Steele35987 HVAC questions, answered
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Steele 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.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
We do. A two-visit plan in Alabama covers a spring cooling inspection and an autumn heating inspection, priority scheduling during peak weeks, discounted repairs and no diagnostic fee. Members rarely end up on the emergency list.
How often should I change my filter in 35987?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Steele 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.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Steele is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
