Questions and Answers
Why is my HVAC system in Norfolk short cycling, and how can you fix it?
In Norfolk, short cycling—where your system turns on and off too frequently—is often caused by issues like a dirty air filter, blocked airflow, or an incorrectly sized unit for our climate. Our technicians perform a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's a simple cleaning, ductwork repair, or a thermostat calibration. Fixing this not only restores comfort but also prevents costly wear and tear on your system.
What should I do if I suspect a refrigerant leak in my Norfolk home's AC?
If your AC is blowing warm air or you notice ice on the coils, you may have a leak. Refrigerant leaks are a common issue here and should be addressed immediately by a professional. At Amilcar Sheet Metal, we use specialized tools to locate the leak, repair it, and safely recharge your system to the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring it runs efficiently and effectively through our humid summers.
