Tundra Mechanical: Experienced HVAC Repair Serving Port Aransas, TX 78373

It very well could be. The reversing valve is crucial for your heat pump to change modes. Given our salty, humid air and frequent system use, these valves can become stuck or fail. Tundra Mechanical can diagnose this common local problem. We'll check for proper refrigerant charge and electrical signals to the valve. Often, a thorough cleaning or replacement of the valve gets your system back to efficiently handling both our mild winters and hot summers.

Absolutely. We prioritize emergency calls during extreme heat to protect your comfort and safety. A sudden failure is often due to a tripped capacitor, a frozen coil from low refrigerant, or an overworked compressor. Our technicians are equipped to diagnose and perform urgent repairs on-site to restore cooling as fast as possible, focusing on durable solutions that can withstand our peak summer temperatures.

Proactive, bi-annual maintenance is key. Before summer, we perform a detailed check including cleaning the outdoor coil (vital in our sandy, salty environment), testing the reversing valve operation, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring electrical components are secure. Before winter, we focus on the heat pump's heating efficiency. This service helps catch small issues like a sticking reversing valve or a weakening capacitor before they cause a full breakdown during our most demanding weather.
