Heaths Heating and Repairs | Reliable HVAC Repair in Gretna, LA

In our extreme humidity, the evaporator coil can freeze over if airflow is restricted or refrigerant levels are low. This ice buildup blocks cooling. Our technicians first safely thaw the system, then pinpoint the root cause—often a dirty air filter, failing blower motor, or refrigerant leak—to restore efficient cooling.

A faulty reversing valve, crucial for switching between heating and cooling, often shows as the system getting stuck in one mode. You might have AC blowing warm air or a heater blowing cool air. You may also hear a hissing noise. We can test the valve's electrical control and refrigerant flow to diagnose and resolve the issue.

Beyond changing your filter regularly, ensure outdoor condenser coils are clean from grass clippings and debris, which restrict airflow. Using ceiling fans and closing blinds can also help. For a long-term solution, we can assess if your system is properly sized for our climate and humidity levels, and discuss maintenance plans or efficiency upgrades.
