AC & HVAC Repair and Installation in Auburn, AL

How an AC Repair Call Works

No guesswork and no surprise bill. Here's what happens after you call +1 (327) 210-5999:

• We ask what the system is doing, its brand and rough age, and whether you see ice, water or smell burning. That tells us what to bring.
• A licensed technician tests the electrical parts, refrigerant pressures, airflow, drain and thermostat.
• You get the diagnosis in plain English and a written price before any work starts.
• If a repair makes sense, we make it, often with parts from the truck. If it doesn't, we explain why and walk you through your options.
• Before we leave, we run the system and confirm it's cooling and draining properly.

The Repairs We Make Most on Auburn Cooling Systems

Long, humid summers wear on the same parts year after year. Most of our air conditioning repair visits in Auburn end with one of the fixes below.

In two-story homes, we often find the upstairs running several degrees warmer than the downstairs. That's usually a duct and return-air problem, not a bad air conditioner, and it's worth fixing before anyone sells you a bigger unit.

• A failed capacitor or contactor at the outdoor unit.
• A drain line clogged with algae that trips the float switch or spills water from the pan.
• A refrigerant leak at the evaporator coil, located with a leak test instead of simply topped off.
• A weak or failed blower motor in the air handler.
• Loose or corroded thermostat and low-voltage wiring.
• Disconnected or crushed ductwork in the attic, dumping cooled air where nobody lives.

Rentals and Student Housing: Notes for Owners and Tenants

Much of Auburn's rental market is built around Auburn University students, from purpose-built student complexes to houses and duplexes leased by the bedroom. Rentals are hard on HVAC systems. Filters get forgotten, thermostats get set very low, and nobody notices a drain backup until there's a stain on the ceiling.

If you're a tenant, report a cooling problem to your landlord or property manager first, since they usually decide who makes the repair. If you're an owner, we'll coordinate access with your tenant and send the diagnosis and price to you before any work starts.

Owners can head off the most common rental calls by changing filters on a schedule, clearing drain lines before summer, and booking a tune-up when a unit turns over between leases. Our maintenance plan can handle those seasonal visits.

When to Replace Instead of Repair

We'll give you a straight answer on whether your system is worth another repair. Replacement usually makes sense when the compressor fails on an older system, when an R-22 unit develops a leak, or when repairs keep piling up. Our guide on AC repair vs. replacement goes deeper.

A new system should fix the problems the old one had, not repeat them. We size every AC installation with a Manual J load calculation. For larger and two-story homes, that may mean two systems or a zoned system so the upstairs isn't fighting the downstairs. We also check the ductwork and return air before choosing equipment.

For a full change-out of an existing system, see AC replacement. Financing is available on larger projects through our financing options.

Questions to Ask Any HVAC Company in Auburn

Auburn has plenty of HVAC companies. Whoever you call, these questions are worth asking, and we're glad to answer all of them. Our guide on how to choose an HVAC contractor covers more.

• Is the company licensed in Alabama? Ask for the license number and check it.
• Will you get a written price before work starts, or a bill afterward?
• Does the technician find the refrigerant leak, or just add refrigerant?
• On a new system, is the size based on a load calculation or a rule of thumb?
• Does the company service all brands, or only the one it sells?
