Heating & Cooling Service in Newton, NC
Catawba County seat — we know the historic homes and the crawlspace ductwork challenges.
Newton is the county seat of Catawba County and a vibrant, growing community centered around its historic courthouse square. The town has a healthy mix of well-maintained older homes in the downtown area, mid-century ranch neighborhoods in West Newton, and newer residential growth toward the south. Starnes Heating & Air has been a trusted HVAC provider for Newton families for over two decades.

HVAC Service Built for Newton
Newton's downtown historic district includes many homes built in the early 1900s with unique heating challenges -- high ceilings, plaster walls, and original single-pane windows that make modern HVAC systems work harder than they should. We have worked on many of these properties and understand how to balance comfort with preservation. In the Catawba Springs area and the neighborhoods toward Maiden, we see more conventional ranch-style homes where the most common issue is aging ductwork hidden in crawlspaces or attics that has never been inspected.
Why Newton Homeowners Choose Starnes
Newton has grown enough to attract the attention of the big corporate HVAC chains, but their model depends on volume and commissioned sales. Ours depends on repeat customers and referrals. When you are the county seat and people talk, reputation matters more than advertising budget. Newton homeowners choose us because their neighbor recommended us after we did an honest job at a fair price.

“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.”
