Degree Above Heating & AC Repair

Degree Above Heating and AC Repair has earned a perfect 5.0-star rating across 111 reviews in Raleigh, North Carolina. Founded by Shawn, the company operates as a family-owned contractor serving Wake County and surrounding communities including Durham and Cary. The team holds proper licensing for HVAC work in North Carolina and provides a 2-year labor warranty on all installations, double the industry standard. Their availability spans seven days from 8 AM to 8 PM, ensuring residents have access to climate control support when Triangle summers peak or winter temperatures drop.

What distinguishes Degree Above is Shawn's commitment to transparency and customer education. Rather than pushing immediate replacements, he opens equipment to show homeowners exactly what needs repair versus the cost of a new system. The company handles Dual-Fuel unit installations and serves clients across state lines, including projects in Virginia. Reviewers consistently note Shawn explains pros and cons of each system option, regardless of complexity, and stands behind his work with follow-through that exceeds typical contractor service.

Shawn solved a heating problem that multiple previous companies could not diagnose for reviewer Deja K, earning recognition for technical skill that competitors lacked. When customer Zachary Moore needed a Dual-Fuel unit in Virginia, an eight-hour round trip, Shawn traveled the same day to provide the quote with no guarantee the equipment would arrive. He offered to complete the install the same evening if possible and refused to charge for the trip if the unit was unavailable. His on-time arrivals during scheduled windows and proactive communication distinguish every job, whether replacement or repair.
