You get what you pay for. I paid for good equipment and Bates put it in for me. Absolutely the best, most professional installers and office staff I have ever seen. They ran new ductwork where mine was inadequate or decayed and put in a filter that lasts almost a year between changes. My heating and cooling costs are down almost 50% and seeing as I'm on LP, every penny counts. You want cheap, I know I guy who knows a guy who can slap you in a furnace for a couple six packs and lunch; you want a top of the line heating system, and you want to pay for it, you call Bates and you won't regret it.

Had a different company come out in the spring, put too small of compacter in. Called them back today and they said they would make time to come out later today but might not be able to fix it. Called this company and said they would be out within a couple hours, arrived promptly which wasn’t expected on weekend call. Took about 20 minutes for him to fix the problem and charged about half the price as the other company for an off hours call! Would highly recommend this company. 👍🏻

Bates installed a new furnace for us this fall. They went above and beyond to do the job right. Knowing we sometimes have water problems in the basement, they put the unit up on blocks, which is exactly what we wanted. Thanks, Matt for coming out to do the quote and following up on the project, and thanks Tom and Larry for working hard to get the old furnace out and the new one in and running! Great company and people! - Daniel & Heidi

Brian M.

These guys are the best!! Came out the same day to replace a faulty thermostat and did a fantastic job. Matt solved a previously bad install and fixed it quickly and correctly. Would absolutely recommend Bates to anyone looking for great, friendly, and cost effective HVAC service.

Kelly S.

We’ve used Bates for over ten years. Highly recommend!

AJ M.

Matt from Bates Mechanical was able to solve our issue quickly and took the time to explain how we can avoid it in the future. I would really recommend them to anyone else with a heating issue in the cold weather!

Jude S.

Just love this business. They have always taken care of me. I trust them not to rip me off. Their work has always been reasonably priced and reliable.

My AC went out and I wanted to get it replaced quickly. I called a franchise company and they got out here the next day, tried to sell me outrageously priced units, and guaranteed next day install. I called Bates Mechanical next and they came out that same day and quoted me half the cost of the other guys. Matt even tried to do what he could to get my AC going until they could get back for the install. I couldn’t be happier with the professionalism by all, honesty in all aspects, and making sure I fully understood what had happened with my old unit and how to use of my new one. Bates Mechanical has a customer for life.

What I thought might have been was not at all what it was thank God it was only a Capacitor thanks for your help

Bates Mechanical installed a new Bryant HVAC system in our home about 9 years ago. This winter we were having an intermittent noise issue with the inducer motor on our furnace. Because THEY registered our system when they installed it, all parts have a 10 year warranty. They came out quickly, assessed the problem, and replaced the part. Yes, we paid a little for the labor (less than an hour) but it saved us hundreds of dollars. Through the whole process they were very professional and easy to work with. We definitely would recommend their products & services!!

Just had Bates Mechanical install a new Bryant Evolution heat pump system. Old unit was 15 years old so decided that it was time to replace. Greg the owner came out and gave me a quote on the new system. Three days later Tom, Larry and Kain came out and installed it. Everyone was professional and good at their job. System was installed in around 4 hours and the guys left everything as clean or cleaner than they found it. Would definitely recommend these guys to anyone who is looking for a fair, competent HVAC company.

Bates has been my HVAC company for many many years great people very professional family owned and run highest quality work available

B S.

Always easy and great dealing with these guys. Everyone in the company is amazing to deal with. Patti is great, never got frustrated no matter how many times I called and Greg, Todd, and Matt are great. Very professional, friendly, and fair. If your having any kind of A/C-furnace problems I highly recommend Bates.

Lee M.

Great clean, professional installation. Product installed is very quiet and efficient. Bates is a wonderful company that I have been associated with four plus years. Highly recommended!

Kelly S.

We've used Bates for sixteen years. They've put in a new HVAC system and do semi-annual maintenance for us. Todd's awesome! Highly recommend.

William G.

Very professional from start to finish. Did a superb job in doing installation and cleaned up thoroughly when the job was over.

James N.

