Signs It’s Time for AC Repairs

Weak Airflow

If your vents are barely pushing air, it could mean a clogged filter or a failing compressor.

Strange Noises

Rattling, banging, or squealing sounds often indicate loose parts or internal damage.

Warm Air from Vents

When your AC blows warm air, it might be a refrigerant issue or a malfunctioning compressor.

Frequent Cycling

If your system turns on and off constantly, it could signal a problem with the thermostat or electrical components.

Rising Energy Bills

Unexplained spikes in energy costs may mean your AC is working harder than it should to cool your home.

Water Leaks

Pooling water near your unit might point to a blocked condensate drain or a refrigerant leak.

Foul Odors

Musty or burning smells from your AC system could indicate mold, mildew, or overheating parts.

Uneven Cooling

If some rooms are cool while others feel warm, it might be time to check your ducts or airflow settings.

System Won’t Start

A completely unresponsive AC system often points to electrical or mechanical issues that need immediate attention.

Hot Questions, Cool Answers—AC Repair FAQs

When your AC isn’t pulling its weight, you’re bound to have some questions. We’ve compiled a few common ones to help you navigate repairs and cooling concerns with confidence.

What is the average AC repair cost?

Simple fixes like replacing a thermostat or clearing a clogged drain are on the lower end, while more complex repairs can cost more. At Prantl Heating | Cooling, we provide transparent pricing and upfront estimates, so there are no surprises. Plus, with flexible financing, we make unexpected repairs easier on your budget.

Who should I call if my AC is not working?

When your AC isn’t working, calling a trusted, experienced HVAC professional is your best move. At Prantl Heating | Cooling, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing AC problems quickly so your home stays comfortable.

Avoid attempting DIY fixes that could lead to further damage or void your warranty. With over 50 years of experience and a reputation for dependable service, we’re the team you can trust to get your AC back on track.

What is the $5,000 rule for AC?

The $5,000 rule helps homeowners decide whether to repair or replace their AC system. Multiply the cost of the repair by the age of your unit—if the result is $5,000 or more, it’s likely more cost-effective to replace the system.

For example, a $500 repair on a 12-year-old unit equals $6,000, meaning replacement might be the better option. Our team at Prantl Heating | Cooling can assess your situation and help you make the right choice for your home and budget.

Real Customers, Real Reviews

"Chris and team were great. They were knowledgeable, honest, and efficient. Their pricing was in line with what I expected. I had called other HVAC companies around Vestavia that were trying to change 2x for the same thing. Then I called Prantl based upon a neighbors recomendation. I would recommend them to anyone. I love my new HVAC system and the install work is excellent."

- Jim C.

"Our heater motor quit working Friday at 1 pm on our HVAC. By 3 pm Prantl had installed a new motor. We purchased our HVAC several years ago from Prantl and they did an excellent job with installation, Thankfully, our new parts were still under warranty. You could not have asked for such a polite, honest, knowledgeable staff. Thank you Prantl for being there for us when we needed you!"

- Pat W.

"Chris and his team are amazing! My husband called this morning after our ac unit stopped late last night. He let them know we had a newborn in the house and with triple digit heat in the forecast they had a new unit installed before lunch! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Great family owned business, honest pricing, very professional and efficient installation, and an overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend them!!"
