Air Conditioning Repair & Installation in Huntsville, AL
A North Alabama summer without a working air conditioner is not something you want to experience. Durham Service Company repairs, tunes up and installs central air conditioning systems for homeowners across the Huntsville area.
We service all brands and install Daikin — one of the most efficient central AC systems available today.
Keep Your Home Comfortable Year-Round
North Alabama Summers Put Your AC System to the Test.
Huntsville averages over 80 days a year above 90 degrees. Add high humidity and your central air conditioning system runs harder and longer than systems in most other parts of the country. That kind of workload exposes weaknesses in aging equipment, deferred maintenance and undersized systems fast.
A properly sized, well-maintained central AC system keeps your home comfortable, controls indoor humidity and runs efficiently without driving up your power bill. When something goes wrong, you need a team that diagnoses the actual problem and fixes it correctly — not one that replaces parts until something works.
OUR SERVICES
Our Air Conditioning Services in Huntsville and North Alabama
AC Repair
When your air conditioner stops cooling, starts making noise or cycles on and off without reaching temperature, the problem needs a licensed technician — not a YouTube fix. Our technicians diagnose the root cause, explain what they found in plain language and give you repair options before any work begins. We repair all major central AC brands including Daikin, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and others.
Common AC problems we repair:
System runs but produces warm or weak airflow
AC unit freezing up or icing over
Refrigerant leaks
Compressor and capacitor failures
Electrical and contactor issues
Thermostat and control board problems
Drainage and condensate line blockages
Unusual sounds — grinding, squealing or banging
AC Tune-Up
A tune-up is the single most effective way to keep your air conditioner running reliably through a North Alabama summer. Most AC failures don't happen randomly — they build up over time from components that haven't been inspected, cleaned or adjusted. A professional tune-up catches those issues before they become breakdowns.
What our AC tune-up includes:
Thermostat calibration and testing
Air filter inspection and replacement recommendation
Evaporator and condenser coil inspection
Refrigerant level check
Electrical connection inspection and tightening
Capacitor and contactor check
Condensate drain cleaning and flush
Blower motor and belt inspection
Overall system performance test
Call for pricing. Tune-ups are available for all central AC brands.
AC Installation and Replacement
If your system is over 12 to 15 years old, needs a major repair or simply isn't keeping up with your home's cooling demands, replacement is often the smarter investment. We assess your home — square footage, insulation, duct condition and sun exposure — before recommending a system. You get the right size and configuration, not the highest-margin option.
For new installations and replacements, we install Daikin central air conditioning systems. Daikin is one of the world's largest HVAC manufacturers, known for energy efficiency, quiet operation and long-term durability.
Why homeowners choose Daikin for AC replacement:
High SEER2 ratings that reduce monthly energy costs
Quiet operation compared to standard equipment
Consistent cooling performance in high-humidity conditions
Strong manufacturer warranty
Backed locally by Durham Service Company as an authorized Daikin dealer

Some rooms cool well while others stay warm
Your energy bills have increased without a change in usage
The system runs constantly without cycling off
You hear grinding, rattling or high-pitched sounds from the unit

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have any question about our services? Feel free to give us a call and also take a look at our list of frequently asked questions!
Does Durham Service Company repair all central AC brands in Huntsville?
Yes. We repair all major central air conditioning brands — Daikin, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and others. For new installations and replacements, we install Daikin systems exclusively. We do not service window unit systems.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my AC system?
Age and repair cost are the two biggest factors. If your system is under 10 years old and the repair is straightforward, repair usually makes sense. If the system is 12 to 15 years old and facing a major component failure, replacement often delivers better long-term value. We give you an honest assessment of both options and let you decide.
How often should I have my central AC system tuned up in Huntsville?
Once a year is the standard recommendation — ideally in the spring before peak cooling season. North Alabama's long, hot summers put more wear on AC systems than most climates. An annual tune-up keeps your system running efficiently and catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. Call us at (256) 533-2462 for pricing.
