Most Commonly Asked Questions

To learn more about HVAC services please check out a few of our most frequently asked questions below. 

What Are The Most Common HVAC Repairs?

There are some common HVAC problems. The first one involves refrigerant: if your refrigerant gets low or is not circulating correctly, this can be a problem that will eventually damage your unit. The second most common problem is your thermostat; sometimes if the batteries are low or the thermostat is older, you will not get correct temperature readings. This may cause your unit to run when it is not necessary. The third common repair issue is drainage of the unit’s condensation. This can cause the unit to freeze. The last problem is the filter in your unit. When the filter in your unit gets dirty, it does not allow the unit to run properly.

What Causes The Suction Line To Freeze?

The suction line freezing can be a result of one or more of the following issues. The first is airflow problems which dirty filters can cause, the second is low refrigerant which makes the unit work harder to cool, and the last is low temperature. If the temperature in your home is set too low, this can cause your unit to freeze. Most HVAC units operate over 67 degrees. Regular inspections and maintenance can help keep your suction line from freezing.

Is It Normal For My HVAC Unit To Make Noise?

A brief hissing noise coming from your HVAC unit can be expected. However, you should not hear a constant hissing noise from your unit. You should not hear a loud popping noise when your unit is turning off or on. However, if you do hear this, it is probably not from your unit. It is your duct work and needs to be addressed.
