Air Richard's Air Conditioning & Heating - Toms River's Trusted HVAC Services

This is a common sign of a failing reversing valve, a key component that switches your heat pump between heating and cooling modes. Salt air and normal wear can cause these valves to stick. Our technicians can diagnose the issue and perform a precise repair or replacement to restore your system's full functionality, ensuring comfort through every Toms River season.

Short cycling is often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, or a faulty thermostat. It strains your system, hikes up energy bills, and fails to properly dehumidify your Toms River home. We'll pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple fix like cleaning the coils or a more involved calibration—to protect your equipment and your comfort.

Regular maintenance is key. We recommend bi-annual tune-ups—once before summer and once before winter. This includes cleaning components, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and inspecting for wear from our local environment. This proactive service from Air Richard's can catch small issues like a sticking valve or dirty sensor before they lead to a breakdown or inefficient short cycling.
