Your Trusted HVAC Company in Durham
Alternative Aire Inc was incorporated in Durham, NC in 2009, with one goal: do quality work and let the results speak for themselves. Word of mouth remains our biggest source of new customers, and we treat every visit like a referral is riding on it.
We are fully licensed and insured in North Carolina under NC H3-Class 1 #30223, NATE certified, and BBB A+ Accredited. When one of our technicians shows up at your door, you are getting someone trained, accountable, and backed by a company that has been part of this community for over 17 years.

When your system stops cooling, you need it fixed today, not next week. We identify the actual cause, quote a flat rate price, and complete most repairs in a single visit.
