Evaporator coil biological growth from sustained summer humidity — annual cleaning is a minimum, not optional
Condensate drain blockage is the most common AC service call in Alabama from May through September
Furnaces sit idle for 8+ months and frequently fail at October startup from oxidized igniters and dried inducer motors
Gulf Coast counties face salt air corrosion on outdoor condensing units within 20 miles of the coast
Compressor burnout typically occurs at 8–12 years vs. 14–18 years in cold climates
Capacitor failure is the single most common AC repair event in this zone — typically fails at 5–8 years
These climate-specific stress patterns — unique to Alabama's conditions — cause the component failures our technicians address most frequently.
Near-continuous operation from May through September accumulates 2,000–2,800 run-hours per season — equivalent to what a northern-zone compressor runs in 3–4 years
Heat degrades capacitor dielectric fluid; hot-humid attic installations reach 130–150°F ambient, accelerating capacitor degradation
Continuous humid air passing over the coil creates permanent biological growth habitat; acidic byproducts of mold and algae corrode aluminum coil fins over time

Alabama falls primarily in the Hot-Humid climate zone — heating demand is low, cooling demand is critical. These conditions define which maintenance tasks matter most.
AC systems run near-continuously from May through September. June through August dew points regularly exceed 70°F, placing maximum latent load on evaporator coils.
Furnace use is limited to 6–10 weeks per year. Units sit dormant for 8+ months, creating startup failure risk each fall from rust, critter nesting, and dried lubricants.
