Heating and air conditioning service built around Hillsboro
If your split-system central air with a gas furnace has started short cycling, blowing warm air or making a noise it never used to make, you are not alone — Hillsboro generates some of the highest call volume we handle in Alabama. Alabama summers stay hot and humid well into September, so condensers and evaporator coils run for months without a real break.
In the 35643 area we see a lot of attic-mounted air handlers. Attic heat soak in summer and cold-soak in winter both shorten component life and make insulation checks part of a proper diagnosis.
If your system is over ten years old and you have had two repairs in the last two seasons, a replacement comparison is usually worth running even if the current unit still runs.

Hillsboro35643 HVAC questions, answered
How often should I change my filter in 35643?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Hillsboro with pets, ongoing construction nearby, or a high-MERV filter in an undersized return should move to monthly changes. A loaded filter is the single most common cause of frozen coils and failed blower motors.
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.
Should I repair my system or replace it?
The usual rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a replacement and the equipment is over ten years old, replacement generally wins. We will run that comparison with you on site and show you the maths — and if the honest answer is a $180 capacitor rather than a $9,000 system, that is the answer you get.
Why is my furnace short cycling?
Short cycling in Hillsboro most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
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 Hillsboro, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Hillsboro is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
