Heating & Cooling Service in Morganton, NC
Gateway to the mountains — we spec backup heat strips for Morganton's cold snaps.
Morganton is the county seat of Burke County and the gateway to the mountains, sitting where the Catawba Valley meets the Blue Ridge foothills. The town has a wide mix of housing stock -- century-old homes near the historic downtown courthouse, established mid-century neighborhoods along Salem Road, and newer developments near the I-40 corridor. Starnes Heating & Air has served Burke County homeowners since 1998.

HVAC Service Built for Morganton
Morganton's proximity to the mountains means temperature swings can be dramatic. A sunny 55-degree afternoon in March can drop to 28 degrees by midnight. Systems in Morganton need to handle that transition smoothly, which is why heat pumps with properly sized auxiliary heat strips are our most common recommendation here. We also work with several Lake James area properties and vacation homes that need systems designed for intermittent use rather than constant operation. If you have a cabin or second home near the lake, we can set up a system that protects against freezing pipes while keeping energy costs manageable when you are away.

Reviews from Morganton Area Customers
262+ verified reviews across Google, Ruud, and Facebook“The Starnes team installed the original HVAC system in our home. We chose Starnes again for a new basement unit based on the quality of their first job. The team was professional, added new ductwork, maintained our existing unit, and upgraded our thermostat. We are very satisfied.”

“Absolutely the best HVAC company I’ve ever worked with! They came out the same day, diagnosed the issue quickly, and had everything fixed at a fair price — no upsell nonsense. The technician was professional, friendly, and explained how everything works. Highly recommend!”

“Starnes Heating & Air replaced both of my units in 2022. When the upstairs unit stopped working on a weekend, they sent a technician promptly. Isaac found a clogged condensation line, cleaned it out, and checked the other unit to make sure its line was clear too. Outstanding customer service from the office call to the service call!”
