HVAC Services Tallahassee FL | Call Kelvin’s Heat & Air Conditioning

This is often due to a failing reversing valve, a common issue in our climate due to year-round system use. The valve switches your heat pump between heating and cooling. When it fails, the system gets 'stuck.' Our technicians can diagnose valve issues, perform repairs, or recommend a replacement to restore full functionality and comfort to your home.

Short cycling is a frequent problem in Tallahassee, often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, or a faulty thermostat. This rapid cycling strains the compressor, increases wear, and spikes your energy bills. We'll identify the root cause—whether it's a simple fix like cleaning coils or a more complex refrigerant issue—and get your system running in longer, more efficient cycles.

Proactive, bi-annual maintenance is key. Before summer and winter, we recommend a professional tune-up. For heat pumps, this includes checking the reversing valve operation and refrigerant charge. For ACs, we clean coils, check electrical connections, and ensure proper airflow. This preventative care catches small issues before they become major repairs, improves efficiency, and extends the life of your system in our demanding climate.
