D&S Heating & Cooling - Aberdeen's Best HVAC Services

Frozen heat pump components are a common issue here in Aberdeen due to our cold, damp winters. The first step is to turn the system to 'emergency heat' or 'auxiliary heat' mode and call for service. Attempting to chip away ice can damage the delicate fins. Our technicians are trained to safely thaw the unit, diagnose the underlying cause—such as low refrigerant, a faulty defrost control, or airflow issues—and make the necessary repair to prevent it from happening again.

Regular maintenance is crucial for efficiency and longevity, especially given our local conditions. For example, during our humid summers, outdoor condenser coils can quickly become clogged with cottonwood seeds, grass clippings, and dust. A dirty coil forces your system to work harder, driving up energy bills and risking a breakdown. Our maintenance service includes a thorough cleaning of these coils, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring all components are working correctly to keep your system running smoothly and save you money.

If your system is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or struggles to maintain a consistent temperature, it may be time for a replacement. An outdated system is often inefficient, leading to high energy costs, particularly during our extreme seasons. We provide honest assessments and can discuss modern, properly sized options that will improve your home's comfort and energy efficiency. A new, correctly installed system is a solid investment in your Aberdeen home's value and your family's year-round comfort.
