HVAC Services Ashland VA | Call Fitzgerald Oil

Short cycling is often caused by issues like a dirty air filter, refrigerant leaks, or an oversized unit—all common problems we see in Ashland homes. It strains your system and hikes up energy bills. Our technicians will perform a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's a simple cleaning, a refrigerant recharge, or advising on system sizing, to restore efficient, long-running cycles and protect your HVAC investment.

Absolutely. A failed capacitor is one of the most frequent causes of AC breakdowns during Ashland's humid summers. It's the component that helps your compressor and fan motors start. If your unit is humming but not starting, this is likely the issue. Fitzgerald Oil's team carries common capacitors on our service trucks for many Ashland-area systems. We can often diagnose and replace a faulty capacitor on the same visit, getting your cool air back quickly.

We recommend bi-annual maintenance—once in the spring for your AC and once in the fall for your heating system. Our precision tune-up includes checking electrical components like capacitors and contactors, cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring proper airflow. This proactive service is the best way to catch small issues before they lead to a breakdown, improve efficiency, and extend the life of your system, saving you money and hassle.
