HVAC Repair Fort Collins CO | Call A.T. Heating and Home Repair

This is a classic sign of an improperly sized HVAC system, a common issue in our area. A system that's too large for your home will 'short cycle,' cooling or heating too quickly without properly circulating air. A system that's too small runs constantly, struggling to maintain temperature. At A.T. Heating and Home Repair, we perform a detailed Manual J load calculation specific to Fort Collins' climate and your home's construction to recommend the perfectly sized unit for even comfort and efficiency.

Yes, refrigerant leaks are a frequent culprit for poor cooling performance in our local HVAC systems. Low refrigerant means your AC can't absorb heat effectively. Signs include reduced cooling, ice on the refrigerant lines, or a hissing sound. Our technicians use electronic leak detectors to pinpoint the exact source of the leak. We then perform a permanent repair, not just a 'top-off,' followed by a proper recharge of refrigerant to restore your system's efficiency and protect the compressor from damage.

Our comprehensive evaluation goes beyond a simple check-up. We assess your entire system's health and performance, with a focus on local issues. This includes checking for refrigerant leaks, measuring airflow at all vents, inspecting ductwork for leaks or restrictions common in our area, and verifying your system's capacity matches your home's needs. We provide a clear, written report with any recommendations, from minor repairs to system replacement, always tailored for optimal performance in the Fort Collins climate.
