Tappen Heating & Air Conditioning Company | Professional HVAC Services in Waynesboro, MS

Yes, that's a classic sign of a failing reversing valve, a common issue in our area. This valve is crucial for switching your system between heating and cooling modes. Our technicians will first perform a diagnostic to confirm the valve is the culprit. If a repair isn't possible, we'll replace the valve with a high-quality, compatible part to restore your system's proper heating function efficiently and reliably.

In Waynesboro, with our local dust and pollen levels, we generally recommend checking your filter every month and replacing standard 1-inch filters every 30-60 days. A clogged filter is one of the most frequent causes of poor airflow, frozen coils, and system strain. During peak summer or winter use, more frequent checks are wise. We're happy to advise on the best filter type for your home during a maintenance visit.

Our preventative maintenance visit is designed to catch problems early, especially those common here like valve issues and airflow restrictions. We thoroughly clean system components, check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, inspect the heat pump's reversing valve operation, and of course, check and replace your air filter. This proactive care improves efficiency, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and extends the life of your system.
