Heating and air conditioning in Auburn.

Auburn's population grew more than 77% between 2000 and 2020. That growth built whole subdivisions in a few years, packed rentals around campus, and left the 1800s houses on North College where they were. Each of those fails in its own way.

Working in Auburn

What we actually run into here.

Most of that growth landed in subdivisions, and houses built in the same few years tend to get equipment from the same era. When one system on the street gives out, the neighbors usually aren't far behind. When yours is the one that quits, we give you two written numbers: what the repair costs and what a replacement in Auburn costs. A twelve-year-old unit with a bad capacitor gets a capacitor, not a sales pitch.

Summers here are long. The city averages about 57 days a year at 90°F or hotter, and the humidity hangs on overnight. That wears on a system two ways. Long run hours burn through motors and capacitors, and equipment that's too big for the house cools the air fast but shuts off before it pulls the moisture out. If your thermostat says 74 and the house still feels clammy, that's a sizing or airflow problem, and it's exactly what we check on an AC repair call in Auburn.

Then there's the university. Auburn University enrolls more than 31,000 students, so a lot of houses near campus are rentals owned by people who live somewhere else. Those jobs need a clear diagnosis, a written price the owner can approve from a distance, and a repair that holds through the next lease. Winters are mild and most addresses here are on Alabama Power, which is why a properly set-up heat pump can carry most of the heating season without leaning on backup strips.

Common calls

The calls we take most in Auburn.

Houses that hit the setpoint but still feel stickyUsually oversized equipment short-cycling, or airflow set wrong for our humidity.
Rental AC failures near campusThe owner gets the findings and a written price before we touch anything.
Bonus rooms and upstairs bedrooms that never keep up in JulyOften a duct run that's too long or a return that's too small. See our ductwork and airflow work.
Heat pumps stuck on emergency heatThe backup strips run, the house stays warm, and the power bill shows it a month later.
Condensate drains overflowing in peak summerHumid months mean more water through the drain line, and more algae to clog it.
Second opinions on a replacement quoteWe'll look at the system and the quote and tell you what we'd actually do.

Where we work in Auburn

From North College to Moores Mill.

We cover the whole city. Near Toomer's Corner, the Old Main and Church Street Historic District holds homes built between 1848 and the 1930s, along North College Street and Gay Street. None were designed for central air, and a ductless mini-split is sometimes the cleanest way to cool a room the ducts never reached.

Farther out, we work in Camden Ridge off North Donahue Drive, Asheton Lakes, Water Oak, Moores Mill and the Auburn University Club area, plus Grove Hill in south Auburn near Moores Mill Road and I-85. Newer homes out there have newer equipment, but the problems still come back to sizing, duct design and maintenance. A $49 Monarch Check tune-up each spring catches most of it early.

Michael gave me an honest assessment, listened carefully to what I wanted, and never tried to upsell me on anything I did not need. His team went above and beyond, working through the hottest part of the day and well into the night to make sure our new HVAC system was installed properly.

Questions we get

Straight answers for Auburn homeowners and landlords.

I own a rental near campus and live out of town. Can you handle it?Yes. Tell us how to reach you and the tenant when you book. We diagnose the problem, send you the findings and a written price, and start once you approve. Under the Monarch Promise, it's fixed right or the trip back is free, and the approved price doesn't move.
Who supplies power in Auburn, and does it matter for my system?Most Auburn addresses are on Alabama Power. It matters most if you heat with a heat pump. Winters here are mild enough that the heat pump should do nearly all the work, so a winter bill that spikes usually means the backup heat strips are running when they shouldn't.
My house is in the historic district downtown. Can you work on it?Yes. Homes in the Old Main and Church Street district were built long before central air, so we work with what's there: sealing and resizing ducts, adding returns, or putting a ductless unit in the rooms the ducts never reached.
Should I repair or replace my system?That depends on the age of the system, which part failed and what refrigerant it runs on. We price both options in writing and leave the decision to you.
Can I finance a new system?Yes. Wisetack is our main lender, and if their approval doesn't come through we have other routes to try. All financing is subject to credit approval.
Are you licensed, and do you offer a military discount?Alabama HVAC contractor license #2024071. Monarch is veteran-owned by Michael Stewart, who served 8 years in the Alabama Army National Guard, is EPA Universal certified and NATE certified in heat pumps. Military customers get the service call free, or 10% taken off the repair.
