MC Mechanical: Experienced HVAC Services Serving Kearney, MO 64060

Yes, that's a common sign of a failing reversing valve, which is a critical component that switches your system between heating and cooling modes. When it gets stuck, your heat pump can't produce warm air. At MC Mechanical, our Kearney-based technicians are experts at diagnosing and repairing reversing valve issues to quickly restore your home's heat during our colder Missouri seasons.

We recommend checking your filter every month and replacing it at least every 90 days for standard 1-inch filters. In Kearney, with our seasonal pollen, dust, and farming particulates, you may need to change it more frequently, especially during high-use seasons. A clogged filter is a top cause of reduced airflow, frozen coils, and system strain. Our team can advise on the best filter type and schedule for your specific home.

Watch for weak airflow from your vents, unusual dust buildup in your home, a noticeable increase in your energy bills, or your system constantly running but not reaching the set temperature. Most seriously, a severely restricted filter can cause the evaporator coil to freeze. If you notice ice on your indoor unit or a lack of cooling, turn the system off and call MC Mechanical. Our local technicians can safely thaw the system, replace the filter, and check for any resulting damage.
