[04 / WHY BIRMINGHAM IS DIFFERENT]

What Alabama climate does to your system.

HEAVY HUMIDITY

Birmingham sits in a humid-subtropical basin. Condensate drain lines clog faster here than almost anywhere else in the country. Expect a service call every couple of summers if the line isn't flushed.

RED CLAY SOIL

Alabama's red clay expands and contracts with moisture. Ductwork connections under the house pull apart at the joint, leaking conditioned air into the crawlspace instead of the room above.

POLLEN + DUST

Spring pollen coats outdoor condenser coils and chokes airflow for months. An unwashed coil means your compressor works harder and wears faster. Filter change frequency matters here.

THUNDERSTORMS

Near-daily summer storms send voltage spikes into outdoor condensers. Capacitors and contactors fail first. We carry common values on every truck.
