Alexanders Heating & Cooling - Eugene's Trusted HVAC Repair

It could be either. Our technicians first diagnose common local issues like refrigerant leaks, faulty reversing valves, or airflow problems from clogged filters—all of which are often repairable. If your system is old, frequently breaking down, or uses outdated R-22 refrigerant, a replacement with a modern, energy-efficient model may be the most cost-effective long-term solution for our climate. We provide a clear, honest assessment to guide your decision.

Short cycling, where your system turns on and off too frequently, is often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, or a faulty thermostat. It's a common issue here that drives up energy bills and causes wear. We perform a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple maintenance fix like cleaning coils or a more involved repair—to restore normal, efficient cycles and protect your equipment.

Our seasonal maintenance is crucial for Eugene's damp winters and dry summers. We clean heat pump coils to maintain efficiency, check refrigerant levels for optimal heating/cooling, ensure electrical connections are secure, and calibrate thermostats. This proactive service prevents common performance drops, reduces the risk of emergency breakdowns during temperature extremes, and keeps your system running reliably and affordably throughout the year.
