AC Services in Opelika, AL: Licensed Team for Repair, Maintenance, Installation, and Emergencies
Licensed HVAC professionals serving Opelika, Auburn, and Lee County for more than 40 years. HVAC License #15068. Headquartered in Opelika.
An air conditioning system in Opelika works harder than almost anywhere else in the country. Alabama summers keep residential AC running 10 or more hours a day from May through September, a cooling load that accumulates wear on every component in the system and makes the quality of service at every stage of the system’s life matter more than it would in a moderate climate.
Caswell Heating Air handles the full range of AC services for Opelika homeowners and businesses: repair when something fails, maintenance before it fails, installation when the system reaches the end of its serviceable life, and emergency response when a failure cannot wait.

AC Repair in Opelika
When an AC system fails in Opelika during summer, most homeowners are dealing with one of a small set of component failures: a run capacitor that degraded through one too many Alabama afternoons, a refrigerant leak that was not caught and sealed during the previous season, a condenser coil too fouled with pollen and debris to reject heat effectively, or a contactor that has worn past reliable operation.
Caswell’s diagnostic process measures voltage, amperage, refrigerant pressures, and temperature differential before proposing any repair, so the actual cause is identified rather than just the most accessible component. Most common repairs are completed on the same visit with parts carried on the service vehicle.
A written estimate is provided before any work begins. No repair starts without your written authorization.
For urgent situations, 24-hour emergency AC repair is available around the clock.

Tori Mejia called Caswell Heating Air when her system was underperforming and described a technician who found the actual problem efficiently and delivered savings no competitor had offered: “Josh quickly identified our issue and saved us tons of money compared to other competitors. Thank you, Josh and team, for the friendly and amazing service!” Read the full review
AC Maintenance in Opelika
Alabama’s cooling season is long enough that an AC system in Opelika accumulates wear across thousands of compressor cycles between May and September. An annual maintenance visit from a Caswell technician measures refrigerant pressures, tests capacitors and contactors before they fail, cleans coil surfaces that reduce efficiency, and inspects condensate drainage before a blockage causes water damage.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a dirty air filter alone can increase energy consumption by 5 to 15 percent — and a system running in Opelika’s climate with a loaded filter and fouled coils accumulates that penalty across hundreds of operating hours per season.
Pre-season scheduling before May provides the best appointment availability. Comfort Club members receive two seasonal tune-ups per year as part of their $20 monthly membership, with priority scheduling that ensures their system is serviced before summer demand peaks.

Matt Knitter had not scheduled a tune-up in a few years when technician Trey Bradford came out and showed him pictures of everything found in the attic, both what was working and what needed attention:
“Trey Bradford with Caswell Heating and Air came out today and a Tuneup for us, hadn’t done one in a few years. He showed me picture of all the stuff good and bad going on with the AC in the attic. He was a pleasure to deal with, great Christian kid. He is a PLUS to have as an employee for Caswell.”
AC Installation in Opelika
When a repair is no longer cost-effective, typically when a system over 15 years old faces a major component failure, or when recurring repairs have exceeded a meaningful portion of replacement cost, Caswell Heating Air provides honest guidance on system selection and handles the full installation. Every installation begins with a Manual J load calculation to determine the correct tonnage for the structure. Every new system meets Alabama’s DOE South region SEER2 minimum of 14.3 for split systems. Every installation is tested under operating load before the technician leaves.
Old equipment is removed and disposed of as part of the installation scope, including refrigerant recovery per EPA Section 608 requirements. Financing is available for qualifying system replacements.

Performance Verification on Every AC Service Call

- For repairs: refrigerant pressures, amperage draw, and temperature differential are re-measured after the fix.

- For installations: the new system is tested until correct temperature differential and electrical load are confirmed. Written service records covering all measurements are provided at the close of every call.
