Ryan's Heating and Cooling - Huntsville's Experienced HVAC Repair

In Huntsville's climate, with its pollen and varying seasons, we recommend checking your air filter every month and replacing standard 1-inch filters every 1-3 months. Homes with pets or allergy sufferers may need more frequent changes. A clean filter is crucial for maintaining proper airflow, preventing strain on your system, and improving your home's indoor air quality. During our routine maintenance visits, we always check and can remind you when it's time for a change.

It could be. A faulty reversing valve, which switches the system between heating and cooling, is a common culprit for this problem in Huntsville. However, it's not the only possibility—issues with the thermostat, refrigerant levels, or defrost cycle can also cause it. Our technicians are trained to diagnose reversing valve issues specifically. We'll perform a comprehensive check to pinpoint the exact cause and provide a clear, upfront explanation and solution to get your heat pump working properly again.

Our preventative maintenance service is designed to catch problems like restricted airflow and early signs of heat pump failure. We thoroughly clean the system, including checking and cleaning the coils and drain lines, inspecting electrical connections, testing system controls, and measuring refrigerant levels. Crucially, we perform a detailed inspection of airflow and the heat pump's reversing valve operation. This proactive approach helps extend your system's life, improve efficiency, and prevent inconvenient breakdowns, especially during our peak heating and cooling seasons.
