Air Conditioning Services
Living in a beach town means hot, humid summer weather, so you need a dependable AC. At Comfort First, we offer cooling services for central air conditioners and ductless mini-splits.
Whether you’re having trouble with your system and need AC repair or preventative air conditioning maintenance, we’re here to help. Our team also offers air conditioning installation and replacement when it’s time for a new unit.
AC Repair vs. Replacement
Knowing whether your AC needs repair or replacement isn’t always easy. Comfort First wants to help with our expert guidance. Here are some signs that it’s time to replace:
- Advanced age: After 10 to 15 years, your system is approaching the end of its lifespan.
- Repair cost and frequency: If you’re facing repeat repairs or a repair that’s more than half the cost of a new system, then replacement is more cost-effective.
- Reduced efficiency: If your utility bills have steadily increased over the past few years, a new one may help lower your energy bills.
Heating Services
Kitty Hawk sees its share of chilly winter weather, so you need the right heating system to keep your home warm. We offer a full list of heating services with expert care and exceptional customer service:
Types of Heating Systems We Service
At Comfort First, we know many homes in our area have different heating systems. That’s why we service them all, including:
- Gas furnaces: For homes with natural gas lines, this provides an efficient, reliable heating option, heating the air using natural gas and blowing the heated air through the home’s ductwork.
- Electric furnaces: Electric furnaces are a great option for homeowners who want the reliability of a furnace but without the need to run a gas line.
- Heat pumps: Heat pumps harness the heat energy of outdoor air to heat and cool homes efficiently.
Ductwork Services
You need quality ductwork for your HVAC system to work well. Leaks, debris buildup, and poor installation can all decrease efficiency and worsen indoor air quality.
We offer duct installation, repair, and sealing services to ensure the heated and cooled air in your home can easily get where it needs to go.
Indoor Air Quality Services
Your home may have poor indoor air quality without you knowing. Dust, pollen, and allergens can linger in the air circulating throughout your home.
We offer indoor air quality services to help you breathe freely, including:
- Air filtration system installation
- UV light installation
- Whole-home humidifier installation
- Whole-home dehumidifier installation
- Carbon monoxide monitoring system installation
Local Service Across the Northern Beaches
Living on a barrier island means each neighborhood has its own quirks—wind exposure at Kitty Hawk Beach, towering live oaks in Kitty Hawk Village, or sound‑side humidity along Woods Road. Our crews know them all.
Kitty Hawk Core
We stock common parts for homes off Croatan Highway, Virginia Dare Trail, and the quiet lanes near Kitty Hawk Elementary. Whether you own a classic cedar‑shake cottage on Lindbergh Avenue or a golf‑course retreat in Sea Scape, we’ll keep your AC whisper‑quiet for lazy porch nights.
Southern Shores & Chicahauk
Just north of town, tree‑lined Chicahauk Trail and private beach accesses hide salt‑air challenges. We install sealed‑combustion gas furnaces to protect against drifting sand and offer sewer camera inspections for homes around Martins Point Marina.
Kill Devil Hills & Avalon Beach
From the Wright Brothers Memorial to the Avalon Pier, elevated decks and rental turnovers demand quick response times. Our maintenance plans include next‑day service so property managers can greet guests with crisp air and hot showers.
Duck & Sanderling
Historic Duck Village shops generate foot traffic—and lint—in ductless systems. We’ll clean filters after a busy summer and suggest whole‑home dehumidifiers for sound‑front residences in Sanderling where marsh breezes raise indoor humidity.
Corolla & The Four‑Wheel‑Drive Beaches
Corolla Light, Ocean Sands, and Carova Beach face extra salt spray. We outfit outdoor heat‑pump coils with protective coatings and carry generators in 4×4 vans for service beyond the paved road.
Roanoke Island & Mainland Gateways
If you commute over the Wright Memorial Bridge from Manteo, Manns Harbor, or Grandy, our plumbers can tackle leaks before you return home. We maintain mini‑splits in artist studios around the Manteo waterfront and retrofit smart thermostats in older bungalows.
Hatteras Island Villages
Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, and Avon experience frequent power dips. Ask about surge‑protected air handlers and propane backup heat that keeps Buxton and Frisco cottages comfortable even when the Bonner Bridge is gusty.
No matter where you live—from milepost‑marked beach roads to the wooded canals of Colington Harbour—you get the same neighborly service. We arrive on time, haul away debris, and leave fresh boot covers at the door.
