When your system stops working, you need someone who can diagnose it fast and fix it right. Our technicians have handled hundreds of repair calls across Talladega and the surrounding areas — from refrigerant leaks to electrical failures. We don't guess. We find the problem, explain it clearly, and get your system back up running the same day when possible.

A poorly sized AC unit will cost you more money every single month. We assess your space properly before recommending any equipment. Whether you're replacing an old unit or installing in a new build, we make sure the system fits your home's needs — not just whatever's in stock.

If your heating system is more than 15 years old and breaking down repeatedly, repairs may be costing you more than a replacement would. We help you weigh the numbers honestly. Our team handles full heating system replacements efficiently, with minimal disruption to your day.

A furnace that struggles on cold nights isn't just uncomfortable — it's a sign something's wrong. We service gas and electric furnaces, identify issues that other companies often miss, and install new systems that are properly matched to your home's square footage and insulation.

Heat pumps are efficient, but they require a technician who actually understands how they work. We repair, maintain, and install heat pump systems for both heating and cooling seasons. If your heat pump is short-cycling, icing up, or losing efficiency, we can walk you through exactly what's happening.

The air inside your home can carry dust, allergens, and humidity that affects how comfortable — and how healthy — your space feels. We install and service air quality equipment that works alongside your existing HVAC system. Cleaner air is one of those upgrades most people don't think about until they experience the difference.

Most HVAC breakdowns are preventable. Regular maintenance keeps your system running efficiently, extends its lifespan, and catches small issues before they become expensive ones. We offer maintenance plans that work around your schedule — so your system is ready before summer heat and winter cold hit.

Mini-split systems are great for zoned comfort, but when they malfunction, you need a technician familiar with the specific brand and setup. We repair ductless systems including Mitsubishi units, addressing issues like drainage problems, sensor failures, and refrigerant loss without unnecessary part replacements.

A faulty or outdated thermostat can throw off your entire system's performance. We install and replace thermostats — including programmable and smart models — and make sure they're properly calibrated and communicating with your HVAC equipment. It's a small upgrade that can make a noticeable difference in comfort and efficiency.

Richard Mixon started Alabama Cooling and Heating with one goal — give Talladega homeowners an HVAC company they could actually trust. Too many people were getting oversold on equipment they didn't need or waiting days for a technician to show up. Since 1988, this company has grown by doing the opposite: showing up on time, explaining the problem clearly, and charging fairly for the work.
With 75 years of combined experience across our technician team, very few HVAC problems are new to us. We've worked on systems across Talladega, Anniston, Gadsden, Sylacauga, and beyond — residential homes, commercial buildings, and everything in between. Our AL License #88156 and BBB accreditation aren't just credentials. They're proof that we hold ourselves to a standard that most companies just talk about.


PROUDLY SERVING THESE AREAS
You'll know what the repair or installation costs before any work begins. We don't add surprise fees or upsell equipment you don't need. If a simple repair will do the job, that's what we'll recommend — even when a full replacement would mean more money for us.
Every technician on our team is fully licensed under AL License #88156 and trained to handle both residential and commercial HVAC systems. With 75 years of combined experience, we've seen almost every system configuration and failure type across Talladega County and beyond.
We're based in Talladega. We serve Talladega, Anniston, Gadsden, Sylacauga, and the surrounding communities — and we care about the reputation we've built here. When you call (866) 517-4579, you're reaching a local team that knows this area and stands behind its work.
In most cases, we can schedule same-day or next-day service for HVAC repairs in Talladega and the surrounding areas.

Yes, we provide free estimates for equipment replacements and new installations. We'll come to your home, look at your current setup, and give you a clear number before any commitment is made. There's no pressure and no obligation. We'd rather you make an informed decision than feel rushed into something that may not be the right fit for your home.
The honest answer depends on the age of the system, the cost of the repair, and how efficiently it's been running. If your unit is over 12–15 years old and needs a major repair, replacement often makes more financial sense long-term. We'll walk you through both options with real numbers so you can decide what works for your situation — not ours.

Yes, and this is actually a very common issue we see in Talladega and Anniston during winter months. Heat pumps can lose efficiency or fail to switch to emergency heat for several reasons — including wiring issues, refrigerant problems, or sensor failures. We'll diagnose the exact cause and explain what needs to be done before any repair work begins.
Twice a year is the standard recommendation — once in the spring before cooling season and once in the fall before heating season. Alabama's heat and humidity put more strain on HVAC systems than milder climates, which means regular maintenance matters more here than in most states. Skipping it often leads to breakdowns at the worst possible time, right when the system is working hardest.
