Hansen Air Pros | Top-Rated HVAC Repair in Mobile, AL

Yes, capacitor failure is a very common reason for AC units to stop cooling, especially during our hot, humid Mobile summers. The capacitor helps start the compressor and fan motors. When it fails, your system can't start properly. Hansen Air Pros can quickly diagnose and replace a faulty capacitor to restore your cooling, often on the same day you call.

In Mobile's climate, with pollen, humidity, and seasonal changes, we recommend checking your standard 1-inch air filter every month and changing it at least every 90 days. If you have pets or allergies, consider changing it monthly. A clogged filter restricts airflow, making your system work harder, increasing energy bills, and potentially causing other components to fail. We're happy to show you how during a routine maintenance visit.

Key signs include weak airflow from vents, your system running constantly but not reaching the set temperature, unusual spikes in your energy bill, and ice forming on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil. Often, a clogged filter is the culprit, but it could also be blocked ductwork or a failing blower motor. Hansen Air Pros can perform a full system check to pinpoint and resolve the airflow issue efficiently.
