Air Solutions Heating Cooling & Plumbing - Tulsa's Trusted HVAC Services

Tulsa's seasonal pollen and dust can significantly impact air quality. We recommend a multi-layered approach: first, ensure your HVAC system's air filter is changed regularly with a high-MERV rated filter. For more robust purification, we can install whole-home air purifiers or UV-C light systems that neutralize airborne contaminants directly in your ductwork. Proper humidity control with a whole-home dehumidifier also plays a crucial role in preventing mold and mildew, creating a healthier breathing environment for your family.

Yes, a malfunctioning reversing valve is a common issue for Tulsa heat pumps, especially after periods of heavy use during our variable seasons. Symptoms include the system blowing cool air when set to heat, or vice versa. Our technicians are experts in diagnosing valve issues, which can often be caused by wear, electrical failure, or refrigerant problems. Prompt professional repair is key, as running the system with a faulty valve can lead to compressor damage and more costly repairs.

Given our hot summers and cold winters that put extra demand on heat pumps, we recommend bi-annual professional maintenance—once in the spring before cooling season and again in the fall before heating season. This service includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, inspecting electrical components, and specifically testing the reversing valve's operation. This proactive care improves efficiency, extends the system's lifespan, and helps catch small problems, like a sticky reversing valve, before they lead to a complete breakdown.
