Two different calls come in every day. One is about a system that has stopped entirely: no heat, no cool, nothing. The other is about a system that runs but never quite does the job, a house that stays humid in summer no matter what the thermostat reads, a room that's always ten degrees off from the rest. Martin Heating & Cooling takes both. The first call is urgent and we treat it that way. The second call matters just as much, because a system that runs poorly costs money every month and eventually becomes the first kind of call anyway.
Asheboro homes cover a wide range. Older houses on their original equipment, additions that the ductwork never properly reached, newer builds with smart controls that need configuration. Businesses that cannot lose climate control without losing a day of operations. We work across all of it, and the process is the same regardless of what the property looks like: diagnose accurately, explain clearly, and confirm the price before anything is touched.
Every quote starts with what the system is actually doing. A technician looks at the equipment, identifies the fault, and works out what the repair or replacement involves before any number is put in front of you. The price reflects the specifics of that job, not a generic estimate built before anyone has seen the system.
Three things move a quote in either direction. The first is what the fault turns out to be. A failed capacitor and a failed compressor are not the same job, and the quote reflects that. The second is what has to be reached to fix it. Equipment tucked into a tight crawlspace or an attic that requires clearing access takes more time than a unit sitting in an open mechanical room. The third is whether a repair is the right answer at all. When a system is old enough and the repair cost climbs toward replacement value, we say so. You get a straight answer on which path makes more sense, and the price is confirmed before we proceed.
Call (743) 263-9878 and we'll walk through what the job involves and what it will cost before anything is scheduled.
Some properties have more flexibility than others. A homeowner can make do for a day while a repair is staged. A restaurant, a medical office, or a retail space often cannot. When a commercial system goes down, the timeline matters in a way it does not for an empty house.
We work around trading hours where the situation calls for it. That might mean staging a repair across a visit before opening and a second visit after close. It might mean prioritizing the zone that covers the most critical part of the building while a full fix is scheduled. Same-day service is available, and we are reachable every day from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM, including weekends.
The goal is keeping the property operational while the work gets done. We stand behind every system we service, and that applies to commercial equipment the same way it applies to a residential split system.
Low airflow is one of the most common complaints we hear, and the cause is rarely obvious from the outside. It might be a clogged filter or a dirty evaporator coil restricting the air path. It might be a blower motor that is losing capacity, or a duct run that has separated somewhere in the attic or crawlspace. Duct sealing and repair addresses the distribution side of the problem. Evaporator coil cleaning addresses the equipment side. A diagnostic visit determines which it is before any work starts.
A single thermostat controlling a whole house works well when the house is one open space. It works poorly when there are multiple floors, additions, or rooms with different sun exposure and occupancy patterns. Zoning systems divide the home into independently controlled areas, each with its own temperature setting. Smart thermostat installation pairs well with zoning, giving you the ability to manage each area from a single interface. We handle the installation and configuration so the controls actually work with the existing equipment.
A system that runs for long stretches without reaching the set temperature is telling you something. The cause might be a refrigerant leak reducing the system's capacity to move heat. It might be an oversized or undersized unit that was never matched correctly to the space. In humid conditions, it might be that the system is moving air but not pulling enough moisture out of it, which makes the air feel warmer than the thermostat reads. Refrigerant leak diagnosis and condenser and compressor service are both part of how we work through these calls.
A system that starts making noise it did not make before is worth a call. Rattling can point to loose panels or debris in the unit. Grinding or screeching usually involves a motor bearing. A banging sound at startup or shutdown can indicate a compressor issue. None of these resolve on their own, and most get worse if the system keeps running. A technician will identify the source and tell you what the repair involves.
Here's what most people get wrong about their HVAC system: a tune-up is not just a filter swap. A proper maintenance visit covers the full system. Refrigerant levels, electrical connections on the equipment, coil condition, blower operation, thermostat calibration, and the drain line all get checked. Issues that are developing but have not yet caused a failure get flagged so you can decide how to handle them before they become an emergency. Spring before the cooling season and fall before the heating season are the natural windows. We handle maintenance on both residential and commercial systems across Asheboro and Randolph County.
