Licensed HVAC Services in Gibsonton, FL 33534 - All Southshore Air Conditioning

Yes, that's a common sign of a reversing valve issue, a frequent problem we see in Gibsonton due to our system's year-round use. The valve directs refrigerant flow for heating or cooling mode. If it's stuck, electrically faulty, or has debris, your system can't change modes. Our technicians can diagnose the exact cause—whether it needs cleaning, a repair, or a replacement—to get your comfort back on track.

In our area, with pollen, humidity, and typical dust, we recommend checking your filter monthly and changing it at least every 90 days for standard filters, or more often if you have pets or allergies. A clogged filter is one of the top causes of HVAC issues here, as it restricts airflow, strains your system, reduces efficiency, and can even lead to frozen coils or overheating. Regular changes are a simple way to protect your investment.

Watch for reduced airflow from your vents, longer running times to reach the set temperature, unusual spikes in your energy bill, or ice forming on the refrigerant lines or indoor coil. Your system may also cycle on and off more frequently. These are all indicators of restricted airflow from a clogged filter, forcing your unit to work harder. If you notice these signs, check your filter first, then give us a call for a professional inspection to ensure no other damage has occurred.
