HVAC Repair Pelham AL | Call Five Star Heating & Cooling

If your AC is blowing warm air, a refrigerant leak is a common culprit, especially during our long, hot Alabama summers. Refrigerant is the substance that absorbs heat from your home, and a leak reduces the system's cooling capacity. Our technicians use specialized tools to precisely locate and repair the leak, then recharge the system to the manufacturer's exact specification. This restores cooling power and efficiency, which is crucial for managing energy bills in our climate.

Yes, that humming sound without the fan and compressor starting is a classic sign of a failed capacitor. The capacitor provides the necessary jolt of electricity to start these motors. In Pelham's heat, capacitors work hard and can wear out. This is a common repair we perform. Replacing a faulty capacitor is often a quick fix that gets your system running again, preventing a complete breakdown on a sweltering day.

Regular, professional maintenance is the best defense against the most frequent AC problems we see in Pelham. During a tune-up, our technicians will check capacitor health for signs of wear, inspect refrigerant lines and coils for potential leaks, clean components for optimal airflow, and ensure the entire system is running efficiently. This proactive care helps catch small issues before they lead to a costly repair or a complete system failure during peak summer heat.
