Modern Heating - Belmar's Top-Rated HVAC Services

Yes, a hissing sound often indicates a refrigerant leak, a common issue in Belmar's older systems. Refrigerant is essential for cooling; a leak reduces efficiency and can damage the compressor. Our technicians use electronic detectors to locate the leak, repair it, and recharge the system to the manufacturer's specification. Prompt repair prevents higher energy bills and more costly damage to your unit.

If your air handler fan fails, your system can't circulate air. First, check your thermostat settings and circuit breaker. If those are fine, the issue could be a faulty capacitor, motor, or blower wheel—common failures we see locally. Don't run the system, as it can cause overheating. Call Modern Heating for a same-day diagnosis and repair to restore airflow and prevent secondary issues.

Preventive maintenance is key. We recommend bi-annual tune-ups in spring and fall. This includes cleaning components, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and lubricating moving parts. For Belmar homes, this specifically helps catch early signs of fan motor wear and small refrigerant leaks before they lead to a full breakdown, saving you money and ensuring comfort during peak seasons.