Bates Mechanical is the best Heating and Cooling company in southern Indiana I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with.Matt showed up when he said he would and gave me a more than fair estimate to replace my furnace and heat pump after being told some pretty ridiculous figures from other companies.They are a no gimmicks straight to the point kind of company.They didn’t try to sell me something I didn’t need and his guys showed up on time and did a wonderful job installing my new equipment. I couldn’t be happier.If you are looking for a experience like this I would 100% recommend them to anyone.

Raymond L.

Great place to work with friendly, professional , prompt for appointments for our twice a year preventive maintenance. Our service technician Todd is the best!

David H.

Professional, friendly, and fast. Can’t ask for any more. I will be recommending Bates to every one. I’m old enough to really appreciate his level of professionalism.

Cody S.

One of the top notch HVAC businesses in the area. Quote was reasonable and installation was clean and thought out. Working with a family owned business who takes pride in quality and craftsmanship is why chose Bates because I knew they would stand behind their work. They also supplied a temporary mobile system for the dry wall finishers so we’re not circulating that dust through our brand new system. Consider this when new construction, dryer vents, bath vents, and cooktop vents by them when the sheet metal guys are on site.

On time; quick; very professional

Bates Mechanical was highly recommended to me by a local friend and I now know why. Tod was extremely professional, responsive, and honest. This is a great company and I will remain a customer for sure.

Jeff S.

Pleasant and prompt service

Kellie S.

Highly recommend Bates Mechanical! Todd showed up on time, explained things well and I feel confident my HVAC is ready for the changing season. Very reasonable and came the next day after I called for an appointment.

Amanda G.

Quick to diagnose and quick to get us back up and running! Always super friendly, very experienced and knowledgeable!

Richard A.

Great job will use again thanks

Jane W.

Easy-going tech, pleasant to work with. Completed our HVAC installation to a high standard.

Cassie G.

I called to see about having an estimate & subsequently had them replace ALL the duct work under my house from water damage & also asked about having them service my furnace at the same time. They did a WONDERFUL JOB. VERY professional & definitely live by the golden rule as they claim. They even moved my thermostat for me as well & it was so much cheaper than I'd expected. I've found new AC/furnace repair techs for sure!!

Jay C.

Bates installed my complete system 22 years ago. Only have had to call them twice. First time was a year and a half ago for a new capacitor on the AC outside unit. The second time was yesterday because the heating unit had been getting louder and I thought maybe a bearing was going out. The same repair man came, easily fixed the problem and couldn't have been more professional and helpful. I called yesterday at 830 am, he was there at 1000 and he was done about 1045. You can't ask for better service than that. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to know.

Luz W.

After my ac broke down on a hot day, I called Bates Mechanical for help. They were so understanding about the situation and advised me to do an ac replacement and not just an ac repair. They did the ac installation for my house and I am so thankful that I called them. They are very professional and skilled.

Heather G.

If you need an HVAC company, then Bates Mechanical Inc. is your go to. They are a family-owned business in my home town and have been around for my entire life. I'm sure they have been working on every house in the neighborhood for as long as I can remember. The customer service is always prompt and very professional, which is so appreciated by someone like me who counts their time in minutes, not hours.

T D.

This is a three generations family owned business. The employees are extremely kind, professional and intelligent. I have known Bill Bates for two decades, his son Greg Bates for nearly 55 years. They are available, no matter how big or small the job is. I highly recommend Bates Heating and Cooling in Freedom IN.

Brenda

Prompt and courteous

Alisha C.

Clean, professional and friendly! We received a full HVAC replacement and duct installment for a home addition. They arrived on time, protected our floors, were very respectful of our home and showed us how everything worked when they were finished. I would highly recommend Bates Mechanical to anyone looking for HVAC services.

Jamie P.

Very knowledgeable technicians

Arndt S.

The team was well organized, polite, careful, and efficient during the installation of our new hybrid heat pump/AC system. They even cleaned up after the work was done. I highly recommend them.

Don C.

Actually they did a great job they do deserve 5 stars.

Cheryl G.

