Question Answers
My HVAC system in Altadena keeps turning on and off rapidly (short cycling). What could be causing this, and how do you fix it?
Short cycling is a common issue here, often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, or refrigerant problems. Our process starts with a thorough inspection of your entire system. We check the thermostat, clean components, and assess refrigerant levels to pinpoint the exact cause. Often, a simple maintenance service resolves it, but if it's a sizing issue from an old installation, we can discuss replacement options suited for your Altadena home's specific layout and needs.
What's included in your standard HVAC maintenance service to prevent problems?
Our maintenance service is designed to keep your system running reliably and efficiently. It includes cleaning coils and blower components, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, testing safety controls, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring proper airflow. This proactive check-up helps catch small issues before they become major repairs or failures, which is crucial for managing both comfort and energy costs throughout the year.
Why would I need an electrical inspection alongside an HVAC service?
Your HVAC system is a major electrical appliance. An electrical inspection ensures the wiring, circuits, and connections powering your unit are safe and up to code. This is especially important during a replacement or if you're experiencing intermittent power issues. We check for faulty breakers, unsafe wiring, or overloaded circuits that could pose a fire hazard or cause your new system to malfunction, providing peace of mind along with the repair or installation.
