Timberline Construction & Remodeling - Arizona City's Top-Rated HVAC Repair

In our dry, dusty climate, the most common cause is a buildup of dust, algae, and debris from the air handler. We fix it by first locating the primary drain line, typically using a wet/dry vacuum to clear the blockage. For persistent issues, we may perform a thorough cleaning with a specialized brush and safe, EPA-approved biocides to prevent regrowth, ensuring your system drains properly and avoids water damage.

Signs include reduced cooling, longer run times, ice on the evaporator coil, and a hissing sound. If you suspect a leak, it's important to call us. Our repair involves using electronic leak detectors to pinpoint the exact location, repairing the leak—often by brazing the copper line—and then recharging the system with the precise amount of refrigerant specified by the manufacturer to restore peak efficiency and cooling power.

We recommend two key priorities: First, schedule a professional preventative maintenance visit before each cooling season. We'll clean the condensate drain, check refrigerant levels, and inspect all components. Second, change your air filter regularly—every 1-2 months during heavy use. This simple step reduces the dust entering your system, which is a primary contributor to both drain clogs and reduced efficiency.
