About Canella Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.

Dedicated to Helping You

When the Canella brothers first began serving Hickory and the surrounding area in 1990, they saw slow growth until they became fully committed to new principles of customer service that you can always depend on:

• Offering a wider range of HVAC services to provide convenience and peace of mind.
• Sticking around as long as needed to get the job done to your satisfaction.
• Providing free estimates to best assess your needs (and to get to know you!).
• Granting 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on repairs and maintenance, for up to a year after service.
• Assigning a technician to your home to ensure that your comfort and efficiency needs are being met.
• Helping our customers save money with industry-leading promotional strategies.
• Ensuring next-day equipment installation on select brands in the spring and fall, and next-week installation in the peak summer and winter months.

Air conditioning, heating, and indoor air quality are the things we happen to be best at, but we’ll always find a way to help. Even if we can’t help, we’ll find someone who can.

Canella Heating & Air Conditioning is now an Ace Hardware Company!

Canella Heating and Air is now an Ace Hardware company! Ace Hardware acquired Canella along with a growing roster of service companies throughout the US. It’s all part of an effort to serve more homeowners who are seeking to have projects completed for them by trained professionals from the Helpful brand they trust.  

This is a significant milestone for our team. The alignment of values, purpose and vision between Canella and Ace Hardware is truly remarkable. Joining forces will allow us to create an even better experience of our customers in the Unifour Area.

Supporting nearly 5000 neighborhood stores across the country, Ace Hardware is a company dedicated to helpful service in local communities. Much like Canella, Ace Hardware believes in delivering an amazing experience to every customer, every time. Ace Hardware stores are locally owned and operated, with the goal to be helpful in the aisle and now in the home.

Together with Ace, we will continue to deliver the exceptional service and quality you expect, now with the resources of the Helpful brand you trust.

We are excited to grow Canella together with Ace to continue to support the local community for years to come.

Humanitarian Efforts

To this day, Craig and Curtis remain strong believers in the idea that great services should always start with the community.

You can always rest assured that our hearts are in the right place.
