Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the University Drive corridor have specific HVAC needs?
Huntsville Heating and Cooling serves the University Drive corridor in northwest Huntsville, where most residential development happened in the 1990s-2000s. That makes the housing stock now in the typical range where AC and furnace systems originally installed at construction are reaching end-of-life — replacement work is one of the more common service requests in this zone.
When should I replace a 20-year-old AC system?
Huntsville Heating and Cooling typically advises homeowners considering replacement on systems that are 15-20 years old. The decision factors include current efficiency rating (older units often run at SEER 8-10 vs current code minimums of SEER 14-15), refrigerant type (older R-22 systems are increasingly expensive to service), and frequency of repairs versus replacement cost.
What's involved in a heat pump installation?
Huntsville Heating and Cooling installs residential heat pumps — typically a one-day install for a standard 2-3 ton system replacing existing AC. Heat pump installs require electrical capacity for the indoor air handler's heating element backup, and proper sizing is critical because oversizing causes short-cycling that drops both efficiency and lifespan.
Does the company offer financing for system replacement?
Huntsville Heating and Cooling typically offers financing options on full system replacements, often through manufacturer-affiliated financing programs that bundle equipment, installation, and warranty into a single monthly payment. Specific terms vary based on the equipment manufacturer and the customer's credit profile.
How does HVAC sizing work for Huntsville homes?
Huntsville Heating and Cooling performs Manual J load calculations for new system installs — the industry standard sizing methodology. The calculation accounts for square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, and Huntsville's local climate (hot humid summers, mild winters). Properly sized systems run more efficiently than over- or under-sized equipment.
Is the company licensed in Alabama?
Huntsville Heating and Cooling operates as a licensed Alabama HVAC contractor. Customers can verify license status through the state HVAC contractor board's online lookup. Technicians performing refrigerant work also hold EPA Section 608 certification, which is federally required to handle refrigerants.
