This week we got a call from a homeowner in Vestavia Hills who was certain her AC was on its way out because it hadnât shut off in two days straight.
We went out expecting to find a dying system. Instead, we found a unit doing exactly what itâs 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 itâs designed to when itâs this hot outside.
We couldâve upsold something. We didnât. Told her what we found, why itâs 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 itâs the only kind we give. And $0 charge for things she didnât need.
Give us a call if youâre not sure which one youâre dealing with - weâll be glad to help you out. 205-584-0813
