HVAC Repair Salem VA | Call Goff Heating & Air Conditioning

This is a common issue here, especially during our hot, humid summers. A failing AC capacitor, which helps start your outdoor unit's compressor and fan motor, is a frequent culprit. When it weakens, the system can't maintain the needed electrical charge and will cycle on and off or stop completely. Our technicians can quickly test and replace a faulty capacitor to restore your cooling.

Yes, reduced cooling is a key sign of a refrigerant leak, another common local HVAC problem. Refrigerant doesn't get 'used up'; a low level means there's a leak. This forces your system to work harder, increasing energy bills and potentially causing further damage. We perform a thorough leak detection test to find the source, repair it, and correctly recharge your system to its manufacturer specifications.

Preventative maintenance is crucial for our climate. Our seasonal tune-ups include inspecting capacitors for bulging or wear, checking refrigerant levels and pressures for signs of leaks, cleaning coils, and ensuring all electrical connections are tight. This proactive service helps catch small issues before they lead to a breakdown on the hottest day, saving you money and extending your system's life.
