost on a cold-climate heat pump in a Wisconsin design-temperature scenario, payback period in years, and a plain-English verdict — "good fit", "marginal — wait for incentives", or "stick with furnace". The math is conservative and assumes a real Wisconsin winter, not a Florida-style climate. Always pinned: this is an estimate, not a binding quote — Manual J load calculation is required before an actual install. WebMCP-callable as `heat_pump_decision_aid_wisconsin` (read-only). --- ## HVAC Sizing Estimator (signature tool) URL: https://otheating.com/hvac-sizing-estimator An educational BTU/h heating-load and AC-tonnage range estimator. Inputs: home square footage, year built, ceiling height, climate zone (Wisconsin defaults to 6A), insulation rating, number of stories, basement status. Outputs: an expected furnace size (BTU/h input) and AC size (tons) range, plus a clear note that the published value is a starting estimate only — Manual J room-by-room load calculation is the required next step before any system is specified. The tool is designed to protect Wisconsin homeowners from being oversold an oversized 5-ton AC on a 2,000-square-foot ranch. WebMCP-callable as `estimate_hvac_size` (read-only). --- ## Permit Pilot (signature tool, inside the Learning Center) URL: https://otheating.com/learning-center A 3-question Wisconsin SPS 343 mechanical-permit verdict tool. Typical questions: Is the work a like-for-like furnace, AC, boiler, water heater, ductless, or heat-pump replacement? Is any gas line, electrical circuit, refrigerant line, or venting being altered? Is the work in a 1-2 family residence in Wisconsin? Output: a clear "permit required / permit not required / municipality varies — call the building inspector" verdict, with the relevant SPS 343 citation, the typical Waukesha-area mechanical permit fee range, and a reminder that a licensed contractor pulls the permit, not the homeowner. WebMCP-callable as `check_hvac_permit_requirement` (read-only). --- ## On The Dot Club ROI Calculator (signature tool) URL: https://otheating.com/maintenance-plans (embedded section) A simple ROI calculator that takes (a) the homeowner's expected number of repair calls per year and (b) the expected average repair-part cost, applies the member discount and the after-hours-fee delta, adds the seasonal tune-ups at retail price, and outputs the membership's break-even month. Designed to prove the plan pays for itself, not to upsell. WebMCP-callable as `estimate_on_the_dot_club_roi` (read-only). --- ## Service categories ### Air Conditioning URL: https://otheating.com/air-conditioning — central AC repair, installation, replacement, maintenance, tune-up, inspection, emergency service.
