HVAC Services Grand Junction CO | Call Home Comfort Heating & Air

Short cycling is a common issue here, often caused by a dirty air filter restricting airflow, an oversized furnace for your home, or a faulty flame sensor. This constant stopping and starting wastes energy and puts extra wear on your system. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the root cause—whether it's a simple cleaning or a component repair—to restore efficient, steady operation and prevent further damage.

To protect your condenser from freeze damage, ensure it's free of debris and has proper drainage. Before winter, we recommend a professional maintenance visit where we check refrigerant levels, inspect the unit's coils, and ensure the low-pressure switch is functioning correctly. If your unit is in a particularly exposed area, using a fitted cover (allowing for ventilation) can also help shield it from ice and snow buildup.

A comprehensive furnace tune-up is crucial. Our pre-winter maintenance includes cleaning critical components, checking the heat exchanger for cracks (a safety priority), testing the ignition system, and calibrating the thermostat. This service directly addresses the strain our cold nights put on systems, helping to prevent mid-winter breakdowns, improve efficiency, and ensure safe operation throughout the heating season.
