Certified HVAC Services in Tulsa, OK 74145 - Above it All HVAC

Yes, that's a common symptom of a faulty reversing valve, a frequent issue in Tulsa due to our reliance on heat pumps. This valve is crucial for switching your system between heating and cooling modes. When it sticks or fails, your system can get stuck in the cooling cycle. Our technicians can diagnose the valve issue and perform a precise repair or replacement to restore your home's warmth efficiently.

Signs of a refrigerant leak include reduced cooling power, longer run times, ice on the evaporator coils, and higher energy bills. In Tulsa's heat, a leak significantly strains your system. We use advanced electronic leak detectors and UV dye tests to locate even small leaks. Repairing the leak and properly recharging the system to the manufacturer's specification is essential for restoring efficiency and preventing compressor damage.

Preventative maintenance is key for Tulsa heat pumps. We recommend bi-annual tune-ups (spring and fall) that include checking the reversing valve operation, inspecting refrigerant levels and lines for leaks, cleaning coils, and ensuring all electrical components are secure. This proactive service helps catch small issues like a sticky valve or a slow leak before they lead to a major breakdown, saving you money and extending your system's life in our demanding climate.
