Local HVAC Repair in Carson City, NV 89706 - Mountain Aire Heating & Air Conditioning

This often indicates a problem with the heat pump's reversing valve, a common issue in our climate. The valve is responsible for switching your system between heating and cooling modes. If it's stuck or failing, your unit defaults to less efficient emergency heat. Our technicians can diagnose valve issues, perform repairs, or recommend a replacement to restore efficient heating and lower your energy bills.

Overheating compressors are frequently caused by refrigerant issues, poor airflow due to dirty coils or a failing fan motor, or simply age and wear in our demanding temperature swings. We'll check refrigerant levels, clean the condenser coils thoroughly, inspect electrical components, and ensure the unit has proper clearance for airflow to prevent costly breakdowns and extend its lifespan.

Twice-yearly professional maintenance is key. Before summer, we clean coils, check refrigerant, and ensure the condenser fan is operational. Before winter, we inspect the heat pump's reversing valve operation, check defrost cycles, and test heating elements. This proactive care catches small issues before they lead to system failure, improving efficiency and preventing unexpected repairs during extreme weather.
