Trusted Plumbing & HVAC in Gardendale, AL
Gardendale sits just up US-31 from our shop, a settled family suburb where well-kept ranch homes from the 1960s and 70s share streets with newer builds. Each brings its own needs. Those older systems often reach the age where a repair or full replacement comes into play.
The family behind Hemphill Services has run the business since 1954, handling plumbing and HVAC for Gardendale homes. One company covers both trades under a single number, and someone stays on call around the clock for the problems that hit overnight.

Gardendale Plumbing & HVAC Questions We Hear Often
What Gardendale homeowners ask us most, answered clearly.
An AC that’s oversized cools the air fast but shuts off before it pulls out enough moisture, which leaves the house damp. Leaky ducts and high outdoor humidity add to it. A whole-home dehumidifier, sealed ductwork, or a right-sized system can fix the clammy feeling.
Yes. We install heat pumps for Gardendale homes, including ductless mini-split systems for spaces that are hard to heat and cool. A heat pump handles both heating and cooling from one unit, which suits our mild Alabama winters well. We’ll size and recommend one based on your home.
For a busy household running several showers, a dishwasher, and laundry, a 50-gallon tank is a common starting point, with 75-gallon units for larger homes. A tankless system is another route, since it heats on demand and won’t run out during back-to-back showers. We’ll match the size to how your family actually uses hot water.
Heat rises, so a two-story Gardendale home often runs warm upstairs while the downstairs stays comfortable. Common fixes include balancing the ductwork, adding return air, sealing leaks, or zoning the system so each floor is controlled independently. A technician can pinpoint the cause and suggest the right step.
Most residential HVAC installs wrap up in one day, usually four to eight hours, depending on the system and the home. Swapping out both a furnace and an AC, or reworking ductwork, can stretch into a second day. We’ll give you a clear time estimate before the work starts.
A dead AC in summer heat or a cold shower at dawn shouldn’t wreck your day. Hemphill has looked after Gardendale homes since 1954, and we’re ready to help with yours. Call now.