Most calls start with something the customer has noticed: a sound, a smell, a room that will not cool down, a system that will not turn on. The diagnostic visit is where we find out what is actually happening. Work is carried out by qualified HVAC technicians, and the diagnosis covers the full system rather than stopping at the first plausible cause. You get a clear explanation of what was found and a confirmed price before any repair begins.
A system that is running fine is still worth a scheduled visit. Seasonal tune-ups catch the small problems before they become expensive ones, and a maintained system holds efficiency better than one that only gets attention when something goes wrong. The service page carries the full breakdown of what a maintenance visit covers.
When a system has reached the end of its useful life, or when repair costs have climbed to the point where replacement makes more financial sense, a full system replacement is the practical answer. We handle the removal of the old equipment, proper sizing for the property, and installation of the new system. Central air installation and heat pump installation are both part of what we do here. The region's climate makes heat pump technology a strong option for many Asheboro homes, and we walk through the options before anything is scheduled. Fast diagnosis. Honest pricing. Comfort restored.
Before booking anything, the page covering HVAC work is worth a read.
A scheduled maintenance visit does two things at once. It keeps the system running at the efficiency it was designed for, which matters when the cooling season runs long and the heating season brings enough cold to stress the equipment. And it gives a technician a clear look at the system's condition, which is the only reliable way to know whether a repair is coming before it arrives.
For older homes in the area, maintenance visits often turn up issues that have been building quietly. A coil that has not been cleaned in years, a refrigerant charge that has drifted, a blower that is working harder than it should. Addressing these during a scheduled visit costs less than addressing them when the system stops working on a hot afternoon. We also handle whole-home dehumidification as part of the indoor comfort picture, because humidity control in this region is not an optional upgrade. It is part of what makes a home genuinely comfortable through the summer months.
When a system is completely down, the priority is getting it running again as quickly as possible. Same-day service is available for urgent calls across Asheboro and the surrounding area, and we are available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM. When you call, describe what the system is doing or not doing, and we will work to get a technician out as quickly as the schedule allows.
For tenants and businesses that cannot wait out a multi-day repair window, we work through the situation practically. That might mean a staged repair, prioritizing the part of the system that matters most, or identifying a temporary fix while parts are sourced for a more involved job. With a local company, you get answers straight from the people doing the work, not a callback from a scheduling center that does not know the property.
We'll get the job done and the system running.
We cover Asheboro and the surrounding communities in Randolph County. That includes Franklinville, Randleman, Ramseur, and Seagrove. Whether the property is in the city or in one of the smaller communities nearby, the same service applies. Residential calls, commercial calls, and everything in between.
If you are in Randolph County and need heating or cooling work handled, call us. We cover the area and we know the kind of systems that come up here.
Yes. We cover Franklinville, Randleman, Ramseur, Seagrove, and the surrounding areas in Randolph County, along with Asheboro itself. The same process applies regardless of where the property is located: call for a quote, get the price confirmed before anything is scheduled, and a technician will handle the job from there.
Yes, and it is the first thing worth doing. A thermostat set to the wrong mode, a dead battery, or a setting that was accidentally changed can look like a system failure. If the thermostat checks out and the system still is not responding, that information is useful when you call because it rules out the most common simple causes.
Adding a vent is not always the right fix. If a room is getting insufficient airflow, the cause may be a duct restriction, a leaking duct section, or a system that is not producing enough pressure to reach that branch of the duct system. Adding a vent without addressing the underlying issue can sometimes make airflow worse in other parts of the house. A diagnostic visit identifies where the actual problem is before any changes are made.
A system that runs without satisfying the thermostat is usually dealing with a capacity problem, an airflow restriction, or a refrigerant issue. In some cases the system was not sized correctly for the space to begin with. A diagnostic visit will identify which of these is driving the problem.
Our installation and replacement work covers the same area as our repair and maintenance calls. If you are unsure whether your address falls within the area we cover, call us at (743) 263-9878 and we will confirm before you schedule anything.
Intermittent faults are harder to catch on a quick inspection, so the technician may need to run the system through a full cycle to observe the behavior. Describing when the fault appears, how long the system has been running when it happens, and what it looks like helps the technician know what to watch for. That detail makes the diagnostic visit more productive.
