"I went on a Facebook group and asked people for the best company in this area and they surely came through."

Thank you, Irving, for the amazing 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When your AC goes out, you shouldn't have to wait days for comfort. Our technicians arrive ready to solve the problem on the spot. In Irving's case, we had his system diagnosed and running again within 20 minutes of arrival!

🍀 May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the rain fall soft upon your fields,
And may your home stay perfectly comfortable through it all.🍀

We’ll handle the heating and cooling, so you can enjoy the blessings (and maybe a little luck) this St. Patrick’s Day brings.

Wishing you warmth, comfort and a bit of Irish cheer today! 💚

What a week, Rutherfordton and it's only Tuesday!

The last few days of extreme weather here in North Carolina have kept our phones ringing and our team moving.

We want to thank you, our amazing customers, for your patience, kindness and understanding while we worked through the surge in service calls. When temperatures get this intense, we know how stressful it can be to wait for help.

We’re proud to serve this community and we’re not slowing down. If you still need us, we’re on the way.

1/24/26 1:30pm: Here’s the updated timeline. The good news is it looks like roads and sleet doesn’t really get heavy till after seven or 8 PM tonight so still plenty of time to get things done and traveled during the day into the early evening. There certainly could be some early snowflakes, but it’s not gonna last long before changing to sleet this evening. Also super cold and windy out there. It’s really frigid already.

Dear valued customers,

With the extremely cold temperatures expected across North Carolina this weekend, we wanted to share a few quick steps you can take to help protect your HVAC system (Take these steps ONLY during ICY conditions) and avoid unnecessary damage.

What we recommend:

🧊 Switch your thermostat to Emergency Heat (Auxiliary Heat).
This prevents your outdoor unit from running in freezing conditions.

🧊Cover your exterior HVAC unit with plastic or plywood to help keep ice and freezing rain out of the system.

Make sure each thermostat is set to emergency or auxiliary setting before covering the outside units.

As soon as the precipitation passes, you will be able to uncover and return to normal heat settings.

🚨🚨 NOTE: If you have a large portable or whole-home generator, the above method may not work. It depends on whether the generator was wired to run ONLY the outside heat pump or BOTH the heat pump and emergency heat.

If your generator is wired to only run your heat pump, leave your HVAC on the regular heat settings and DO NOT cover it.

After an ice storm, we often have many people with broken fan blades and burnt motors from ice buildup. We hope this helps save our customers from unexpected costs.

Pritchard Heating and Cooling will be available for emergency service calls throughout the weekend (please call ONLY for extreme emergencies, as the office has been inundated). Please keep in mind, however, that if your home loses power, there is unfortunately nothing that can be done to the unit until power is restored.

If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help you stay warm and protect your system.

Stay safe and warm,
Pritchard Heating and Cooling
