HVAC FAQ

To be clear: We, as in Climate Masters, Inc., are not air conditioning manufacturers at all. We are HVAC technicians, HVAC installers, and HVAC contractors headquartered in Spanish Fort, Alabama, and serving Mobile County and Baldwin County. Remember, we service, perform maintenance on, and install HVAC equipment, but we do not manufacture HVAC equipment.

That said, there is a manufacturer in Oklahoma City, OK named “ClimateMasters” - aside from our similar names, we are in no way affiliated with that company. Although we very likely can repair your ClimateMaster air conditioner or furnace, we are Carrier’s oldest factory-authorized Carrier dealer in Baldwin County.

No, we are not. We are a family-owned and operated HVAC contractor serving South Alabama and are in no way related to Climate Masters Inc in Mississippi.

This is a broad question, and its cost, of course, varies according to what’s wrong with the air conditioning unit, the number of air conditioning units (usually dependent on the size of the house), and whether this repair is an emergency repair. Something as simple as a blown capacitor can be very inexpensive, especially if we have one on the truck already. However, replacing that same capacitor at 9pm on a Saturday can be very expensive. Plus, while you may be addressing the immediate problem, there may be an underlying problem that will require multiple visits unless it is properly addressed.

That’s why we recommend signing up for a bi-annual maintenance program (we call ours RESA - the Residential Energy Savings Agreement). You’ll get access to a 24/7 emergency repair technician. Discounts on parts and labor, and much more. Check our AC Maintenance page to learn more.

Most air conditioning systems last between 10 to 20 years, depending on whether it is appropriately sized for your space, whether it’s been properly maintained over the course of its lifetime, and how much it’s been used.

That said, HVAC systems may last much longer than that. However, without proper maintenance, you will see your heating and cooling system’s energy efficiency and cooling power drop precipitously.
