HVAC Services Baltimore MD | Call Forakis Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Inc

For Baltimore homeowners, key signs include frequent, costly repairs, uneven heating or cooling between rooms, a noticeable increase in your monthly energy bills, and the system struggling to maintain a comfortable temperature during our seasonal extremes. If your system is over 10-15 years old, a replacement with a modern, high-efficiency unit is often a more cost-effective and reliable long-term solution for our local climate.

Yes, a faulty reversing valve is a common culprit when a heat pump blows cold air in heating mode, especially in our Baltimore winters. This valve is responsible for switching the refrigerant flow between heating and cooling. Our technicians will first verify the issue through diagnostics. Repair involves checking for electrical issues, debris, or mechanical failure. Often, a professional cleaning or minor repair can resolve it, but if the valve is damaged, we'll recommend a precise replacement to restore your home's heat efficiently.

First, check your thermostat settings and circuit breaker. If those are fine, give us a call immediately. We prioritize emergency calls for Baltimore residents during extreme weather to restore your comfort and safety as quickly as possible. Our technicians are equipped to diagnose common failures—from compressor issues in summer to reversing valve or ignition problems in winter—and perform reliable repairs on the spot whenever possible to get your system running again.
