Why Talladega Homeowners Trust Alabama Cooling and Heating
Who We Are
A Team Committed to Excellence
Why We Started This
Richard Mixon founded Alabama Cooling and Heating in 1988 with a straightforward reason — too many homeowners in Talladega were calling HVAC companies and getting slow responses, vague explanations, and bills that didn't match what was quoted. He wanted to build something different. A company that treats every service call the same way, whether it's a quick repair or a full system replacement. More than 35 years later, that same standard still drives every job we take on.
Licensed, Local, Accountable
We hold AL License #88156 and have been BBB accredited since 2023 — not because those credentials are required for marketing, but because they reflect how we operate. Our technicians bring 75 years of combined experience across residential and commercial HVAC systems. We serve Talladega, Anniston, Gadsden, Sylacauga, and the surrounding communities. Every job we do is tied to our name and our reputation in this area, and we take that seriously on every single call.

Our Services in Alabama
Everything Your HVAC System Needs — Repairs, Installs & More
HVAC Repair Services
When your system stops working, you need someone who can diagnose it fast and fix it right. Our technicians have handled hundreds of repair calls across Talladega and the surrounding areas — from refrigerant leaks to electrical failures. We don't guess. We find the problem, explain it clearly, and get your system back up running the same day when possible.
Air Conditioning Installation
A poorly sized AC unit will cost you more money every single month. We assess your space properly before recommending any equipment. Whether you're replacing an old unit or installing in a new build, we make sure the system fits your home's needs — not just whatever's in stock.
Heating System Replacement
If your heating system is more than 15 years old and breaking down repeatedly, repairs may be costing you more than a replacement would. We help you weigh the numbers honestly. Our team handles full heating system replacements efficiently, with minimal disruption to your day.
Furnace Repair & Installation
A furnace that struggles on cold nights isn't just uncomfortable — it's a sign something's wrong. We service gas and electric furnaces, identify issues that other companies often miss, and install new systems that are properly matched to your home's square footage and insulation.
Heat Pump Services
Heat pumps are efficient, but they require a technician who actually understands how they work. We repair, maintain, and install heat pump systems for both heating and cooling seasons. If your heat pump is short-cycling, icing up, or losing efficiency, we can walk you through exactly what's happening.
Indoor Air Quality Solutions
The air inside your home can carry dust, allergens, and humidity that affects how comfortable — and how healthy — your space feels. We install and service air quality equipment that works alongside your existing HVAC system. Cleaner air is one of those upgrades most people don't think about until they experience the difference.
HVAC Maintenance & Tune-Ups
Most HVAC breakdowns are preventable. Regular maintenance keeps your system running efficiently, extends its lifespan, and catches small issues before they become expensive ones. We offer maintenance plans that work around your schedule — so your system is ready before summer heat and winter cold hit.
Ductless Mini-Split Repair
Mini-split systems are great for zoned comfort, but when they malfunction, you need a technician familiar with the specific brand and setup. We repair ductless systems including Mitsubishi units, addressing issues like drainage problems, sensor failures, and refrigerant loss without unnecessary part replacements.
Thermostat Installation & Replacement
A faulty or outdated thermostat can throw off your entire system's performance. We install and replace thermostats — including programmable and smart models — and make sure they're properly calibrated and communicating with your HVAC equipment. It's a small upgrade that can make a noticeable difference in comfort and efficiency.
AC out in July? Heat gone in January? No one has time for that.

Our Simple 3-Step Service Process
1
You Reach Out, We Listen
When you call (866) 517-4579 or send us a message, we ask the right questions upfront. What's happening with your system, how long it's been going on, and what you've already noticed. This isn't just small talk — it helps our technician arrive prepared with the right tools and a clear idea of what to look for. We don't show up blind and bill you for the extra time it takes to figure things out on-site.
2
We Diagnose and Explain
Once we're at your home or business, we do a thorough assessment of your system before recommending anything. We'll tell you exactly what's wrong, what caused it, and what your options are — including honest input on whether a repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation. You'll have a clear number before any work begins. No surprises, no pressure.
3
We Do the Work Right
After you decide how to move forward, we get to work. Our technicians handle the job with care — whether it's a same-day repair or a full system installation. Before we leave, we make sure everything is running properly and that you understand how your system is performing. If something doesn't look right, we don't consider the job done until it is.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How fast can you get to my home for an HVAC repair in Talladega?
In most cases, we can schedule same-day or next-day service for HVAC repairs in Talladega and the surrounding areas. We know a broken system isn't something you can wait a week for, especially during Alabama summers. When you call (866) 517-4579, we'll give you an honest arrival window — not a vague four-hour guess. Our goal is always to get there quickly and fix it on the first visit.
Do you offer free estimates for HVAC installation or replacement in Talladega?
Yes, we provide free estimates for equipment replacements and new installations. We'll come to your home, look at your current setup, and give you a clear number before any commitment is made. There's no pressure and no obligation. We'd rather you make an informed decision than feel rushed into something that may not be the right fit for your home.
How do I know if I need to repair or replace my AC unit?
The honest answer depends on the age of the system, the cost of the repair, and how efficiently it's been running. If your unit is over 12–15 years old and needs a major repair, replacement often makes more financial sense long-term. We'll walk you through both options with real numbers so you can decide what works for your situation — not ours.
Are you licensed to do HVAC work in Alabama?
Yes. Alabama Cooling and Heating operates under AL License #88156, which is required for all HVAC contractors in the state. Our technicians are fully licensed and we carry the appropriate insurance for every job we take on. You can also find us listed with the Better Business Bureau, where we've been accredited since 2023.
What areas near Talladega do you serve?
We serve Talladega, Anniston, Gadsden, Sylacauga, Jacksonville, Pell City, Oxford, Rainbow City, Attalla, Southside, Lincoln, and Heflin. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just call us at (866) 517-4579 and we'll let you know right away. We've been covering Talladega County and the surrounding communities for over 35 years.
Do you work on both residential and commercial HVAC systems?
Yes, we service both residential homes and commercial buildings. Our technicians have experience with a wide range of system types and sizes, so whether you're dealing with a home unit or a larger commercial setup, we're equipped to handle it. The same standards of quality and honest pricing apply regardless of the job size.
Can you repair my heat pump if it's not keeping up in cold weather?
Yes, and this is actually a very common issue we see in Talladega and Anniston during winter months. Heat pumps can lose efficiency or fail to switch to emergency heat for several reasons — including wiring issues, refrigerant problems, or sensor failures. We'll diagnose the exact cause and explain what needs to be done before any repair work begins.
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance in Alabama's climate?
Twice a year is the standard recommendation — once in the spring before cooling season and once in the fall before heating season. Alabama's heat and humidity put more strain on HVAC systems than milder climates, which means regular maintenance matters more here than in most states. Skipping it often leads to breakdowns at the worst possible time, right when the system is working hardest.
