Heat Pump Installation & Repair in Chestertown, MD
KelAire HVAC provides heat pump installation and repair throughout Chestertown and the rest of Kent County. Owner Doug Kelley holds a Maryland state Master HVACR License MD-01 77965, and he personally handles the diagnosis and the work, so the person quoting the job is the same person doing it.
Chestertown is the Kent County seat with a colonial-era historic district along the Chester River waterfront. Chestertown is roughly 20 minutes from our Millington shop, well inside the area we cover every week. We know the housing stock here, including eighteenth century brick homes near Washington College that were never built with ductwork in mind, and that local knowledge shows up in how we size, install, and repair equipment.
If you have lived in Chestertown long, you already know: older radiator and boiler systems still running in homes on Water Street and Queen Street. We build our recommendations around realities like that instead of pretending every house is the same.

Why Chestertown Calls KelAire
KelAire is not a franchise and not a private-equity rollup with quotas to hit. Doug tries his best to repair before replacing, and more than one review mentions being told they did not need the expensive fix another company quoted. When replacement genuinely is the right call, you get options explained in plain language, with the tradeoffs laid out honestly.
Modern heat pumps hold full capacity well below freezing, which makes them a serious answer to propane and oil bills around Chestertown. The catch is that everything depends on correct sizing, charge, and airflow. A heat pump installed carelessly is an expensive space heater; installed right, it is the cheapest comfort in the county.
One call to (443) 310-0206 puts you on the phone with the technician, not a call center. Tell us what the system is doing, and we will tell you honestly what it probably needs and when we can be in Chestertown.
★★★★★“KelAire HVAC responded to my call for a non working A/C very quickly in the middle of a heat wave. Despite being very busy, they made time.”
