FAQs
Why is my AC in my New Orleans home short cycling, and how can you fix it?
Short cycling is often caused by an oversized unit, low refrigerant, a dirty air filter, or a faulty thermostat. The constant on-and-off operation strains the system and increases your energy costs. Our technicians will perform a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's sealing a refrigerant leak, cleaning the system, or calibrating your thermostat, to restore efficient and reliable cooling.
What are the signs of a failing heat pump reversing valve in our climate?
In New Orleans, where your heat pump works year-round, a faulty reversing valve may cause your system to blow cool air when set to heat, or warm air when set to cool. You might also hear a hissing noise. This valve is essential for switching between heating and cooling modes. We can test the valve's operation and replace it if necessary to ensure your system functions correctly in every season.
What HVAC maintenance do you recommend to prevent these common local issues?
Preventative maintenance is key in our humid climate. We recommend bi-annual tune-ups—once before summer and once before winter. Our service includes cleaning coils and components, checking refrigerant levels, testing the reversing valve operation, inspecting electrical connections, and ensuring your thermostat is accurate. This proactive care can prevent short cycling, valve failures, and extend the life of your system.
