Services

Most people who land here know one thing for sure: the house is too hot, too cold or too damp, and they are not sure what to call the fix. The cards below list each kind of work we do, with a short plain description and a link to the full page. Repair work is most of what we do, because a West Alabama system that quits in July or January usually needs a part and a diagnosis, not a sales pitch. New installs, seasonal tune-ups and light commercial rooftop and split units round out the list. Home and business buildings only; we do not work on vehicles.

Which service do I need?

Start with what the system is doing. Warm air from the vents with the outdoor fan still spinning points one direction; an outdoor unit that hums and never starts points another. Ice on the copper line by the condenser, water pooling around the indoor unit, a breaker that trips every afternoon, a thermostat that reads right but the house never catches up: each of those is a different repair, and the cards below are grouped the way the calls actually come in.

A lot of the no-cool calls we get land in the first hot week of May. Spring pollen from March into May packs the outdoor coil and the filter, and a system that limped along all winter finally gives out once it has to run hard. If that sounds like your house, the repair page is the right card, and a clean coil is often part of the fix. If the system runs but you want it checked before the heat sets in, the page on what a spring tune-up covers here explains what gets cleaned and measured.

Not sure which card fits? Describe the symptom in the form. We read it, tell you what it sounds like, and say plainly whether it needs a visit at all.

Heat pump or furnace?

This one confuses people more than anything else on the page. Most homes in Tuscaloosa County heat with a heat pump, because the winters are mild and most nights stay above freezing, so the same outdoor unit cools in summer and runs in reverse to heat in winter. That also means a failed heat pump leaves you with no heat and no AC at the same time. If your outdoor unit runs in January, you almost certainly have one, and the heat pump side of the shop is where to look.

Gas furnaces show up in older homes, in some newer two-story builds, and as backup heat paired with a heat pump. If you have a furnace in a closet, attic or crawlspace and a separate outdoor unit that only runs in summer, you have a split system with a furnace, and the furnace card is your page. Not sure which you own? Tell us the brand and age off the outdoor unit's label in the form and we can usually sort it out from that.

Ask for a price

Pick the closest card or skip straight to the form. Every repair is quoted in writing after the diagnosis and before any part is ordered, and if a repair costs close to what a new system would, we say so. Tell us what the system is doing, roughly how old it is, and the town, and the reply comes back with what we think is wrong and what happens next.
