The Montgomery36117 calls we answer most often
If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.
Heat pump stuck blowing cold air in heating mode
Refrigerant leak at a flare or coil connection
Yellow or orange burner flame instead of steady blue
Squealing or grinding from the blower assembly
Musty or burnt smell the first time the system runs
Pilot light or hot surface igniter failing repeatedly
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.
Because Alabama swings between seasons quickly, a lot of our Montgomery calls come in the first hot or cold snap of the year — systems that sat idle for months and then get asked to run flat out.
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.

Montgomery36117 HVAC questions, answered
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in Alabama is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
What does a new system cost in Montgomery?
A complete residential replacement in the 36117 area generally lands between $6,000 and $13,000 installed, depending on capacity, efficiency rating and how much ductwork has to be modified. We always perform a Manual J load calculation first, because an oversized unit costs more to buy and runs worse than a correctly sized one.
How often should I change my filter in 36117?
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.
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.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 36117?
A diagnostic visit in Montgomery typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Montgomery is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
