Heating in Alabama: what's different
Heating across Alabama depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 2–3). Heating seasons here are short, so furnaces and heat strips sit idle for months. Dust on burners, weak igniters and dirty flame sensors are the usual first-cold-night failures.
Alabama is a cooling-first HVAC market. Long, humid summers from May through September keep air conditioners and heat pumps running for months, and the Gulf Coast around Mobile sees some of the highest humidity in the country. Winters are short, but cold snaps still push heat pumps onto backup heat.
Alabama licenses HVAC contractors through the Alabama Board of Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractors. You can verify a certification on the Board's website before work starts. Common systems in Alabama: Heat pumps, Gas furnace + central AC, Crawl space and attic ductwork, Dehumidifiers.

FAQ
Heating questions in Alabama
Can I get heating service anywhere in Alabama?+
Our contractor network covers many Alabama ZIP codes. Call with your ZIP code and we will tell you whether a licensed contractor serves your address.
Is a heat pump a good choice in Alabama?+
Usually yes. Alabama's mild winters suit heat pumps well, and a modern unit handles both cooling and most heating. Homes in the northern hills sometimes add gas backup for the coldest nights.
What should I do if my carbon monoxide alarm goes off?+
Get everyone outside to fresh air and call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line. Do not go back in until responders say it is safe, then have the heating system inspected.
Why does my furnace turn on and then shut off?+
A dirty flame sensor, a blocked vent or intake, a clogged filter or an overheating heat exchanger are common causes. The control board's blink code helps a tech narrow it down.
