Charlotte homeowners have trusted Dilling Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical since 1955, through decades of growth, neighborhood by neighborhood, zip code by zip code. Being a Charlotte mainstay doesn’t come easy; it comes from showing up on time, doing the work right, and treating people fairly. We’ve seen it all here in the QC: AC units quitting in 100-degree humidity, midnight pipe bursts, and older panels struggling to power a modern home. Whatever it is, we’re the crew you can count on 24/7.
Charlotte summers are brutal. When the Mecklenburg humidity spikes and the heat index hits triple digits, it’s a nasty mix that makes your home uncomfortable and drives your Duke Energy bill through the roof, too.
Our technicians handle AC repair, AC installation, and AC maintenance for all major system types and brands. If your system is short-cycling, blowing warm air, or making noise it wasn’t making last summer, we’ll diagnose the root cause and give you a clear answer on whether a repair or replacement makes more sense for your home.
We also specialize in ductless mini-splits, the perfect fix for those classic Charlotte home additions. Whether it’s a sunroom, an addition to your Myers Park home, or an attic, mini-splits deliver comfort without any new ductwork.
Charlotte winters might be mild on average, but as any local knows, the “Carolina Wedge” can bring a sudden ice storm or a hard freeze that cuts right through a drafty house. A heating system that’s been on the fritz or been coasting through winter now has to shoulder a lot of weight at once. Dilling provides heating installation, heating repair, and heating maintenance for furnaces, heat pumps, and hybrid systems throughout Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.
Furnace repair and furnace installation are among our most common cold-weather calls, especially in older Charlotte neighborhoods where original equipment has been running for 15 to 20 years. We’ll help you decide if a quick tune-up will get you through the season or if it’s time to upgrade to a system that handles the Charlotte “yo-yo” weather better.
In Charlotte, your plumbing challenges depend entirely on your zip code. Plumbing in Charlotte is rarely ‘one size fits all.’ One neighborhood’s houses could be entirely different from another’s. For example, older homes in neighborhoods like NoDa, Elizabeth, and Enderly Park often have plumbing systems that haven’t been updated since they were built.
Our licensed plumbers handle everything from drain cleaning and plumbing repairs to full repiping, water heater repair, and replacement, including tankless systems for homeowners who want on-demand hot water without a storage tank.
We also provide sewer line repair and replacement, leak detection, sump pump installation, water treatment, gas line service, and backflow testing. If you’ve noticed slow drains throughout the house, low water pressure, discolored water, or a water bill that’s crept up without explanation, those are worth a call.
Charlotte’s rapid growth has put its electrical infrastructure into the spotlight. Whether you’re living in a 1960s ranch in Starmount or a mid-century classic in Cotswold, your home likely wasn’t built with modern electrical loads in mind.
Our licensed electricians handle electrical panel repair and upgrades, EV charger installation, generator installation and repair, surge protection, lighting installation, and general electrical repair and installation throughout the city.
A standby generator is quickly becoming a Charlotte essential. Severe weather (we remember Winter Storm Elliott) and Duke Energy outages are a real concern for families who depend on any medical equipment, work from home, or simply can’t afford a week without power. We install and service Generac standby generators for both partial-home and whole-home coverage and can help you size the right unit.
