HVAC Services Birmingham AL | Call Ethridge Heating and Air

Common signs of a refrigerant leak in our humid climate include your AC running constantly but not cooling effectively or ice forming on the coils. Short-cycling, where the system turns on and off frequently, often points to an oversized unit, a faulty thermostat, or airflow issues. Both problems waste energy and strain your system. Our technicians perform detailed diagnostics to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a leak we can seal or an electrical issue—and provide a clear repair plan to restore efficient operation.

As an independent Trane Comfort Specialist dealer since 2002, we trust Trane products for their durability and energy efficiency, which is important given Alabama's hot summers and variable winters. Trane systems are built to handle our specific climate demands. We provide expert installation to ensure your new system operates at peak efficiency, which can help manage utility costs. Our long-standing partnership with Trane means we offer comprehensive product knowledge and support for every system we install.

Scheduled maintenance is key to system longevity and performance in our region. Our preventative service includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, and ensuring proper airflow. This proactive care helps prevent major breakdowns during peak summer heat or winter cold, maintains energy efficiency to control bills, and supports better indoor air quality by keeping the system clean. For over 22 years, we've found that well-maintained systems require fewer repairs and last longer.
