Leicester is a growing community in western Buncombe County, just minutes from downtown Asheville along NC-63.

Our proximity means fast response times and same-day service availability throughout the Leicester area.
Heating in Leicester comes with unique demands. At 2,100 feet elevation, winters are moderate but still require a reliable heating system. Leicester's rural character means many homes are on larger properties with longer utility runs and well/septic systems. The Sandy Mush valley's agricultural setting produces heavy pollen counts in spring and fall that can clog HVAC filters in days rather than weeks. Some remote Leicester properties have limited electrical capacity, requiring careful system selection to avoid overloading existing panels. Our heating technicians factor in these Leicester-specific conditions for every repair and installation.
Heat pumps have unique components that require technicians specifically trained to service them. Unlike a straight air conditioner or furnace, a heat pump operates year-round in both heating and cooling modes, putting more demands on the equipment. Quality Comfort's NATE-certified technicians understand the intricacies of heat pump operation — from refrigerant system diagnostics and reversing valve failures to defrost cycle issues and compressor problems. We service all types of heat pumps including split-system air-source, packaged units, ductless mini-splits, and dual-fuel systems. Common heat pump repairs we handle include low refrigerant, faulty capacitors, reversing valve replacement, coil cleaning and repair, defrost board replacement, and motor failures. We carry a full complement of parts on our service trucks to complete most heat pump repairs on the first visit.

Seasonal Tip for Leicester Homeowners
Leicester's rural valleys can be 5–8°F colder than Asheville on clear winter nights due to cold air drainage. If you notice your heat pump ice cycling more frequently than expected, it may be sized correctly but fighting colder ambient temperatures than the design spec assumed — a supplemental heat strip can bridge the gap.
