She went outside and came back in and said that I had a leak in one of my coils and that because my units were so old (20+ years) and because they didn't make my units any more, I needed to replace the entire system. She advised 2 things: 1) I put freon in that day to give me immediate relief at a cost of $220 and 2) have someone from their company come out and give me a bid to replace my units. I agreed. The bid for the new units was $6,000 - $8,000 depending on what model I went with and the estimator also told me my units were over 20 years old. I had a second company come out because my air conditioning still wasn't cooling properly and because I wanted a second bid. They hooked up the same machine as the Service Expert technician to see if I had a leak and could find no leak! They also tested my freon levels and said that the level was almost too high. They listened to me as I explained what I thought the problem could be and in about 20 minutes, located the problem and corrected it. My house was cooler within hours. Also, I complained to them that since the Service Expert technician had been there, my shower water had been scalding hot. My heater and air conditioning run off the same compressor and my heater needs hot water to run. The new company showed me that the temperature gauge on my hot water heater had been turned up to the highest setting possible. I have never touched the gauge and in fact, didn't know where it was. I believe that the Service Expert technician turned the gauge up in order to have the pipe that carries hot water across the air conditioner compressor become even hotter thereby making it almost impossible for the a/c to do its job. She wanted me to believe that I needed to replace the a/c. Oh, and my units were only 10 years old according to the new company who called in the serial numbers to the parts place. The only true thing that Service Expert told me was that my unit is no longer being made. Finally, I have tried to call Service Experts and get their Vice President for Customer Service to contact me so I can tell him or her what dishonest employees they have working for them. No one has called me back. This company has employees who are obviously on some type of commission and they will do anything to make a sale. The technician lied several times to me and tampered with my hot water heater. And the second employee who came to make the bid could obviously see that my units were not that old. I will never do business with Service Experts again and I wouldn't advise anyone else to either."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/al/irondale/norrell-service-experts-reviews-295399.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Standard Air, Plumbing & Insulation","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"AL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Sharon B."},"reviewBody":"They have always been honest with us.

"November 2024: After more than a decade of using AireServ as my primary HVAC company, with multiple new installs, I am changing my review from 5 stars to 1 star. Since the recent change in ownership at AireServ Over the Mountain, the quality and integrity of this company have collapsed. During a service call, in November, 2024, I was told every technician except one (Hoyt) has been with AireServ six months or less. In March of 2024 a technician serviced both units at my home but failed to seal the main level air exchanger properly. On November 8th, 2024, this error caused condensation, which led to a premature part failure. The technician admitted the mistake on-site. When the tech communicated this to the new owner, he refused to accept any responsibility whatsoever. The unit was under warranty, but I was charged $426.16 for labor, 20 minutes of work, because of their error. I told them then: they had just lost a customer of ten-plus years. August 28, 2025: Things have only gotten worse. Today, I received a call and text about a “maintenance appointment” that was never scheduled or authorized—followed by a $378 charge to my card. This kind of unauthorized billing never happened under previous ownership. This is fraudulent. I plan to dispute the charge and file a complaint with the Alabama Attorney General. My advice: With the new ownership, do not walk, run away from AireServ Over the Mountain before you regret it."

"I called for AC service on Monday. Aug 18, 2025. A technician came out promptly but said a blower motor was needed, which would have to wait until the next day due to parts warehouse being closed that evening. When the tech contacted me the next day, he said the part would have to be ordered and not be in until late Thurs, with installation now sooner than Fri. The tech then told us on Fri morning that the part wouldn't be in until Monday. Our area was under a heat advisory, and at no time did the tech display any sense of urgency, nor did they attempt to obtain the part from any other supplier in the greater Bham area. Extremely poor communication, planning, and service. I will NEVER use Ontime again."

FAQs for heating and air conditioning service projects in Birmingham, AL
Knowing how long your existing HVAC units can last is essential to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Typically, most modern air conditioning units can last between 15 to 20 years, and most furnaces can work properly for 15 to 30 years. If your HVAC system is on the older side and you decide to replace one unit, it might make sense to replace both simultaneously to save on costs and future hassle.
While different HVAC contractors might offer higher or lower prices than competitors, the best time to replace your HVAC system is when customer demand is low. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter bring the most demand for HVAC systems, so if you can, consider replacing your HVAC units in the early spring or fall. Many HVAC companies offer special off-season coupons that help lower the overall cost.
The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.
Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The average cost of HVAC repairs is around $350. However, that price can be as low as $100 or as high as $2,000 or more, depending on the repair. For example, replacing a capacitor is a relatively inexpensive repair, ranging from $100 to $500. However, a compressor repair is a more expensive repair, ranging from $750 to $2,000.
