Most AC problems Florissant HVAC sees on newer systems trace back to installation day. An oversized unit cycles on and off too quickly to dry the air, so a Florissant, MO 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. Our fix is simple: 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. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
Warning Signs for AC Installation
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Watch for these telltale signs:
- A major repair, like a dead compressor or leaking evaporator, on aging equipment
- An AC that cannot keep up on the hottest days, no matter how long it runs
- Repair calls that keep coming, with bigger bills every time
- Summer energy bills that keep rising as comfort drops
- The system still uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant
- The house feels cold but sticky, a classic sign of oversizing
- An air conditioner that is twelve to fifteen years old or older
- The house cools unevenly, with hot rooms the system never conquers
