Heating and Air Conditioning in Huntsville
North Alabama Heating & A/C is based in Huntsville, and we have been repairing, tuning up and replacing heating and cooling systems for Huntsville families since 1977. Our technicians work on air conditioners, heat pumps, gas furnaces, packaged units and the ductwork that ties them together.

What Huntsville Weather Asks of Your System
Huntsville summers are long, hot and humid, and an air conditioner can run most of the afternoon from June into September. Winters bring freezing nights mixed with plenty of mild days. That mix is a big reason heat pumps are so common here: they heat efficiently on a cool day and lean on backup heat when the temperature drops into the teens.
Humidity is what most people notice first. A system that is oversized, low on refrigerant or overdue for a coil cleaning can cool the house and still leave it sticky. We look for those causes on every tune-up and repair visit.
From a Huntsville Customer
“They handled our installation, provided exceptional service afterward, and even took the time to walk me through setting up an Ecobee thermostat. They completed our scheduled maintenance with a technician who was professional and knowledgeable. I was so impressed that I signed up for their monthly Homesaver Plan. These friendly experts deliver outstanding work at a fair price – exactly what a homeowner in Huntsville needs.” – Jim S.

Huntsville Neighborhoods We Serve
We work all over the city. Older homes in Five Points, Blossomwood and the Twickenham Historic District often have original ductwork, small return air paths and equipment tucked into closets or crawl spaces. Newer homes in Hampton Cove, Jones Valley and the subdivisions out Highway 72 West tend to have attic air handlers and heat pumps. We also serve homes up on Monte Sano. Each type of house has its own trouble spots, and we know where to look.
Whether you live near the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Cummings Research Park or the Huntsville Botanical Garden, our technicians are a short drive away.
HVAC Permits in Huntsville
Inside Huntsville city limits, permits are handled by the City of Huntsville Inspection Office. Installing or replacing a heating or cooling system typically needs a mechanical permit and an inspection, while repairs and tune-ups usually do not. When your job needs a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspection.
Some homes with a Huntsville mailing address sit outside city limits in unincorporated Madison County. Those fall under the Madison County Building Inspection Department instead. We check your address before work starts.

Huntsville HVAC Questions
How often should a Huntsville home have HVAC maintenance?
Twice a year works best here: the cooling side in spring before the heat and humidity arrive, and the heating side in fall before the first freeze. A heat pump handles both seasons, so it benefits from both visits.
Do I need a permit to replace my AC in Huntsville?
Inside city limits, a full system replacement typically needs a mechanical permit from the City of Huntsville. Repairs usually do not. We handle the permit and inspection as part of the job.
Why does my house feel humid even with the AC running?
Common causes are a system that is too large and shuts off too fast, a dirty evaporator coil, low refrigerant, or a thermostat fan set to ON instead of AUTO. A service visit will show which one it is.
Should I repair or replace my system?
Age, the cost of the repair and how well the system keeps the house comfortable all matter. A simple repair on a system in good shape is usually worth it. A major repair on an older system often is not. We lay out both options and give you a straight answer.
What size system does my Huntsville home need?
It depends on square footage, insulation, windows, ductwork and how much sun the house gets. We size the new system to the house instead of simply matching the size of the old unit.