When our old furnace recently bit the dust, we called Bates. Someone was there that day. Our system was so old they were not able to obtain the needed piece so we opted for a new system. The crew arrived as scheduled, got straight to work, had the old unit removed immediately and the new one installed and running within hours. Everyone was pleasant and professional.

Candace C.

Highly recommend! Friendly, on time, great communication, and excellent service! Thank you, Matt!

Adam L.

Our air conditioning went out in the morning around 1130, my wife called bates and they said it could be a couple hours before they could get to us. The guy that showed up had been working all day and was ready to go home but he came to our house around 5, he found the problem why it wasn’t working in 5 minutes, changed out our capacitor and he could’ve high tailed it out of there but he stayed and hooked up his hose to clean off the outside ac unit. Super nice guy, his name was Matt, me and my wife highly recommend using bates heating and cooling out of freedom Indiana. Thank you guys so much!!!

Susan J.

Thank you to Tom with Bates Mechanic Heating & Cooling for getting our A/C unit up & running again as quickly as they did. Thanks to Patty for getting it arranged so quickly! You can count on Bates for great service!

Bates Mechanical has been serving Greene County homes and businesses since 1968 — three generations of a family-owned company with a physical office in Freedom and established routes along IN-54 and IN-59. When you call for HVAC service in Linton, you're not going to the back of a Bloomington dispatch queue. Linton is on the route. We run regular calls through Linton, Bloomfield, Jasonville, and Clay City, and same-day windows are available for most requests in the area.



Many companies showing up in a Greene County HVAC search are either out-of-state franchise operations or lead-generation sites that don't employ their own technicians. Bates Mechanical is neither. Real offices, local technicians, and more than 55 years of service in this region.

HVAC Services in Linton and Greene County

Whether you live near downtown Linton, along IN-54 toward Bloomfield, out toward Jasonville or Clay City, or on a rural county road, we handle the full range of residential heating and cooling work. That includes furnace repair, AC repair, heat pump installation, duct services, and emergency calls. We service all major makes and models already in Greene County homes and carry common parts on our trucks — which means most repairs are completed on the first visit rather than waiting on an order.

AC Repair in Linton, IN

When central air fails on a July afternoon in Greene County, same-day AC repair is available for most calls in Linton and nearby. We diagnose the problem, share findings and pricing before any work starts, and complete the repair on the first visit when parts are on hand. If the system is past the point of repair, we'll give you a clear comparison between repair and replacement — no pressure, just the numbers.

Furnace Repair for Linton & Greene County Homes

A furnace failure in a January cold snap is one of the worst situations to be navigating with an out-of-town contractor who isn't sure of the route or the parts. Bates Mechanical has been servicing Greene County furnaces for decades, running calls from Freedom through Linton on familiar roads. We repair all major gas furnace brands, carry common components on our trucks, and explain options clearly before any work begins. For true no-heat emergencies in freezing temperatures, after-hours service is available.

A Regional Company, Not a Regional Franchise

Bates Mechanical has been in this region since 1968 — long before multi-state HVAC franchises started routing calls through centralized dispatch centers and branding themselves as "local." Three generations of the same family have built and maintained relationships with customers in Greene County. We're a Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer, which means factory-trained technicians and warranty-eligible parts, but the reason Greene County homeowners call us back is simpler than that: we show up, explain what we found, and fix it at a fair price.

Same-Day Windows on IN-54 and IN-59

Calls within Linton and surrounding Greene County communities often qualify for same-day service windows, supported by our Freedom office location and established routes along IN-54 and IN-59. Morning calls can typically open afternoon slots. If a part needs to be ordered, the return visit is prioritized. After-hours comfort issues are scheduled for the next available daytime appointment to keep costs reasonable.

Reliable Systems for Rural Homes: Brands, Efficiency, And Options

Serving Both Rentals And Rural Properties

From in-town rentals to farmhouses on county roads, we coordinate access, share findings, and complete approved repairs quickly. If replacement provides better long-term value, we’ll outline bids and timelines to minimize downtime and return trips.
