HVAC Repair Stafford VA | Call Rad HVAC & Plumbing

Yes, a faulty reversing valve is a common cause of heating problems in Stafford-area heat pumps, especially during season changes. This valve switches the system between heating and cooling modes. Our technicians are experts at diagnosing valve issues and refrigerant leaks that often accompany them. We'll perform a thorough inspection, repair or replace the valve as needed, and ensure your refrigerant charge is correct to restore efficient heating to your home.

Not necessarily. Many refrigerant leaks in Stafford homes can be repaired without replacing the entire HVAC system. Our first step is a precise leak detection service to locate the source, which is often in the coil, line set, or connections. We then perform a permanent repair, evacuate the system, and recharge it with the proper amount of refrigerant. We'll only recommend replacement if your system is very old, the leak is catastrophic, or if a new unit would be significantly more efficient and cost-effective for you.

Absolutely. We encourage comprehensive home system checks. While servicing your HVAC for issues like refrigerant leaks, we can perform a complimentary visual plumbing inspection. We'll look for signs of leaks, corrosion, or poor drainage that could lead to water damage or mold—common concerns in our climate. This proactive, neighborly approach helps us identify small problems with faucets, pipes, or water heaters before they become major emergencies, saving you time and money.
