Heating and air conditioning service built around Matthews
If your heat pumps and split-system air conditioning has started short cycling, blowing warm air or making a noise it never used to make, you are not alone — Matthews generates some of the highest call volume we handle in North Carolina. Humid coastal plains and cooler mountain areas create very different equipment needs within one state.
Around Matthews, condensate drainage is a recurring fault. Blocked drains and failed float switches cause more water damage claims here than actual refrigerant failures do.
Heating season here is December through February. A pre-season inspection catches cracked heat exchangers and failing igniters before the first real cold snap.

Matthews28106 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.
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 does a new system cost in Matthews?
A complete residential replacement in the 28106 area generally lands between $6,000 and $13,000 installed, depending on capacity, efficiency rating and how much ductwork has to be modified. We always perform a Manual J load calculation first, because an oversized unit costs more to buy and runs worse than a correctly sized one.
What causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In Matthews we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during May through September. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
How often should I change my filter in 28106?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Matthews 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.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
We do. A two-visit plan in North Carolina covers a spring cooling inspection and an autumn heating inspection, priority scheduling during peak weeks, discounted repairs and no diagnostic fee. Members rarely end up on the emergency list.
