Central Alabama HVAC Firm Marks 23 Years, Combines 24/7 Service with Alabama Power Financing
Engle Services Heating and Air celebrates 23 years of growth, employing 43 staff and offering 24/7 emergency service with Alabama Power Smart Financing to help homeowners manage costs.
Engle Services Heating and Air, a family-owned HVAC contractor serving Central Alabama, has reached 23 years in business, growing to a team of 43 employees while extending its service coverage across multiple counties. Founded by Lewis Engle on January 1, 2001, the company operates through engleservicesheatingandair.com and has built a reputation for honest, dependable service in Sylacauga, Talladega, Pell City, Birmingham, and surrounding communities.
The milestone reflects deliberate expansion grounded in the principles set by Engle at launch. Rather than pursuing rapid growth at the cost of quality, the company added services and technicians gradually, entering new markets in response to customer demand and the availability of qualified staff. “We started this company with the belief that people deserve a contractor they can trust, and every decision since then has come back to that,” said Engle.
Key to the company’s value proposition is its partnership with Alabama Power Smart Financing, which gives customers a structured option for managing the costs of HVAC repairs and replacements. This arrangement addresses a common obstacle: homeowners delaying necessary work due to financial concerns, which can lead to more severe problems. The company also maintains 24/7 emergency service availability, a critical offering in Alabama’s climate where extreme temperatures can push HVAC systems to their limits.
Credentials reinforce the company’s commitment to standards. Engle Services holds an A+ accreditation with the Better Business Bureau, as well as NATE (North American Technician Excellence) and EPA certifications—designations that require ongoing training and confirm technical competency. The firm is also certified in Aeroseal duct sealing technology, a specialized process that targets air leakage within duct systems without invasive access to walls or ceilings, addressing energy efficiency and inconsistent heating and cooling.
As a family-owned contractor, the company preserves a culture tied to the founding family’s continued involvement. Lewis Engle remains active in day-to-day operations, and the emphasis on personal accountability shapes how technicians engage with customers. With 43 employees serving Talladega County, Jefferson County, and the broader Central Alabama region, the team operates under standards of transparency, respectful service, and technical reliability—whether for a routine maintenance visit or a full system replacement during a July heatwave.
The combination of 24/7 emergency access, financing options, and third-party certifications positions Engle Services as a notable player in the regional HVAC market, highlighting the importance of accessible and reliable home services in a demanding climate.
