Mitsubishi Electric Heating and Air Conditioning — Diamond Contractor Elite dealer Carrier — authorized dealer

Mitsubishi Electric and Carrier are our two install lines — we're a Diamond Contractor Elite dealer and an authorized Carrier dealer. We also install and service American Standard, Goodman, Amana, Rheem, Ruud, York, Bosch, Fujitsu, Tempstar, Comfortmaker and Coleman, and we service Bryant and Trane. Got something else? We service a wider list than we sell, so it's still worth a call.

Common problems we fix

System acting up? Tell us what it's doing.

Describe what you're hearing, smelling or not feeling. We'll tell you what it usually means and what it usually costs.

No cool on the hottest day

Failed capacitors, low refrigerant, a frozen coil or a compressor on its way out. These are the calls we drop everything for.

No heat, and it's 12 degrees

Igniters, flame sensors, gas valves, control boards. Furnace or boiler, we'll get heat back in the house before the night gets worse.

The boiler is leaking or short-cycling

Boiler work is what we do all winter. We'll tell you straight whether it's worth repairing or whether a swap-out is the honest answer.

One room is always wrong

The freezing back bedroom, the finished attic nobody can use in July. Zoning or a single ductless head usually fixes it for good.

Bills climbing for no reason

Usually a dirty coil, low refrigerant, leaking duct or a motor drawing more than it should. We find which one instead of guessing.

No hot water

Tank or tankless. We'll repair it if it's worth repairing and replace it if it isn't — and say which, plainly.

What you actually get

Small enough to know your name. Certified enough to matter.

Being local is only worth something if the work behind it holds up. Here's what backs ours.

Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor Elite

The top tier Mitsubishi awards. Our installers fit these systems every week, not once a season — and that's what earns the 12-year parts and compressor warranty.

Authorized Carrier dealer

Factory-backed Carrier equipment with 10 years on parts and 2 years on labor. And because we're a dealer, the warranty paperwork is ours to handle, not yours.

We build the duct ourselves

Custom fabrication in our own Kingston shop, so it fits the house instead of the house working around it. Most companies around here order it in.

Financing that doesn't punish you

0% for 36 months on new installs, year round, through Wells Fargo or Synchrony. Right now Wells Fargo is running 0% for five years until November.

What the Valley says

Read the reviews before you call. We’d want you to.

Straight from Google, Yelp and Facebook — live, in the customers’ own words, with nothing picked or retyped by us.

What happens when you call

Three steps. No pressure at any of them.

You don't need to know what's wrong. You just need to describe what it's doing.

  1. Brittani picks up.

    Or Stephen, if she's on the other line — around the clock. Tell us what the system's doing, we'll tell you what it usually means, and book a window that works for you.

    Answered 24/7
  2. A tech you'll know by name arrives.

    $99 diagnostic. They find the fault, show it to you, and quote the repair at one flat price — before touching anything. Most repairs are finished that same visit.

    Flat price, quoted first
  3. You say yes. Or you don't.

    If it's worth fixing, we fix it. If it isn't, Cody comes out himself to walk you through the options — the owner, not a salesperson — with financing that doesn't punish you.

    Your call, every time
Repair or replace?

The honest answer depends on three things. None of them is our sales target.

Every company says they won't push a new system on you. Here's how we actually decide — so you can check our working.

01 — Age

How old is it, really?

A 1990s Coleman and a six-year-old Carrier are different conversations. Past 12–15 years, out of warranty, repairs start competing with replacement. Before that, we fix it.

02 — The math

What the fix costs against what a new one costs.

If this repair is a big slice of a new system's price and the next fault is already visible, replacing usually wins. We'll show you both numbers side by side, not just the bigger one.

03 — The house

What the building actually needs.

No ductwork? A ductless system beats retrofitting duct through plaster walls. A boiler house stays a boiler house — high-efficiency Laars or cast-iron New Yorker and Peerless, whichever suits it.

“We never replace a part unless it's necessary, or unless it saves you significant money.”
K.O. HVAC's standing pricing promise — the same one on every invoice.

Want the straight answer on yours? Call (570) 715-4187 — the $99 diagnostic is the whole cost of finding out.

