Keep Your Home Comfortable Year-Round
North Alabama Winters Demand a Reliable Heating System
North Alabama winters are not as severe as the upper Midwest, but they are real. Huntsville sees regular stretches of freezing temperatures, ice storms and occasional hard freezes that stress heating systems that haven't been properly maintained. A system that ran fine last February may not make it through this one without a tune-up or repair.
The bigger risk for North Alabama homeowners is a heating system that runs inefficiently — one that cycles constantly, struggles to reach set temperature or drives up energy bills without delivering consistent comfort. Our technicians diagnose the actual problem and fix it correctly the first time.
OUR SERVICES
Our Heating Services in Huntsville and North Alabama
Furnace Repair
A furnace failure in the middle of a North Alabama cold snap is uncomfortable at best and dangerous at worst — especially in homes with young children or elderly family members. Our licensed technicians diagnose and repair all makes and models of gas furnaces and heating systems. We identify the root cause, explain what we found and give you repair options before any work begins. We repair all major furnace and heating brands including Daikin, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and others.
Common furnace problems we repair:
System runs but produces little or no heat
Short cycling — frequent on and off without reaching temperature
Ignition and pilot light failures
Heat exchanger issues
Blower motor problems
Electrical and control board failures
Unusual noises — banging, rattling or squealing during operation
Carbon monoxide detector triggers related to heating equipment
Heating System Tune-Up
Most heating failures don't happen without warning — they develop over time from components that haven't been cleaned, adjusted or inspected. An annual tune-up before winter is the most reliable way to keep your system running through the season without an emergency service call.
What our heating tune-up includes:
Heat exchanger inspection for cracks or damage
Burner cleaning and adjustment
Ignition system inspection and testing
Thermostat calibration and testing
Air filter inspection and replacement recommendation
Flue and venting inspection
Electrical connection inspection and tightening
Blower motor and belt inspection
Carbon monoxide check
Overall system performance test
Call for pricing. Tune-ups are available for all furnace and heating brands.
Heat Pump Repair & Installation
Heat pumps are one of the most efficient heating and cooling solutions available for North Alabama's climate. They work by moving heat rather than generating it — extremely effective for the moderate winters and warm summers this region sees. If your heat pump is struggling to keep up, making noise or failing to switch between heating and cooling modes, our technicians diagnose and repair the problem correctly.
For heat pump replacements and new installations, we install Daikin combined systems — equipment designed to handle both heating and cooling in a single, efficient package.
Heat pump services we provide:
Full system diagnostics across all major brands
Reversing valve repair and replacement
Refrigerant leak detection and repair
Compressor and coil service
Defrost control and sensor repair
Full system replacement with Daikin equipment
Post-installation walkthrough and homeowner orientation
Why heat pumps work well in North Alabama:
Efficient heating performance in mild to moderate winter temperatures
Handles both heating and cooling — one system, year-round
Lower operating costs compared to traditional gas furnaces in many applications
Daikin combined systems offer high efficiency ratings and quiet operation
Heating System Installation and Replacement
If your furnace or heating system is over 15 years old, facing a major repair or simply not delivering consistent comfort, replacement is worth considering. We assess your home before making any recommendation — square footage, insulation quality, existing duct condition and your household's heating patterns all factor into the right system choice.
For new installations and replacements, we install Daikin combined HVAC systems. As an authorized Daikin dealer, we carry and install equipment configured specifically for your home.
Why homeowners choose Daikin for heating replacement:
Industry-leading efficiency ratings that reduce monthly energy costs
Combined heating and cooling in a single system
Durable components built for long service life in demanding climates
Strong manufacturer warranty

Indoor Air Quality - Cleaner Air Starts With Your Heating System
Your heating system does more than control temperature — it circulates the air your family breathes every day. Winter months mean closed windows and more time indoors, which concentrates dust, allergens, humidity imbalances and airborne particles inside your home. The right indoor air quality equipment addresses those issues at the source.
Brands We Trust for Indoor Air Quality
We install and service products from three of the most respected names in the industry:
Santa Fe: High-performance dehumidifiers and humidity control systems built for climates like North Alabama's. Santa Fe systems manage moisture at the source, reducing mold risk and improving year-round comfort.
Daikin: Beyond heating and cooling, Daikin offers whole-home air purification and ventilation solutions that integrate directly with your existing system for cleaner, fresher indoor air.
Aprilaire: A leader in whole-home humidifiers, dehumidifiers and air filtration. Aprilaire products are built for long-term performance and are a trusted choice for homeowners across Madison County.
Indoor Air Quality Services Include:

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 furnace and heating brands in Huntsville?
Yes. We repair and maintain all major furnace and heating brands — Daikin, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and others. For new installations and replacements, we install Daikin combined systems exclusively as an authorized dealer.
Is a heat pump a good heating option for a Huntsville home?
For many North Alabama homeowners, yes. Heat pumps perform efficiently in mild to moderate winter temperatures, which describes most of a Huntsville winter. They handle both heating and cooling in a single system, which reduces equipment costs and simplifies maintenance. We assess your home and usage before making a recommendation.
How often should I have my heating system tuned up?
Once a year — ideally in the fall before heating season begins. An annual tune-up catches developing problems before they become failures, keeps your system running efficiently and extends equipment life. Call us at (256) 533-2462 for pricing.
