Solon covers a wide stretch of southeast Cuyahoga County, from SOM Center Road and Aurora Road down toward Cannon Road, Pettibone Road, and the neighborhoods surrounding Solon Community Park and Grantwood Golf Course. With more than 23,000 residents and a large number of homes built between the 1960s and early 2000s, P.K. Wadsworth Heating & Cooling receives service calls throughout Solon every week for aging furnaces, electrical upgrades, plumbing repairs, and uneven comfort issues.
Homes near Liberty Road, Bainbridge Road, and the newer developments off US-422 now rely on systems that have been expanded, updated, or pushed harder than they were originally designed for. If your heating, cooling, plumbing, or electrical system has started causing problems, call (440) 248-2110 or contact P.K. Wadsworth online to schedule service in Solon.
Why Solon Homeowners Continue Calling P.K. Wadsworth
P.K. Wadsworth has been serving Northeast Ohio homeowners for decades, and Solon remains one of the communities our technicians regularly work in throughout every season. We service homes near Solon High School, the industrial corridor off Cochran Road, and established neighborhoods where original equipment is now reaching the end of its lifespan.
Solon homes have gone through significant renovations over the years, especially kitchens, finished basements, home offices, and additions. That usually means HVAC systems, plumbing lines, and electrical panels are carrying more demand today than they were when the home was first built. Our technicians understand the layouts, construction styles, and common repair issues we see throughout Solon neighborhoods.
Heating & Furnace Repair in Solon, OH
One of the more common winter calls in Solon starts with someone saying the furnace never actually shuts off once temperatures drop. In neighborhoods near Hawthorne Valley Country Club, Liberty Hills, and the older subdivisions surrounding SOM Center Road, we regularly find systems trying to heat additions, remodeled lower levels, and larger family rooms that were added years after the original furnace was installed.
Some homes still rely on equipment installed during the major building growth years of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Others have newer furnaces connected to older duct systems that were never redesigned to handle modern airflow demands. That combination often leaves upstairs bedrooms colder than the rest of the house while the furnace runs longer than it should.
P.K. Wadsworth provides heating solutions throughout Solon, including:
- Heating repair
- Heating installation
- Heating maintenance
- Furnace repair and replacement
- Boiler services
- Heat pump services
- Ductless heating systems
Air Conditioning & Cooling Services in Solon, OH
Cooling problems in Solon rarely affect the entire house equally. Calls near Miles Road, Richmond Road, and the neighborhoods surrounding Solon Community Park often involve upstairs rooms becoming uncomfortable by mid-afternoon even though the thermostat downstairs says the house is cooling normally.
The issue usually comes down to airflow distribution, insulation differences between levels, or older systems trying to cool square footage that has expanded over time. Larger two-story homes and properties with vaulted ceilings near US-422 tend to expose those problems quickly once Northeast Ohio humidity settles in during July and August.
Cooling services available throughout Solon include:
- AC repair
- AC installation
- AC maintenance
- Ductless air conditioning
- Heat pumps
- Zoned air conditioning systems
Plumbing & Water Heater Services in Solon, OH
Most plumbing issues in Solon begin as smaller problems people try to work around for a while. Maybe the water heater takes longer to recover in the morning, a basement drain starts backing up during storms, or a sump pump suddenly sounds louder than normal after heavy rain.
Homes near Pettibone Road, Cannon Road, and areas closer to the Chagrin River watershed often depend heavily on sump pump systems because finished lower levels are common throughout those neighborhoods. Once groundwater starts building up during extended rain, weak sump systems become noticeable very quickly.
P.K. Wadsworth provides plumbing services throughout Solon, including:
- Plumbing installation
- Plumbing repair
- Water heaters
- Tankless water heaters
- Leak detection
- Drain cleaning
- Piping and repiping
- Garbage disposals
- Sewer services
- Gas line work
- Sump pump and well pump services
- Expansion tank installation and replacement
- Sink repair
Electrical Repair & Upgrades in Solon, OH
Electrical systems throughout Solon are handling far more demand today than they were originally designed for. Homes near Signature of Solon Country Club, Cannon Road, and newer developments off Aurora Road now regularly support EV chargers, backup generators, larger kitchen appliances, home office equipment, and finished entertainment spaces all at the same time.
In older sections of Solon, we frequently find panels that were adequate decades ago but are now operating near capacity because the home has gradually expanded around them. Flickering lights, overloaded breakers, and inconsistent power often start appearing after another renovation or appliance upgrade gets added to the system.
Electrical services we provide throughout Solon include:
- Electrical repair
- Electrical installation
- Electrical panels
- Ceiling fans
- Outlets and switches
- Whole-home rewiring
- EV charger installation
- Surge protection
- Lighting services
- Whole-home generators
Indoor Air Quality Solutions for Solon Homes
In some Solon homes, the house never quite feels comfortable even when the temperature setting looks correct. The air feels dry during winter, heavy during humid stretches, or dusty in certain rooms no matter how often filters get changed.
That is especially common in larger homes near Liberty Road and newer construction surrounding US-422 where tighter insulation keeps conditioned air inside but also traps humidity, dust, and stale airflow more easily than older draftier homes.
P.K. Wadsworth installs and services:
- Air purifiers
- Air scrubbers
- Dehumidifiers
- Humidifiers

I had a very positive experience with PK Wadsworth. I had someone out to service the furnace and got several different quotes depending on the investment I wanted to put in. The new quote was very competitive and the new furnace was installed today. The service team was professional and left my house the way they found it.
