About Sterling Heating & Cooling
Founded in 1987, Sterling Heating & Cooling has built a reputation in Durham, NC as a straight-shooting top-rated hvac contractor that doesn't push system replacements when a repair will do. The team is unusually rigorous about indoor air quality and ventilation work in addition to core heating and cooling, and is one of the few local shops that will quote both a repair and a replacement option on the same visit so homeowners can make an informed call. NATE-certified, state-licensed, EPA refrigerant-handling certified, and proudly insured.
