Outdoor condenser humming but the fan not turning

Refrigerant leak at a flare or coil connection

Heating and air conditioning service built around Birmingham
Nobody in Birmingham wants to spend a day waiting on a technician with a four-hour window. We quote a 90-120 minutes target response time for this ZIP and hold crews locally so that number is realistic.
Around Birmingham, condensate drainage is a recurring fault. Blocked drains and failed float switches cause more water damage claims here than actual refrigerant failures do.
We recommend two maintenance visits a year in Alabama: one before May through September and one before December through February. It is the single highest-return thing a homeowner can do for equipment life.

Birmingham35222 HVAC questions, answered
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Birmingham see most often — but a firm price needs eyes on the equipment. Any company that quotes a final number without seeing the unit is usually quoting low to get through the door.
Is my carbon monoxide risk something I should worry about?
With any combustion appliance, yes. A cracked heat exchanger can spill carbon monoxide into the living space, and it is odourless. We perform combustion analysis and a CO test on every furnace and boiler call in Birmingham, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
How quickly can a technician get to Birmingham?
For the 35222 service area our target response time is 90-120 minutes from the moment dispatch confirms your address. Real-world timing depends on the day — the first sustained heat or cold snap of the season is always our busiest period — but we hold technicians locally specifically so that window is achievable rather than aspirational.
What brands do you service in Birmingham?
All of them. Our 35222 technicians are trained on Mitsubishi Electric, Bryant, Amana, Trane and essentially every other residential brand sold in Alabama, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Birmingham is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
