Frozen evaporator coil or ice on the refrigerant lines

Refrigerant leak at a flare or coil connection
Yellow or orange burner flame instead of steady blue
Heat pump stuck blowing cold air in heating mode
Outdoor condenser humming but the fan not turning
Heating and air conditioning service built around Charleston
We treat 25364 as a dedicated service zone. Mountain terrain and high humidity drive demand for correctly sized equipment rather than maximum capacity. Because the equipment here works hard for a long season, we lean heavily on catch-it-early diagnostics rather than emergency replacements.
Because West Virginia swings between seasons quickly, a lot of our Charleston calls come in the first hot or cold snap of the year — systems that sat idle for months and then get asked to run flat out.
If your system is over ten years old and you have had two repairs in the last two seasons, a replacement comparison is usually worth running even if the current unit still runs.

Charleston25364 HVAC questions, answered
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 25364?
A diagnostic visit in Charleston typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
Why is my furnace short cycling?
Short cycling in Charleston most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
Is my carbon monoxide risk something I should worry about?
With any combustion appliance, yes. A cracked heat exchanger can spill carbon monoxide into the living space, and it is odourless. We perform combustion analysis and a CO test on every furnace and boiler call in Charleston, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Charleston we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
What brands do you service in Charleston?
All of them. Our 25364 technicians are trained on York, American Standard, Lennox, Mitsubishi Electric and essentially every other residential brand sold in West Virginia, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
