Harrison Heating and Air Conditioning - Bessemer's Professional HVAC Services

In Bessemer's humid climate, we recommend having your evaporator coils professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year, ideally during your spring maintenance tune-up. Dust, pollen, and humidity can cause coils to become dirty quickly, forcing your system to work harder, increasing energy bills, and risking premature failure. Regular cleaning by our technicians restores efficiency and extends the life of your AC unit.

Common signs your AC capacitor is failing include the outdoor unit humming but not starting, frequent system cycling on and off, or warm air blowing from vents. In older Bessemer homes, you might also notice a burning smell near the outdoor unit. If you experience any of these, it's best to call us immediately. A failing capacitor puts extra strain on the compressor and can lead to a much more costly repair if not addressed promptly.

Absolutely. Our comprehensive seasonal maintenance is the best defense against problems like dirty coils and capacitor failure. During a visit, we clean critical components, check electrical connections, test capacitors for proper microfarad ratings, and ensure your system is running at peak efficiency. This proactive care helps catch small issues before they become major breakdowns, saving you money and ensuring reliable comfort year-round.
