The story behind Alabama Preferred Heating & Cooling
and owner Zack Norris.
The Story
A Career That Became A Calling.
At 19 years old, Zack Norris was working two jobs and was not sure where his future was headed. An opportunity with an HVAC company changed that.
Zack spent the next decade learning the trade through hands on work, training and real world experience. What began as a job became something he took seriously and eventually wanted to build a business around.
In 2021, after roughly ten years in the HVAC industry, Zack founded Alabama Preferred Heating & Cooling. Starting a company from scratch came with plenty of uncertainty, but Zack leaned on his family, his work ethic and the reputation he had built through years of serving customers.
The goal was never simply to sell equipment. The goal was to build relationships, earn trust and give people information they could actually use.
Word of his work began to spread. Today Alabama Preferred is more than one person. Zack has built a team around the same expectations of honesty, communication, hard work and respect for the people who invite them into their homes.

Homeowners should understand what is happening with their heating and cooling system before making an expensive decision. That approach remains at the center of Alabama Preferred.
02
Clear Communication
Zack and his team believe customers should understand what their system is doing, what their options are and what comes next.
03
Personal Attention
Alabama Preferred is still a local company where reputation matters. Every service call represents Zack, his employees and the company they are building.
Family And Community
Building A Business That Means Something.
Zack and his wife are raising four boys here in Alabama. That family connection plays a large role in the kind of company Alabama Preferred is becoming.
For Zack, customers are not account numbers. They are families trying to keep their homes comfortable, often while dealing with an unexpected repair or a major equipment decision.
The company has grown to include employees who carry that responsibility into customers' homes every day. The expectation is simple. Be professional, be honest and treat people with respect.

You should never feel like you need an HVAC degree just to understand what is happening in your own home.
