R.A. Hoy installs, repairs, and maintains heating, cooling, plumbing, and indoor air quality equipment for homes and businesses in Kitty Hawk. Our same-day comfort guarantee stands behind our service, and our technicians explain what they find in plain language before any work begins.
Your Outer Banks experts since 1979, we have worked from the same Kitty Hawk location since the day we opened. Salt air near the ocean corrodes outdoor coils and cabinets faster than inland air, and humid summers keep systems running for long hours. Maintenance and equipment choices carry more weight here than on the mainland. We’re here to make sure your home stays comfortable through years of exposure to the elements.

Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Air Quality Services for Kitty Hawk Homes
Heating and Cooling Services in Kitty Hawk
We install, repair, and maintain heating and cooling equipment for Kitty Hawk homes and businesses. Each new system is sized to the house, and on homes near the ocean we factor salt air into the equipment recommendation.
Heat Pump and Furnace Repair in Kitty Hawk
A heat pump heats Kitty Hawk homes efficiently through mild coastal winters, and a furnace or a dual fuel system provides backup heat on the coldest nights. We repair both, and salt corrosion on the outdoor coil is a common cause of heat pump problems near the ocean.
Air Conditioning Repair and Installation in Kitty Hawk
An air conditioner on the Outer Banks removes humidity as well as heat through a long summer. We repair refrigerant leaks, failed motors, and corroded coils, and we install replacements sized to remove moisture without overcooling the house.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems in Kitty Hawk
A ductless mini-split brings heating and cooling to a room or an addition without ductwork, which suits a converted garage, a ground-level room under a raised house, or a space the central system does not reach.
HVAC Zoning in Kitty Hawk
Tall Outer Banks homes with three floors can run warm on top and cool on the bottom. HVAC zoning adds dampers and separate thermostats so each floor holds its own setting, which helps large rental homes keep every floor comfortable for guests.
Plumbing Services in Kitty Hawk
Our licensed plumbers handle plumbing repairs and installations for Kitty Hawk homes and rental properties, from dripping fixtures and running toilets to leaks inside walls. Rental homes need repairs finished between guests, and our plumbers work with property managers on scheduling.
Water Heater Repair and Replacement in Kitty Hawk
Our plumbers service water heaters, both tank models and tankless water heaters. A large rental home with several bathrooms can run a tank out of hot water when every guest showers in the morning. A tankless unit or a larger tank sized to that demand keeps up.
Water Filtration in Kitty Hawk
We install water filtration systems that improve taste and remove sediment and odors, either at a single tap or for the whole house.
Drain Cleaning and Pipe Repair in Kitty Hawk
We clear clogged kitchen, bathroom, and laundry drains with drain cleaning and repair leaking or damaged supply lines. Pipes under raised homes are exposed to wind and the occasional hard freeze, and we repair frozen and burst pipes when a cold snap catches one.
Indoor Air Quality Services in Kitty Hawk
We install and repair indoor air quality equipment, and an indoor air quality assessment identifies whether humidity, particles, or duct leaks are behind the problem in your home.
Air Duct Sealing and Repair in Kitty Hawk
Ductwork under a raised house or in a hot attic loses conditioned air at every loose joint. We seal, repair, and replace air ducts so the air you pay to cool reaches the rooms.
Dehumidifier Installation in Kitty Hawk
A whole-home dehumidifier controls ocean humidity year-round, including spring and fall days when the air conditioner runs too little to dry the house. It also keeps homes that sit closed up between rental weeks free of musty smells.

FAQs About HVAC, Plumbing & Indoor Air Quality in Kitty Hawk
How does salt air affect my heat pump or air conditioner?
Salt carried on ocean air settles on outdoor coils and cabinets and speeds up corrosion, which can lead to refrigerant leaks and damaged fins on equipment near the water. Rinsing the outdoor unit with fresh water and keeping up with maintenance visits slows the damage.
Can you service my rental home between guest stays?
Yes. Property managers and owners can schedule HVAC and plumbing service for the days between bookings, and maintenance visits can be planned for the off-season so systems are ready before summer rentals start.
What should I do with my HVAC system before a hurricane?
Take these steps before and after the storm:
- Turn the system off at the thermostat and at the breaker before the storm arrives.
- Secure or move loose items near the outdoor unit.
- After the storm, have a technician inspect any equipment that took on water before you turn it back on.
How often should I service HVAC equipment near the ocean?
Twice a year is a good baseline: before the cooling season in spring and before the heating season in fall. Equipment close to the ocean benefits from both visits because salt air speeds up wear between them.
Do you work on businesses as well as homes?
Yes. We install, repair, and maintain heating and cooling equipment for Kitty Hawk businesses along with homes through our commercial HVAC service.
What other areas near Kitty Hawk do you serve?
We also cover Southern Shores, Kill Devil Hills, and Duck, along with the rest of the Outer Banks from Corolla to Hatteras Island.
