Why are my upstairs or back rooms always warmer?

Cooling lost through attic ductwork and uneven duct sizing are the usual causes in this area. Sealing and insulating attic runs, plus balancing airflow, generally does more than replacing equipment.

My heat pump blows warm air in summer. What is wrong?

Check that the thermostat is set to COOL rather than HEAT or EMERGENCY HEAT. If the setting is correct, a reversing valve, control or charge problem may be at fault and needs to be measured.

Do you take service requests after hours here?

Yes. Requests are accepted 24 hours a day for the whole Gainesville area, including overnight and weekends. Call 352-707-8045 and describe what the system is doing.

Frequent repairs

Attic drain overflows

Clogged condensate lines above finished ceilings, usually caught by a float switch — or not.

Capacitor and contactor failures

Common on units that have accumulated many summers of run time.

Heat pump control issues

Reversing valve and thermostat configuration problems that show up as wrong-mode operation.

Duct heat gain

Upstairs and far rooms running warm because cooling is lost in hot attic ductwork.

Coil fouling

Both indoor and outdoor coils gathering debris after long seasons.

Aging blower motors

Airflow slowly declining as motors and wheels wear and load with dust.

Getting the most from a service call

Know whether your system is a heat pump or a straight air conditioner.
Check whether the attic access is clear so the air handler can be reached.
Note whether some rooms are worse than others.
Mention any ceiling stains, even old ones.
Have the equipment model and serial number ready for warranty checks.
Say whether the problem is constant or comes and goes with time of day.
