Trusted Heating Cooling Near Youngstown Ohio - Girard's Professional HVAC Repair

Yes, that's a classic sign of a reversing valve issue, which is common here due to our heavy seasonal use. The valve directs refrigerant flow to change modes. We'll diagnose the specific cause—whether it's electrical failure, a stuck valve, or debris—and perform the necessary repair or replacement to restore proper function, ensuring your system can handle our Ohio temperature swings.

Frozen coils are often caused by restricted airflow or low refrigerant, problems exacerbated by our local humidity. A dirty air filter, blocked vents, or a failing blower motor can reduce airflow, causing the coil to drop below freezing and ice over. We'll perform a comprehensive check of airflow, refrigerant levels, and system components to solve the root cause and prevent recurrence.

We recommend bi-annual maintenance—once in spring for cooling and once in fall for heating. This includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant charge, testing the reversing valve's operation, inspecting electrical components, and ensuring proper airflow. This proactive care is crucial for our climate, as it catches small issues before they lead to valve failures or frozen coils, saving you from discomfort and costly repairs.
