Q&A
Could improper installation be why my HVAC system keeps freezing up in Wabash?
Yes, absolutely. In Wabash's humid summers, an incorrectly sized unit or improper refrigerant charge from a poor installation is a leading cause of frozen evaporator coils. This forces the system to work much harder, leading to breakdowns and high energy bills. At Fouts Construction, we perform precise load calculations and follow manufacturer specifications for every installation to prevent these issues and ensure long-term reliability.
What's included in your HVAC maintenance service to prevent common local problems?
Our Wabash-focused maintenance service is designed to catch the issues we see most often. We thoroughly clean the evaporator and condenser coils to prevent freezing, check and adjust the refrigerant charge, ensure all electrical connections are secure, and calibrate your thermostat. This proactive care improves efficiency, extends your system's life, and helps you avoid the surprise of a breakdown during our hottest or coldest days.
When is it time to consider a full HVAC replacement instead of another repair?
For many Wabash homes with older systems, frequent repairs on issues like recurrent coil freezing or failing components are a sign it's time for a replacement. If your system is over 10-15 years old, your energy bills are climbing, or you're facing another major repair, a new, properly installed system from Fouts Construction will be more reliable, significantly more efficient, and provide better comfort year-round.
