HVAC Repair, Installation, & More in Torrance
Several signs could tell you that your comfort unit needs repairs. For example, it may shut down before completing its cycle. You may hear continual rattling, banging, or hissing noises. Also, check your monthly bill. If it’s going up even though you haven’t altered your schedule, then the system is running inefficiently.
An expert technician can diagnose the issue and give you a no-obligation estimate for the cost of repairs. Sometimes, the repair involves changing out some wiring or cleaning dirt and grime off coils or burners. Other times, there may be a failing motor or another costly issue. In such cases, it may be better to replace the whole system.
There are many systems to choose from, including:
- Traditional ducted heat pumps
- Gas, oil, and electric furnaces
- Packaged systems (heat pumps and furnaces)
- Ductless heat pumps, or mini-splits
Before replacing, consider your current system’s age. Ducted heat pumps and gas furnaces can last 15 years with maintenance, while oil and electric furnaces last about 25 years. Mini-splits can last up to three decades. We can repair your system quickly, but if it’s more economical to replace, we will give our honest expert recommendation. During the replacement consultation, our technicians will consider all the technical details, such as your home’s size and rate of heat loss. This will keep you from getting an oversized or undersized unit.
Experts recommend maintenance twice a year: once in spring for ACs and once in fall for heaters. These professional tune-ups take only one to two hours to complete. You can help keep your system running smoothly by changing the air filter approximately every three months, though some households may require more frequent changes, such as those with pets or smokers.
Tune-ups include the following and more:
- Parts cleaning and lubrication
- An electrical wiring assessment
- A check of switches and relays
- Start-up check and airflow testing
