Hawkins Heating & Air Conditioning | Licensed HVAC Repair in Oklahoma City, OK

That's often a clogged condensate drain, a very common issue in our humid Oklahoma City climate where algae and mold can build up in the drain line. This blockage causes water to back up and leak, potentially damaging your ceilings or floors. Hawkins technicians will clear the clog using specialized tools, flush the line, and can install preventative treatments to help keep it clear and protect your home.

It very well could be. A faulty reversing valve, which switches your system between heating and cooling, is a known point of failure for heat pumps in our area. If it's stuck, your system might be stuck in cooling mode. Our experts at Hawkins will test the valve's electrical components and operation. We can often repair it, but if replacement is needed, we'll ensure your new valve is installed correctly to restore efficient heating for our Oklahoma City winters.

Preventative maintenance is key! Our local Hawkins team recommends bi-annual tune-ups—once before summer and once before winter. During these visits, we specifically check and clean condensate drains to prevent clogs and test the heat pump's entire refrigerant circuit, including the reversing valve, for proper operation. This proactive care helps catch small problems before they lead to breakdowns, saving you money and hassle while extending your system's life in our demanding climate.
