Frequently Asked Questions
Who founded A-O'K Heating and Cooling?
A-O'K Heating and Cooling was founded by owner Michael O'Kelley on January 1, 1979 from the Highway 157 shop on the northwest side of Florence. The company has run continuously under O'Kelley ownership for more than 45 years, which is unusual longevity for a single-owner HVAC shop in Northwest Alabama.
Does A-O'K offer maintenance plans?
A-O'K Heating and Cooling runs maintenance plans that cover regular tune-ups, priority scheduling during summer peak, and discounted diagnostic fees on emergency calls. Plan members typically schedule their summer tune-up in late spring and their winter check in early fall, which catches problems before peak season pressure.
Will the shop work on heat pumps?
A-O'K Heating and Cooling services heat pumps alongside standard AC and furnace work, which matters in Northwest Alabama where heat pumps are common on homes built since the 1990s. Common heat pump issues like reversing valve failures, defrost board problems, and refrigerant charge work all run through the standard service routes.
What does the shop charge for diagnostics?
A-O'K Heating and Cooling discloses its standard diagnostic fee on the booking call, with the fee waived against repair work in most cases. Maintenance plan members get a reduced diagnostic rate, and emergency after-hours calls add a surcharge that the office quotes when the call comes in.
Is the shop family-run?
A-O'K Heating and Cooling has stayed under owner Michael O'Kelley's leadership since the company opened in 1979. That continuity is why repeat customers in Northwest Alabama know the same name on the door year after year, which is part of how the shop has held its reputation through multiple HVAC market shifts.
Where do trucks dispatch?
A-O'K Heating and Cooling dispatches from the Highway 157 shop across Florence's northwest side and into Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, Tuscumbia, Killen, Rogersville, and Lexington. St. Florian and the rural Lauderdale County calls schedule through normal dispatch on weekday routes.
