Professional HVAC Services in Covington, LA 70433 - Artus Air Conditioning & Heating

This is a common issue in our area, often caused by a faulty reversing valve—the component that changes the flow of refrigerant for heating vs. cooling. It can get stuck due to wear, debris, or electrical failure. Our technicians are experts at diagnosing and repairing or replacing reversing valves to get your system functioning properly again, ensuring your home stays comfortable through our variable seasons.

It's a smart question! We recommend considering replacement if your system is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, causes uneven temperatures, or leads to unexpectedly high energy bills. We'll perform a thorough evaluation, factoring in your home's size and efficiency needs, and provide a transparent cost-benefit analysis so you can make an informed, confident decision for your Covington home.

For our local climate, look for a system with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating for cooling and a good HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) for heat pump heating. Proper sizing is critical—too large or too small leads to inefficiency and discomfort. We help you select a reliable, appropriately-sized unit from quality brands, ensuring it's installed correctly to maximize performance, lifespan, and energy savings for years to come.
