About OnTime Service

Professional HVAC Services Since 1975

Hi, I’m Kerry Adkins, the president of OnTime Service. Thank you for your interest in our company. If I may, I’ll tell you a little more about OnTime Service and about how we work to serve our customers.

My father, George Adkins, began the business in 1975. Eight years later, I joined him as an apprentice electrician. For almost four decades, we focused primarily on residential electrical service, repair and construction. In 2014, we began a heating and cooling division. In November 2016, we starting offering plumbing services to our customers. We have worked in thousands of homes and hundreds of commercial projects in Alabama.

To better reflect our commitment to arriving at a customer’s home or business on time, we changed the company name to OnTime Service. We back up that commitment with this promise: We show up on time or we pay you $59!

We are very picky about the heating and cooling technicians, electricians and plumbers we hire. We conduct extensive background checks on prospective employees and we perform random drug tests. We insist that our employees are professional, neat and clean, that they have no visible tattoos or piercings and that they are non smokers. If an OnTime Service employee ever smokes, swears or leaves a mess in your home, our service will be free.

These organizations provide outstanding training and best-practice systems to help us provide outstanding service to our customers. Our team members have received numerous awards and recognition from these organizations for their performance.

We love to support local charities. If you are aware of a worthy and effective local charity please contact us with their information. We host representatives from charities periodically to educate our team about their work and then we decide as a team which charity we will support. We really enjoy hearing firsthand about the great work some of these organizations are doing in our community.

My wife, Carol, and I are Christians and are actively involved in our local church, so our business is based on Christian principles and ethics. We are honest and upfront with everything we do. That is why we quote all jobs before we start and offer a 100 percent satisfaction guaranty. We are not perfect but we make every effort to take responsibility for our mistakes and correct them. I believe it is possible to operate our business in a way that creates a win, win, win situation. That is, our client wins by receiving outstanding service and value, our team member wins by earning a good wage and having a positive, supportive work environment and our company wins by earning a reasonable profit for our effort which allows us to grow and provide more opportunities.

Carol and I are blessed to have a team of professionals who work with us. And we are humbled by the thousands of homeowners who have entrusted us to take care of their heating, cooling, electrical and plumbing needs. Call either our Birmingham or Eastern Shores office and talk to us today for your next Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling job.