Call us and let us know the scheduling constraints when you book. We work with property managers and landlords regularly and can discuss what access arrangements are needed for the visit to go forward. The specifics depend on the property and the equipment location.
Whether a permit or inspection is required depends on the jurisdiction and the scope of the work. Requirements vary between a city and the surrounding county, and we confirm what applies at your address before the job is scheduled. Where permits are required, we handle that process as part of the installation.
High indoor humidity makes a space feel warmer than the thermostat reads, which leads people to run the AC harder without actually solving the problem. A standard central air system removes some moisture as it cools, but in a humid summer it often cannot keep up on its own. A whole-home dehumidifier ties into the existing system and pulls excess moisture out of the air across the whole house, which makes a noticeable difference in how comfortable the space actually feels.
In most cases, yes. Air filtration and air purification equipment can be integrated into the existing air handler and ductwork, so you get improved indoor air quality without a full system replacement. The right approach depends on the current setup, which is something we assess during a visit.
Older homes in the area often have gas furnace and central AC combinations that have been in place for many years, and some have equipment that has never been properly matched to the square footage of the house. Newer construction and recent replacements tend to lean toward heat pump systems, which handle both heating and cooling and are well-suited to this region's climate. We work on both, along with ductless mini-splits and systems with zoning controls.

Call for a quote and we will confirm the price before anything is scheduled.
| Service | What's Included | Best Suited For | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indoor Air Quality & Air Filtration |
| Homeowners and property managers focused on what is circulating through the air in their building | Asheboro's humidity makes air quality work especially relevant. Filtration and dehumidification address two separate comfort problems. |
| AC Repair & Service |
| Homeowners or property managers with an AC that stopped cooling or is underperforming | Asheboro summers run long and humid, so catching a refrigerant or coil issue early keeps the season from turning into a bigger repair |
| Thermostat & Smart-Control Installation |
| Anyone upgrading from a manual or outdated thermostat to a programmable or smart control | A properly calibrated thermostat can improve comfort and reduce runtime without any other changes to the system |
| Seasonal Maintenance & Tune-Ups |
| Homeowners who want to catch problems before they become emergency calls | Spring is the right window for AC prep. Fall is when the furnace or heat pump heating mode needs attention before temperatures drop. |
| Whole-Home Dehumidification & Humidity Control |
| Asheboro homeowners whose air feels sticky or muggy even with the AC running | A standard AC removes some moisture but often cannot keep up with Piedmont summer humidity on its own. A whole-home unit addresses the gap. |
| Emergency HVAC Service |
| Anyone dealing with a complete system failure at the worst possible time | We take emergency calls every day of the week. When you call, we ask about the symptoms and get a technician scheduled as quickly as possible. |
| Heating & Furnace Repair |
| Anyone dealing with a furnace that will not turn on, short-cycles, or blows cold air | Piedmont winters can drop fast, and a furnace that is struggling before the cold arrives is worth a diagnostic visit before it fails overnight |
| Heat Pump Installation |
| Homes replacing an older split system or moving away from straight electric resistance heat | North Carolina's mild winters and long summers make heat pump technology a strong fit for this climate |
| Full System Installation & Replacement |
| Homeowners or commercial clients replacing aging or failed equipment | Correct sizing is the most important part of a replacement. An oversized unit short-cycles and leaves humidity behind. An undersized one never catches up. |
| Furnace & AC System Replacement |
| Homeowners facing a major component failure or repeated repairs on aging equipment | Compressor failures, refrigerant leaks on older systems, and repeated no-heat calls are common triggers for a replacement conversation |
| Heat Pump Repair & Service |
| Homeowners whose heat pump is blowing the wrong temperature or not turning on at all | Heat pumps handle both seasons, so a fault in fall or spring can affect the system before the peak demand period hits |
| Ductwork Repair & Sealing |
| Homes with uneven temperatures, rooms that never reach setpoint, or higher-than-expected energy bills | Leaky ducts in an unconditioned attic or crawlspace can send a significant share of conditioned air nowhere useful |
