Loud banging on start-up (compressor slugging)

Heating and air conditioning service built around Matthews
Homeowners across Matthews call us when the system simply will not keep up. Humid coastal plains and cooler mountain areas create very different equipment needs within one state. That is why we staff a live dispatch line around the clock instead of routing you to a queue.
Local homeowners often run their system harder than the design intended, especially during May through September. That accelerates wear on contactors, capacitors and blower bearings.
We recommend two maintenance visits a year in North Carolina: one before May through September and one before December through February. It is the single highest-return thing a homeowner can do for equipment life.

Matthews28104 HVAC questions, answered
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in North Carolina is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
Do you handle ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. Ductless installations have grown quickly in North Carolina, particularly in older homes without existing ductwork. We service indoor heads, clean filters and drain lines, check line-set insulation and diagnose communication faults between heads and the outdoor unit.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Matthews is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
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.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Matthews 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 Matthews?
All of them. Our 28104 technicians are trained on Rheem, York, Trane, Lennox and essentially every other residential brand sold in North Carolina, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
