Do you service emergencies after-hours?

How much will my service cost?

The size and complexity of your HVAC issue will determine the cost. Because our trained, licensed HVAC technicians must diagnose the issue before we are able to quote you an accurate cost, we require an appointment to be set to complete a diagnostic on your system. Once the diagnostic is complete, your One Hour(R) technician will walk you through all costs using our Straightforward Pricing(R) Guide so there are never any surprise fees.

How often should I service my HVAC system?

It's ideal to service your cooling system each spring and your heating system each fall to ensure you find small issues before they become big problems.

How often do I need to change my HVAC filter?

Your filter should be changed every one to three months, depending on conditions in your home and your region's climate.

Do you offer purchase financing?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore comfort in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

What are the advantages of a smart thermostat?

Smart thermostats learn a household's patterns and adjust heating and cooling according to when a home is occupied, give homeowners the ability to control the thermostat remotely, and enable homeowners to reduce their energy use, saving you money.

HVAC means Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC systems refer to air conditioners, furnaces, and any unit that cools indoor spaces during the summer and warm them in the winter. In general, an HVAC system takes in air, heats or cools that air, and blows it into a room or any indoor space. While many homes have separate air conditioning and heating units, others have a heat pump that cools and heats the house. Not only do HVAC systems maintain desired temperatures, but they also improve indoor air quality and regulate humidity levels. But most importantly, these units provide comfort all year round.

What is a SEER2 Rating?

The SEER2 (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is a measure of the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.The higher the SEER2 rating, the more efficiently a unit operates. The SEER2 rating of any given unit can range anywhere from 13 to 21.

“Absolutely outstanding service and work by One Hour tech Brandon McDaniel. He exceeded my expectations on every aspect of the service visit. He is very detail oriented, finds the problem and explains in terms the customer can understand what the needed repair will do to correct concern. Being a retired service manager/engineer and similar in approach to repair diagnostics, I found Brandon very professional and a pleasure to work with. He is an asset to the One Hour team here in Birmingham and a leader to help provide a best in class service experience. I highly recommend Brandon and the One Hour team!”

“Eric was both professional and friendly. He was able to quickly identify my AC issue and had my house cooling off in no time! He also explained everything to me and even taught me a few things about my unit. I was very impressed with the service. I will now be using them for my annual servicing needs as well, Thank you!”

“Amazing company to work with, and amazing group of guys. Would highly recommend using. Everybody I’ve dealt with has been great and seems to have a high degree of integrity which you don’t always find in service companies. I would recommend them to anybody needing service work or new units installed.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just returned from a week-long vacation, and to my dismay, I found that my air conditioning unit wasn’t working properly. The house was warm and stuffy, which was the last thing I wanted after a relaxing getaway. Thankfully, I called 1 Hour Heating and Cooling for help, and they completely turned things around. From the moment I called, their customer service was polite, efficient, and quick to schedule a technician. The technician, Aaron arrived right on time (love the punctuality), and after a thorough inspection, he quickly identified the problem. It turned out to be an issue with the water pump, which he was able to replace on the spot. What really stood out was Aaronsl's professionalism and how he took the time to explain the issue in simple terms. He didn’t try to upsell or push for unnecessary repairs—just honest, straightforward service. In no time, my AC was up and running. If you're looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and professional air conditioning service, you really have no other choice but to call 1 Hour Heating and Cooling. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer! Highly recommend!”