No games

What it costs, before we start.

We'd rather have an honest conversation about a system that will last than win a job on the lowest number.

$99

Diagnostic fee

A tech comes out, finds the fault and explains it. Flat-rate repair pricing is quoted on top, and you approve it before any work starts. The $99 pays for the diagnosis and isn't credited against the repair.

0%

For 36 months

On new installs, year round, through Wells Fargo or Synchrony. Right now Wells Fargo is running 0% for five years until November. Smaller jobs qualify for 0% for 12 months.

10%

Military discount

We're veteran owned, so this one matters to us. Maintenance-plan members get a discount on work too.

12 yr

Parts & compressor

On Mitsubishi systems, with 2–5 years labor. Carrier installs carry 10 years parts and 2 years labor.

About K.O. HVAC

K is for Klebetz. O is for Orr. They've been friends since they were kids.

Stephen and Cody started K.O. HVAC in November 2021 — and it says something that the name is just the two of them.

Stephen KlebetzFortis Institute HVAC graduate with universal EPA certification. System design and commercial installation. Backs up the phones.
Cody OrrAir Force veteran with a project-management background. Runs every estimate and still works installs.
  • Neighbors helping neighbors. Long-term relationships over quick sales — it's why the same names keep coming up in the reviews.
  • Seven people, five trucks, one shop on Page Avenue. Small enough that you'll know who's coming.
  • Independent. Several bigger names around here have been bought by private equity. We haven't, and we're not for sale.
Straight answers

Before you call.

Are you open right now?

Our office hours are 8–5, Monday to Friday, and a real person answers our phone around the clock — you're never leaving a voicemail into the void.

Same-day emergency service is available at a special rate. Standard after-hours service is reserved for customers whose system we installed and for maintenance-plan members.

What does it cost to have someone come out?

$99 for the diagnostic. The tech finds the problem and explains it, then quotes the repair at a flat rate before doing any work. The $99 covers the diagnosis and isn't credited toward the repair — we'd rather tell you that up front than surprise you on the invoice.

Which brands do you install?

Our two primary lines are Mitsubishi Electric (we're a Diamond Contractor Elite dealer) and Carrier (authorized dealer). We also install and service American Standard, Goodman, Amana, Rheem, Ruud, York, Bosch, Fujitsu, Tempstar, Comfortmaker and Coleman.

For boilers we work with Laars for high-efficiency and New Yorker and Peerless for cast iron. We service Bryant and Trane too — so if you've got something we don't sell, it's still worth a call.

Do you offer financing?

Yes — through Wells Fargo and Synchrony. New installs qualify for 0% for 36 months year round, and Wells Fargo is currently running 0% for five years until November. Smaller jobs can go 0% for 12 months. Ask Cody when he quotes the job and he'll walk you through the options.

Why a ductless mini split instead of central air?

Plenty of homes around here were never built with ductwork — and tearing a 1920s Kingston twin apart to add it is expensive and messy. A ductless system heats and cools, zone by zone, without any of that.

It's also the line we fit most often. Being Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor Elite means our installers do these every week, and it's what backs the 12-year parts and compressor warranty.

My boiler is on its last legs. Can you replace it?

Boiler swap-outs are the main job we run all winter. We'll look at what you've got, tell you honestly whether it's worth repairing, and if it isn't, quote a high-efficiency Laars or a cast-iron New Yorker or Peerless — whichever actually suits the house.

Do you service equipment you didn't install?

Yes. We service a wider list than we sell — including Bryant, Trane and the 1990s Coleman units still running in a lot of Valley basements. Same $99 diagnostic, same flat-rate pricing.

Do you do commercial work?

Light commercial, yes — repair, maintenance contracts and rooftop units for shops, offices and smaller buildings. We deliberately keep the commercial radius tighter than the residential one so we can respond quickly. Call and we'll tell you straight whether it's a fit.

Are you licensed?

Yes. K.O. HVAC holds Pennsylvania HVAC and Home Improvement Contractor license #PA169105, our technicians are EPA 608 certified for refrigerant handling, and we're a member of the Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce. Veteran owned, family owned, and based at 120 Page Avenue in Kingston.
