Heating and air conditioning service built around Markham
Humid tidewater summers and colder mountain winters mean equipment needs vary sharply across the state. Across the 22643 area that translates into a steady stream of failed capacitors, clogged filters, dying blower motors and refrigerant leaks — most of which we can diagnose and repair in one visit.
A large share of the equipment we service in Markham was installed by a builder to a minimum spec. That usually means an undersized return, a cheap filter rack and a condenser sitting close to a wall.
Because Virginia runs heat pumps and gas furnaces with central air, the transition between seasons is when we see the most emergency calls — equipment that sat unused for months.

Markham22643 HVAC questions, answered
Why is my furnace short cycling?
Short cycling in Markham 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.
What brands do you service in Markham?
All of them. Our 22643 technicians are trained on American Standard, Goodman, Lennox, Rheem and essentially every other residential brand sold in Virginia, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
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.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Markham 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.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 22643?
A diagnostic visit in Markham 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.
How often should I change my filter in 22643?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Markham with pets, ongoing construction nearby, or a high-MERV filter in an undersized return should move to monthly changes. A loaded filter is the single most common cause of frozen coils and failed blower motors.
