HVAC Repair Scarborough ME | Call ASK Mechanical

A common issue for our Scarborough neighbors, especially during cold snaps, is frozen components in the heat pump. This often happens when airflow is restricted, frequently due to a clogged air filter. While changing the filter is a good first step, if the unit remains iced over, it's best to turn it off and call us. As licensed technicians with extensive heat pump experience, we can safely thaw the system, diagnose the root cause—whether it's a refrigerant issue, a faulty defrost cycle, or something else—and make the necessary repair to restore efficient heating.

Regular maintenance is key to system longevity, efficiency, and preventing costly breakdowns. For ASK Mechanical, founded on the principle of saving you money on energy bills, a well-maintained system is a more affordable one.
