Air Conditioning in Alabama: what's different
Air Conditioning across Alabama depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 2–3). In hot-humid climates the air conditioner removes moisture as well as heat, so refrigerant charge, airflow and a clear condensate drain matter as much as raw capacity. Oversized systems short-cycle and leave rooms clammy.
In Alabama specifically: humidity and mold. High dew points cause sweating ducts, mold on supply registers and musty crawl spaces when systems short-cycle or ducts leak. Clogged condensate drains: Air conditioners remove a lot of water in Alabama summers, and algae-clogged drains are a frequent cause of shutdowns and ceiling leaks.
Alabama licenses HVAC contractors through the Alabama Board of Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractors. You can verify a certification on the Board's website before work starts. Common systems in Alabama: Heat pumps, Gas furnace + central AC, Crawl space and attic ductwork, Dehumidifiers.
Alabama Power serves most of the state, with TVA-supplied municipal utilities and cooperatives in the north. Spire Alabama and municipal systems supply natural gas in many cities.

FAQ
Air Conditioning questions in Alabama
Can I get air conditioning service anywhere in Alabama?+
Our contractor network covers many Alabama ZIP codes. Call with your ZIP code and we will tell you whether a licensed contractor serves your address.
Is a heat pump a good choice in Alabama?+
Usually yes. Alabama's mild winters suit heat pumps well, and a modern unit handles both cooling and most heating. Homes in the northern hills sometimes add gas backup for the coldest nights.
Why does my Alabama home feel humid even with the AC running?+
The system may be oversized, the fan may run continuously, or ducts may be leaking humid attic or crawl space air. A tech can check airflow, refrigerant charge and duct leakage.
How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?+
Age, refrigerant type and the failed part decide it. A newer system with a bad capacitor or fan motor is a repair. An older R-22 system with a failed compressor or leaking coil is usually a replacement.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?+
Common causes are a dirty filter or coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed outdoor fan or capacitor, or a frozen indoor coil. Turn the system off if you see ice and call for a diagnosis.
