Browns Heating & Cooling | Licensed HVAC Services in Cottonwood, AL

Short cycling is a common issue here, often caused by an oversized unit, a faulty thermostat, or a dirty air filter. It stresses your system and increases energy costs. Our technicians will perform a comprehensive diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause. We'll clean or replace filters, calibrate or replace thermostats, and assess your system's sizing. Our goal is to restore normal operation to protect your equipment and lower your utility bills.

Refrigerant leaks reduce cooling power and can damage your compressor. We use electronic leak detectors and ultraviolet dye tests to accurately locate even small leaks in your system. Once found, our EPA-certified technicians repair the leak, perform a vacuum test to ensure the system is sealed, and then recharge it with the precise amount of refrigerant specified by the manufacturer. This restores efficiency and cooling performance to protect your investment.

Preventive maintenance is key to avoiding issues like short cycling and leaks. We recommend scheduling a professional tune-up twice a year—in spring for your AC and fall for your heating system. During a visit, we'll clean critical components, check refrigerant levels and pressures, inspect electrical connections, and ensure your thermostat is functioning correctly. This proactive care from Browns Heating & Cooling helps catch small problems early, extends your system's life, and maintains optimal efficiency for our local climate.
