Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check before calling for AC repair in Mobile County?
Before calling for repairs, check that your thermostat is set to “cool” and the temperature is lower than the current room temperature. Make sure your air filter is clean and all supply and return vents are open and unobstructed. Inspect the outdoor condenser for debris or blockages. If your system still isn’t cooling, it could be a refrigerant issue, electrical problem, or mechanical failure. Calling a professional ensures a thorough diagnosis and safe, effective repair.
Why is my AC running but not cooling the house?
If your AC is running but not cooling, several factors could be at play. Low refrigerant, dirty coils, a faulty compressor, or a malfunctioning thermostat can all cause this issue. Sometimes, a clogged air filter or blocked condenser can restrict airflow and reduce cooling capacity. Our technicians will check refrigerant levels, test system pressures, clean coils, and inspect all components to identify the root cause and restore your system’s performance.
How do you handle AC systems that frequently trip the circuit breaker?
Frequent breaker trips can indicate electrical issues such as a short circuit, overloaded circuit, or failing compressor. We inspect all wiring, capacitors, and relays for damage or wear. If the compressor is drawing too much current, it may need repair or replacement. We also check for dirty coils or blocked airflow, which can cause the system to overheat and trip the breaker. Our goal is to find the underlying issue and provide a lasting solution.
Can you help with indoor air quality issues related to my AC?
Absolutely. Poor indoor air quality can result from dirty filters, clogged coils, or mold in the system. We offer filter upgrades, coil cleaning, and drain line treatments to reduce dust, pollen, and allergens. If humidity is a concern, we can recommend dehumidifiers or advanced filtration systems. Regular maintenance and targeted upgrades can greatly improve the air you breathe and the overall comfort of your home.
When should I consider replacing my AC system instead of repairing it?
If your AC is over 12–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or struggles to keep your home comfortable, replacement may be more cost-effective. Newer systems are more energy efficient, offer better humidity control, and come with advanced features like variable speed technology. Our team can assess your current system, discuss your comfort needs, and provide options for a new AC that will save you money and improve your home’s comfort for years to come.
