Most AC problems Newport News HVAC sees on newer systems begin on installation day. An oversized unit cycles on and off too quickly to dry the air, so a Newport News, VA home ends up cold and damp. An undersized unit runs flat-out through every heat wave and still falls behind. Either way, the equipment never reaches the efficiency on its label. We prevent that from the start: a real load calculation built from your home's size, insulation, windows, sun exposure, and duct system, not a rule of thumb or the tonnage of the unit being replaced. It is the first step toward a system that performs for fifteen years.
Most of our service calls are for AC Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.
Warning Signs for AC Installation
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Watch for these telltale signs:
- The AC runs constantly on hot days and never reaches the setpoint
- An air conditioner that is twelve to fifteen years old or older
- An older unit that runs on phased-out R-22
- A major repair, like a dead compressor or leaking evaporator, on aging equipment
- Cooling bills climbing every summer while comfort declines
- Hot spots and warm rooms the AC can never catch up with
- Repair bills arriving more often and getting bigger each time
- Rooms that feel cool but clammy, often a sign the unit is oversized
