The company also launched a series of free community workshops on topics such as “Maximizing Your AC Efficiency” and “Signs Your HVAC System Needs Attention.” These events not only positioned Stegall as a thought leader but also helped build trust with potential customers.

To support their new 24/7 emergency services, Stegall invested in a state-of-the-art dispatch system and additional service vehicles. This allowed them to respond to urgent AC repair calls across Birmingham and surrounding areas promptly.
