Question Answers

Why does my Falls Church HVAC system keep turning on and off quickly (short cycling)?

Short cycling is common here and often stems from an oversized unit, a dirty air filter or flame sensor, or refrigerant issues. It strains your system and increases bills. Our technicians perform a comprehensive diagnosis to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple cleaning, a thermostat calibration, or a discussion about system sizing—and provide a lasting fix to restore efficiency and comfort.

How can I prevent a clogged condensate drain from causing water damage in my home?

Our humid climate makes clogged drains a frequent issue. We recommend an annual HVAC maintenance visit, where we flush the condensate line with a safe cleaning solution and inspect the drain pan and safety switch. For proactive homeowners, we can also install a float switch as a safety backup to shut the system off if a clog occurs, preventing costly water damage to your ceilings or floors.
