This week we got a call from a homeowner in Vestavia Hills who was certain her AC was on its way out because it hadn’t shut off in two days straight.
We went out expecting to find a dying system. Instead, we found a unit doing exactly what it’s supposed to do during a week like this. It was running close to nonstop just to keep up with the heat, no more, no less. No refrigerant issue, no worn-out capacitor, nothing failing. Just a system working as hard as it’s designed to when it’s this hot outside.
We could’ve upsold something. We didn’t. Told her what we found, why it’s normal right now, and what would actually be a red flag if she sees it (short-cycling, ice on the lines, warm air blowing).
She got a straight answer because it’s the only kind we give. And $0 charge for things she didn’t need.
Give us a call if you’re not sure which one you’re dealing with - we’ll be glad to help you out. 205-584-0813
