Air Conditioning
When summer settles into the Outer Banks, your air conditioner puts in a lot of work. Around here, the cooling season can stretch from April well into October, so having an AC system you can count on makes a big difference. At R.A. Hoy, we help homeowners across the Outer Banks stay comfortable with reliable AC repair, installation, and maintenance. Whether you have central air, a ductless mini-split, or you’re thinking about replacing an older system, our team can help you figure out what makes the most sense for your home. If your AC is running nonstop, some rooms never seem to cool down, or the system just isn’t keeping up like it used to, schedule a visit. We’ll take a look, explain what’s going on, and help get your home comfortable again.

Air Conditioning Installation
Choosing a new AC system isn’t just about picking a unit and installing it. It needs to be the right fit for your home. Our team looks at things like your home’s size, insulation, layout, and sun exposure to help determine the right system for your space. That’s especially important here in the Outer Banks, where an undersized system can spend all summer running without ever quite catching up. We’ll walk you through your options and help you choose a system that keeps your home comfortable without working harder than it needs to.
AC Inspection & Repair
Sometimes your AC gives you a warning before it stops working altogether. Other times, it seems to quit on the hottest day of the year. Either way, we’re here to help. Our technicians can diagnose common AC problems like refrigerant leaks, dirty coils, failing capacitors, and other issues that can affect your system’s performance. We’ll explain what we find and what it’ll take to fix it before we get started.
Service You Can Feel Good About
Nobody likes being surprised by an HVAC repair bill. That’s why we believe in keeping things simple and straightforward. We’ll explain what’s happening with your system, answer your questions, and talk through your options before any work begins. That way, you know what to expect and can make the right decision for your home.

FAQs
What are the signs my air conditioner needs repair instead of just a filter change?
If you’ve changed the filter and something still doesn’t seem right, there may be more going on. Warm air from the vents, water around the indoor unit, ice on the refrigerant lines, strange grinding or squealing noises, or an AC that runs constantly without actually cooling your home are all good reasons to have someone take a look.
How can I extend the life of my air conditioner in a coastal climate?
A little maintenance goes a long way, especially here on the coast. Salt air can be tough on outdoor coils and electrical components, so keeping your outdoor unit clear of vegetation and debris is a great place to start. Changing your filters regularly and scheduling an annual tune-up can also help your system run better and last longer.
How often should I schedule AC maintenance in the Outer Banks?
We recommend scheduling a tune-up every spring before the hottest weather arrives. Since AC systems in the Outer Banks can run for six months or more, that spring visit helps make sure everything is ready for the season ahead. If you live especially close to the water, a mid-summer check can also be worthwhile because of the additional exposure to salt air.

I contacted R.A. Hoy to service the air conditioning at our rental home in Corolla. They were VERY quick to respond and it saved us from our renters being miserable. Pricing was very fair and they were very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this company. They have been around for what seems like forever and my experience proves to me why they have been in business for so long.

We called in the morning and a technician came that afternoon. He was able to quickly determine the problems with each unit and fix them both along with making sure they were in condition for the summer heat to come. We can’t thank you guys enough for helping.
