Cape Fear Air, Electric, & Plumbing: Fayetteville's Trusted HVAC & Electrical Partner

Since 1973, Cape Fear Air, Electric, & Plumbing has operated as a cornerstone provider of climate control and electrical services for the Fayetteville, NC community. As the oldest Trane dealer in the city, this locally-owned company maintains deep operational roots, with dispatch centered in Fayetteville to serve both residential and commercial clients across the region. This long-standing presence has established the business as a reliable authority familiar with the specific needs of homes and businesses in Cumberland County and beyond.

Contextualized Services for Southeastern North Carolina

The company’s services are tailored to the demands of the local environment. For HVAC installation or replacement, technicians are familiar with the requirements of homes in historic Haymount, newer developments in Jack Britt, and the varied construction styles found from Fort Bragg to Hope Mills. This expertise is critical for handling the humid summers and occasional cold snaps typical of the Cape Fear region, which accelerate wear on systems. Electrical inspections are vital for older neighborhoods like those near the Cape Fear River, where updated service panels are often needed to meet modern safety standards.

Detailed Service Area Coverage

Cape Fear Air, Electric, & Plumbing provides comprehensive coverage across a wide area. The primary service zone includes specific Fayetteville neighborhoods such as Haymount, VanStory Hills, College Lakes, and areas surrounding Cross Creek Mall and the Medical District. The extended service area reaches surrounding communities including Spring Lake, Raeford, Lumberton, and Lillington. The team’s operational familiarity extends to the infrastructure nuances of military housing on Fort Bragg, older farmhouses in rural Cumberland County, and the growing suburban tracts in areas like Anderson Creek.

Company History and Local Roots

The business was founded in Fayetteville in 1973 by Bob Muncy, establishing itself during a period of significant growth for the city and Fort Bragg. A key milestone was the continuation of the business under local ownership in 1997, ensuring community-focused service remained a priority. Physical growth is evidenced by the expansion to a second office location, enhancing service capability for both the Fayetteville and Triangle regions. This longevity and consistent local operation have forged a strong reputation within the Fayetteville business community.
