Heating and air conditioning service built around Montgomery
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 — Montgomery 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 36113 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.
The busiest week of our year in Montgomery is the first stretch of sustained may weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

Montgomery36113 HVAC questions, answered
What causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In Montgomery we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during May through September. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
How often should I change my filter in 36113?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Montgomery 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.
Why is my furnace short cycling?
Short cycling in Montgomery 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.
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.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Montgomery we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
