A North Carolina HVAC Contractor Built on Real Local Roots
The Chill Brothers started in Texas in 2020 and grew into a Lennox Premier Dealer known for AC repair, AC installation, furnace service, indoor air quality work, and commercial HVAC.
We came into North Carolina in 2025 by acquiring Alternative Aire, a Durham HVAC company founded in 2011, in April of that year. Two months later we opened a dedicated Raleigh-Durham office, and by November we had also acquired Tower Heating, Air and Plumbing, a Raleigh based company in Wake County. That branch now runs out of 3131 RDU Center Dr in Morrisville, dispatching technicians to Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Morrisville, Charlotte, Asheville, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, Hickory, Fayetteville, and Wilmington. Across all of our locations we have completed more than 10,000 installs and hold a 4.7 star rating from over 3,125 verified Google reviews.
HVAC Services We Provide Throughout North Carolina
We handle residential and commercial heating and cooling work, not just one or the other.
North Carolina summers keep AC systems under load for months at a stretch. We repair units that are struggling to keep up, install new systems, and run the tune ups that keep small issues from becoming big ones.
Winter in North Carolina is not one thing. It is mild in the Piedmont and genuinely cold in the mountains and foothills, and both furnaces and heat pumps take a beating from that range. We work on both.
Humidity does not take a season off in most of North Carolina. Our indoor air quality work is about keeping the air clean and the moisture in check year round.

HVAC Issues North Carolina Homeowners Call Us About Most
Our technicians see the same handful of problems on repeat across the state. Here is what usually causes each one.
The AC runs, but the house still feels sticky
This is the complaint we hear most often, especially closer to the coast and through the Piedmont. Three things usually explain it: the system is oversized and shuts off before it has run long enough to pull moisture out of the air, the evaporator coil is dirty, or the blower is set to move air faster than it should for good dehumidification. We can usually tell which one it is during a single visit. If your ductwork is undersized, that will make it worse regardless of the system itself. Our Duct Size Calculator is a quick way to check.
The heat pump cannot keep up once it gets cold
Once temperatures drop into the 30s, which happens routinely in the mountains and foothills and now and then even in the Piedmont, a heat pump has to work harder to hold temperature. If yours is running nonstop and still falling short, check for low refrigerant, a unit stuck in a defrost cycle, or a system that was undersized for how cold your area actually gets in a hard winter. A failed backup heat strip is another one we run into often.
One floor is always warmer or colder than the rest of the house
Very common in two story homes across North Carolina. Usual causes are an imbalance in the ductwork, return air that is too small for the system, gaps in attic insulation, or dampers that are not set right. A zoning system fixes this for good in most cases. If you are not sure whether your system was even sized correctly to begin with, our AC Size Estimator will give you a real answer.
The electric bill keeps climbing
A system that has to work harder runs longer, and that shows up on your bill fast. Low refrigerant, dirty coils, a failing capacitor, or a thermostat that has drifted out of calibration are the usual causes. A diagnostic visit tells us which one within the hour.
The unit is making a noise it did not used to make
Grinding is almost always a motor bearing on its way out. Banging usually means a loose blower wheel or a compressor issue. Hissing points to a refrigerant leak. None of these get better on their own, and waiting almost always turns a cheap fix into an expensive one.
Deciding between a repair and a full replacement
Past ten years old, needing a major part like a compressor or coil, or still running on R-22 refrigerant are the three signs that usually point toward replacement. A newer system with a single failed part is almost always worth repairing instead. We show you both numbers honestly and let you make the call, because it is your money either way.
How a Service Call With Us Actually Works
Free estimate
We come out to your North Carolina home, look at what you actually need, and hand you a written quote before anything gets scheduled. No fees for the visit, no fine print, no pressure to decide on the spot.
The work itself
A certified, background checked technician does the job cleanly, whether that is a full install or a same day repair. We treat your house the way we would want ours treated.
Final walkthrough
Before we leave, we walk the finished work with you, confirm the system is running the way it should, and hand over the paperwork, so you know exactly what was done.
Stay Ahead of Breakdowns With Our Maintenance Plan
Humid summers and cold snaps both take a toll on HVAC equipment in North Carolina. A maintenance plan is one of the cheaper ways to avoid a midsummer breakdown, and it tends to pay for itself in lower energy bills alone.
What the Chill Maintenance Plan covers
- Seasonal tune ups for both cooling and heating
- Priority scheduling ahead of walk-in customers during peak season
- Discounted parts and repairs
- A full inspection at every visit
- A written performance report after each visit
Paying for a New System Without the Sticker Shock
A failing system should not turn into a financial emergency. Our financing options include:
- 0% Interest for 36 Months on qualifying installs
- $2,000 Buy-Back for your old system when you trade it in
- Flexible financing through our lending partners, across a range of credit situations
- $500 Referral Program for sending people our way
Ask our team which option makes the most sense for your situation. We will tell you honestly, not just sell you the biggest package.

Questions North Carolina Homeowners Ask Us Most
Answered by our senior technicians, who between them have decades of hands on experience working North Carolina homes.
What does AC repair usually cost in North Carolina?
Most jobs land somewhere between $150 and $900. A capacitor or contactor is on the cheap end. Compressor or coil work is on the expensive end. Whatever it is, you get a written number before we touch anything.
What does a full AC installation cost?
Generally $6,000 to $15,000, depending on the size of the system, its efficiency rating, and how your existing ductwork is set up. Between the Buy-Back program and 0% financing, most people end up paying less per month than they expected walking in.
Do heat pumps actually work in North Carolina winters?
In most of the state, yes, without much drama. A good variable speed heat pump handles Piedmont and coastal winters fine. Once you get up into the mountains and foothills where it gets genuinely cold, we usually recommend pairing it with backup heat strips or going with a dual fuel setup so the coldest weeks are not an issue.
How often should I actually have my system serviced?
Twice a year is the right cadence. Cooling maintenance before summer hits, heating maintenance before the first cold snap. If you are on our maintenance plan, we will call to remind you so it does not slip through the cracks.
Why does the house feel humid even though the AC is on?
Almost always one of three things: the system is oversized and shuts off before it pulls enough moisture out, the evaporator coil is dirty, or the blower is running faster than it should. We check all three on a service visit. Some homes genuinely need a whole home dehumidifier alongside the AC, and we will tell you straight if yours is one of them.
Is it worth repairing my old system, or should I just replace it?
Past ten years old, a major failed part like a compressor or coil, or still on R-22 refrigerant, all point toward replacement being the better financial move. A newer system with one bad part is usually worth fixing. We give you real numbers on both paths.
Can you come out the same day if something breaks?
Yes, across our North Carolina coverage area. Call 844-512-4455 and ask about the $29.99 diagnostic. Phones are staffed Monday through Friday 7am to 9pm, and weekends 8am to 9pm.
What financing do you actually offer?
0% interest for 36 months on qualifying systems, plus flexible financing through our partners for a range of credit situations. Combined with the Buy-Back program, most homeowners end up with a lower monthly payment than they assumed.
Do you work on commercial systems too?
Yes. Restaurants, retail spaces, medical offices, and light industrial buildings. That covers rooftop unit repair, preventive maintenance contracts, after hours emergency calls, and refrigeration systems.
Are your technicians actually licensed in North Carolina?
Yes. [Insert North Carolina HVAC contractor license number here before publishing.] Every technician is background checked, drug tested, and NATE certified before we send them to your door.
