Question Answers
My AC or furnace in my De Motte home keeps turning on and off every few minutes. What's causing this short cycling, and can you fix it?
Short cycling is a common issue here, often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, a faulty thermostat, or a refrigerant leak. It puts immense stress on your system and raises your energy bills. Our technicians will perform a comprehensive diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple sensor cleaning, thermostat calibration, or a more involved repair—and provide a lasting solution to restore normal operation and efficiency.
I have weak airflow from my vents and high energy bills. Could this be from leaky ducts, and how do you test for that?
Absolutely. Duct leakage is a major culprit for poor airflow and wasted energy in Northwest Indiana homes. We perform a professional duct leakage test using specialized equipment to measure how much conditioned air is escaping into your attic, crawlspace, or walls. Once we identify the leaks, we use industry-grade mastics and sealants to properly seal your ductwork, which can significantly improve comfort, lower your bills, and extend the life of your HVAC equipment.
As a De Motte homeowner, what regular maintenance can help prevent these common HVAC problems?
Preventive maintenance is key. We recommend a bi-annual tune-up—once in the spring for your AC and once in the fall for your furnace. Our maintenance visit includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, inspecting electrical connections, testing safety controls, and checking for early signs of duct issues. This proactive care helps prevent short cycling, maintains airflow, improves efficiency, and catches small problems before they become expensive, disruptive repairs.
