Air Conditioning FAQs
Living in hot, humid coastal environments like those along the Gulf Coast, air conditioning isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Here are a few of the most common questions we receive about air conditioning.
This is the most common emergency call we receive in Baldwin County, and it typically signals one of three major issues:
- Clogged Air Filter: A dirty filter blocks airflow, causing the system to struggle and the indoor coil to potentially freeze up.
- Refrigerant Leak: The refrigerant level is low, meaning the unit cannot absorb enough heat from your home. We use professional tools to locate and repair the leak, then recharge the system.
- Dirty Condenser Coil: If the outdoor unit is caked with dirt or debris (common with coastal salt air), it can't release heat efficiently. Our tune-ups include cleaning the coil to restore performance.
Action: If changing the filter doesn't solve the issue, call Comfort Services immediately for a professional diagnosis and 24/7 repair service.
We recommend a professional AC tune-up at least once per year, ideally in the early spring, before the heavy summer heat hits Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
Coastal environments, with their high humidity and corrosive salt air, put extra stress on HVAC components. Our maintenance plans ensure your unit's coils and drainage are flushed and cleaned, preventing breakdowns and maintaining your manufacturer's warranty.
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It measures an air conditioner's efficiency over an entire cooling season. A higher SEER rating means the unit uses less electricity to produce the same amount of cooling.
- In a hot climate like Orange Beach or Gulf Shores, AL, a high-efficiency unit (16 SEER or higher) is essential for keeping utility bills low during the long summer months.
- We can provide a detailed load calculation to ensure you install a new system with the correct size and SEER rating for maximum long-term savings.
Water leaking near your indoor unit is usually not refrigerant, but condensate. In our high-humidity environment, your AC pulls a large amount of moisture from the air. The most common cause of leaks is a clogged condensate drain line.
- Algae, sludge, or dust can block the drain, causing water to back up and overflow into your home.
- Our maintenance service includes flushing and clearing the drain line to prevent this issue. If the leak is severe, turn off the system and call us for emergency service.
If your AC unit is nearing the end of its typical lifespan (10–15 years in coastal areas) and is facing a costly repair (e.g., a bad compressor or evaporator coil), replacement is usually the wiser financial choice.
We recommend considering replacement if:
- The unit is over 10 years old.
- The cost of the repair exceeds 50% of the cost of a new system.
- Repairs are becoming more frequent.
We provide free, honest second opinions and transparent estimates on new high-efficiency AC and heat pump installations.
