Yes, absolutely. In our humid coastal climate, evaporator coils can accumulate dirt and debris quickly, which insulates the coil and prevents it from absorbing heat from your home effectively. This is a common issue we see. A professional cleaning as part of a repair or maintenance visit from George can often restore your system's cooling power and efficiency.

Short cycling is when your system turns on and off too frequently, which is hard on components and drives up energy bills. Common local causes include an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, or refrigerant issues. Our repair technicians at George will diagnose the root cause—whether it's a simple fix or a sign your system is struggling—and provide a clear, honest recommendation to get it running smoothly again.

If your system is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs (especially for issues like persistent short cycling), or has skyrocketing energy bills, a replacement is often more cost-effective. For local homeowners, we recommend considering a replacement with a new, properly sized, high-efficiency unit. This not only solves chronic problems but also provides better humidity control and long-term savings, which is crucial for our climate.
