Heating & Cooling Service in Hickory, NC
Serving the Greater Hickory metro since 1998 — from Viewmont to Longview.
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.

HVAC Service Built for Hickory
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.
Why Hickory Homeowners Choose Starnes
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.

“Starnes Heating & Air replaced our old furnace with a new Ruud system. The estimate was clear, the price was fair, and the install was done right the first time. No surprises, no upselling. Highly recommend.”

“We have used Starnes for over 10 years now. They are always honest, on time, and fair on price. They recommended a mini-split for our sunroom addition and it works perfectly.”
