Birmingham / AC repair
For Birmingham AC repair, say whether the problem affects the upper floor, the lower floor or all rooms. Note which thermostat controls that area. If one system serves both floors, describe the temperature difference you notice. Ask for the diagnosis and repair estimate in writing.

Birmingham homes on sloped lots often have split levels or a basement floor. Note which level is uncomfortable, its temperature compared with the rest of the home and when the difference appeared. NWS Birmingham climate records give context, not a diagnosis. If the difference between floors is new, note any recent changes such as new windows, a finished attic or closed vents.
If each floor has its own system, identify which thermostat controls the problem area and whether the other system still cools normally. If one system serves both floors, describe the difference you notice. That helps the technician distinguish an equipment fault from an airflow issue.
Ask for the diagnosed cause, the proposed repair and the price in writing before work begins. Research the business through the Alabama HACR Board. If replacement is suggested, ask why repair is not recommended.
