Business Background

Self Heating & Air Conditioning is a trusted local HVAC company serving Birmingham, AL, and the surrounding communities. We specialize in expert installation, replacement, and repair of heating and cooling systems. Birmingham's humid climate often leads to common issues like dirty evaporator coils, which reduce efficiency and indoor air quality, and short-cycling systems that wear out components prematurely and spike energy bills. Our team is specifically trained to diagnose and resolve these local problems. From thorough coil cleanings and precise refrigerant charge adjustments to installing properly sized, high-efficiency units, we provide solutions that enhance comfort, improve system longevity, and lower operating costs for your home.

Common Questions

How can a new HVAC installation in Birmingham prevent short cycling?

Short cycling often happens when a system is too large for your Birmingham home. It cools too quickly without properly dehumidifying, then rapidly turns back on. Our expert installation process includes a detailed Manual J load calculation to ensure your new system is the perfect size. This prevents short cycling, improves humidity control, and saves you money on energy bills from day one.

Why are my evaporator coils getting dirty so fast, and how can repair help?

Birmingham's high pollen count and humidity can cause evaporator coils to clog with dust and mold quickly. Dirty coils force your system to work harder, reducing cooling and efficiency. Our repair service includes a professional deep cleaning of the coils and a full system check. We also inspect filters, ductwork, and airflow to address the root cause, restoring performance and preventing rapid re-soiling.

My AC unit is turning on and off constantly. Is this a repair or replacement issue?

Frequent short cycling can stem from several issues common in our area. It might be a simple repair like fixing a refrigerant leak, replacing a faulty sensor, or cleaning a clogged coil. However, if your unit is old and chronically oversized, replacement with a correctly sized system is the lasting solution. We'll diagnose the specific cause and provide a straightforward, honest recommendation for repair or replacement.
