Licensed HVAC Services in Hampton, VA 23666 - S & W HVAC

It could be either. Often, a lack of cooling is due to a repairable issue like a refrigerant leak, a faulty capacitor, or a dirty condenser coil—common problems we fix daily in Hampton. However, if your system is over 10-15 years old and requires frequent repairs, a replacement with a modern, energy-efficient unit may be more cost-effective for the long, hot summers. Our technicians will provide a clear diagnosis and honest recommendation.

Our comprehensive maintenance tune-up is designed for Hampton's climate. We thoroughly clean the condenser coil (vital for efficiency in summer heat), check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components, calibrate thermostats, and ensure the entire system is operating safely and at peak performance. This proactive service can catch small issues before they lead to a complete breakdown on the hottest day of the year.

In Hampton, a failing reversing valve—which switches your system between heating and cooling—often shows as the system being stuck in one mode. You might have AC when you want heat, or vice versa. Other signs include unusual hissing noises, reduced heating or cooling capacity, or the system constantly running without reaching the set temperature. If you notice these issues, our technicians can diagnose and repair or replace the valve to restore proper function.
