In Longview, short cycling is often caused by issues like an oversized unit, a dirty air filter restricting airflow, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Our technicians start with a comprehensive diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause. We then provide the necessary repair—whether it's cleaning components, recalibrating your thermostat, or advising on system adjustments—to restore normal, efficient operation and prevent wear and tear on your equipment.

Heat pumps in our climate can lose efficiency due to refrigerant issues, dirty coils, or a failing defrost cycle. At 72 Degrees, we perform a thorough inspection of your entire heat pump system. We check refrigerant levels, clean the outdoor and indoor coils, and test the defrost control board to ensure it's operating correctly. Proper maintenance and timely repairs are key to keeping your heat pump running reliably and cost-effectively all winter long.

Preventative maintenance is the best defense. We recommend a bi-annual professional tune-up—once in the spring for cooling and once in the fall for heating. This service includes cleaning critical components, checking refrigerant levels, testing system controls, and ensuring all electrical connections are secure. This proactive care helps prevent short cycling, maintains heat pump efficiency, and can extend the life of your system while lowering your energy costs.
