HVAC Service in
Hickory, NC
Hickory is the largest city in the Catawba County area and the economic hub of the Greater Hickory metro. With a mix of historic Craftsman bungalows in Viewmont, mid-century ranch homes along Highway 70, and newer construction in the Green Park and Highland neighborhoods, Hickory homes span a wide range of HVAC needs. Starnes Heating & Air is just a 15-minute drive from our Granite Falls headquarters, so we can respond quickly when your heat goes out on a January morning or your AC struggles through an August afternoon.

A City on the Rise
Many Hickory homes built before the 1970s still have original ductwork that has never been upgraded. If your energy bills are climbing or certain rooms never seem to get comfortable, aging ducts may be the culprit rather than the unit itself. We see this constantly in the Viewmont and Ridgeview neighborhoods. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment and never push a full replacement if a targeted repair or duct sealing will solve the problem.

The Same Person Who Diagnoses Is the One Who Fixes It
Hickory has no shortage of HVAC companies, but most of the big outfits send commissioned salespeople to your door before a technician ever looks at your system. At Starnes, the person who diagnoses your problem is the same person who fixes it. We quote a price, we do the work, and we stand behind it. That straightforward approach is why Hickory homeowners have trusted us since 1998.

Hickory has been a manufacturing and trade hub since the 1870s. Many of the homes we service today were built during the mid-century furniture and textile boom — and carry HVAC systems that are overdue for an upgrade.
Hickory HVAC Questions We Hear Every Day
How quickly can you get to my Hickory home?
Our Granite Falls shop is about 15 minutes from most Hickory neighborhoods. During business hours we can typically schedule same-day or next-day service.
My older Hickory home has uneven temperatures between rooms. What should I check?
Many mid-century homes in Hickory have undersized or deteriorating ductwork. Before replacing your entire system, we inspect the ducts, check airflow at each register, and look for leaks. Often a duct repair or rebalancing solves the problem at a fraction of the cost of a new unit.
Do you service commercial buildings in Hickory?
We focus on residential HVAC but do handle light commercial work for small offices and retail spaces under 5,000 sq ft. Call us to discuss your specific needs.

All of them. We regularly service Downtown Hickory, Viewmont, Highland, Westmont, Green Park, Ridgeview, Longview, and everywhere in between.
