AC out, blowing warm, or iced over
Outdoor unit silent · indoor blower running but warm air · ice on the refrigerant lines · short-cycling on/off. Possible causes range from electrical parts (capacitor, contactor) to a refrigerant problem — both need a technician to diagnose.
Furnace not igniting or blowing cold
Furnace won't ignite · blowing cold air · short-cycling · burning smell on first startup. If you smell gas, leave the building right away without flipping switches or using phones inside, then call 911 or your gas utility’s emergency line from outside.
Water dripping from vent or air handler
Water from a ceiling vent · pooling near the indoor air handler · drain pan overflowing. Typical causes of condensate overflow include a clogged or dislodged drain line, a cracked or corroded drain pan, a failed condensate pump, and a dirty filter that lets the coil freeze (ACCA). Turn the thermostat off to limit water damage and call a technician.

Mobile had an estimated 200,824 residents on July 1, 2025. In Mobile, the median home was built in 1974 with a current median value of $170,300. Around 51% of homes are owner-occupied. About 42% of households heat with natural gas vs. 56% electric. The Alabama grid averages $0.16/kWh.

HVAC in Mobile, AL: local data & sources
Every numerical claim below references a federal, state, or municipal primary source — NOAA climate normals, U.S. Census ACS, the Alabama licensing authority, and your local utility's published rebate program.
NOAA NCEI 1991–2020 Normals
Mobile Regional Airport (KMOB) is the official NOAA reference station for Mobile, Alabama. Per the NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020, Mobile records approximately 1,616 annual heating degree days against 2,599 annual cooling degree days, 77.5 days per year above 90°F, only 20.9 days below freezing, and an essentially negligible 0.2 inches of annual snowfall. The 1.6:1 CDD-to-HDD ratio firmly places Mobile in the cooling-dominant Hot-Humid (IECC Zone 2A) classification, where equipment sizing should be driven by summer latent (humidity) load, not sensible heat alone. Mobile also faces the Gulf Coast’s tropical-cyclone exposure — coastal salt-air corrosion shortens outdoor condenser-coil service life relative to inland markets, and storm-grade tie-down anchoring of condensers is standard practice on the Bay. Heavy annual rainfall also drives attention to condensate-drain sizing and to outdoor-pad elevation against hurricane storm surge.
U.S. Census ACS 2023 5-Year
The U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2023 5-year estimates (Tables B25040, B25003, B25077 and B25035 for Mobile city, Alabama) report a median year built of 1974, with a heating-fuel distribution of 55.9% electricity and 42.1% utility natural gas. The roughly even electric / gas split is characteristic of older Gulf Coast cities where pipeline gas service preceded widespread heat-pump adoption. The 51.4% owner-occupancy rate is below the Alabama state average (69.9%). The median home value is $170,300. Alabama’s residential average electricity rate of 16.18¢/kWh (EIA Electric Power Monthly) is moderately above the U.S. average, which improves the payback math for high-SEER2 replacement equipment.
Alabama HACR Board
HVAC work in Mobile is licensed by the Alabama Board of Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Contractors (HACR). The HVAC contractor examination fee is $175 per exam (or $350 for both HVAC and Refrigeration), and the licence fee is $220; active contractor renewals run $190 annually. Active HVAC contractors are required to post a $20,000 performance (surety) bond with the Board. Experience pathways: a registered two-year apprenticeship under a licensed contractor, graduation from an approved Alabama community-college HVAC program, or 3,000 hours (approximately 18 months) of supervised work experience within the past five years. Renewal requires 4 hours of continuing education annually. Anyone handling refrigerant in the course of HVAC service must additionally hold a current EPA Section 608 certification under federal law. Verify a Mobile-area contractor’s status on the HACR public lookup at hacr.alabama.gov, and confirm local permit status with the City of Mobile Build Mobile Department (Inspections) before signing.
Alabama Power
Mobile’s electric service is provided by Alabama Power, which administers a published residential HVAC rebate program. Per the Alabama Power Rebates & Incentives page, the heat pump rebate is a single $1,000 rebate for switching from a gas furnace to an all-electric heat pump rated 18 SEER2 (20 SEER) or higher, and the offer ends permanently on December 1, 2026. Smart-thermostat reimbursements are up to $200. Heat pump applications must be completed within 90 days of purchase, the rebate may be subject to an on-site inspection by Alabama Power, and the customer is expected to repay it if the application information is deemed false. Alabama’s federally funded Home Energy Rebates (HEEHR and HOMES) are being developed by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA). As of September 2026, ADECA says the program “is under development” and the date households can access rebates “has not been determined.” ADECA’s program page explains how to sign up for update notifications.
The federal Section 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit was terminated for installations placed in service after Dec 31, 2025 by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21). Check your state energy office and utility for current rebate programs. See our HVAC financing options for what's still available.
