Trusted HVAC Services in Grand Junction, CO 81505 - Disciple Mechanical Custom Plumbing and HVAC

Absolutely. A comprehensive plumbing inspection from Disciple Mechanical checks for issues like poor drainage or inadequate water pressure that can affect your HVAC system's humidifier. In our dry Grand Junction climate, a malfunctioning humidifier leads to extremely low indoor humidity, which is a common contributor to evaporator coils freezing. By ensuring your plumbing supports proper humidification, we help your HVAC system run efficiently and avoid costly freeze-ups.

Grand Junction's naturally dry air means your HVAC system has to work harder to both heat and cool your home. Critically low humidity can cause wooden components in your ductwork and furniture to dry out and crack, creating dust that clogs filters and coils. More directly, it can cause the evaporator coil to become too cold, leading to frost and ice buildup. This reduces efficiency, increases wear, and can lead to a complete system shutdown. We assess your home's humidity levels as part of our service to prevent these issues.

First, turn your HVAC system to the 'off' position (not just the fan) to allow the ice to melt completely. This can take several hours. Do not attempt to chip away the ice, as this can damage the delicate coils. Once thawed, check and replace your air filter if it's dirty, as restricted airflow is a common cause. If the problem recurs, it's time to call Disciple Mechanical. Our plumbing and HVAC experts will perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause—be it low refrigerant, a faulty blower, duct leaks, or humidity imbalance—and provide a lasting repair.
