Common Residential Cooling Problems We Solve in West Virginia
Residential HVAC System Efficiency & Fault Detection
A 2019 study looks at methods for evaluating operational efficiency in residential HVAC systems and notes that many fault-detection approaches are traditionally focused on commercial buildings, which can make residential diagnosis more challenging.
Why Is My Air Conditioner Not Blowing Cold Air?
- Dirty Air Filters: When filters clog, airflow drops and the system can’t cool effectively.
- Low Refrigerant Levels: Not enough refrigerant prevents the unit from producing cold air.
- Faulty Thermostat: A bad thermostat can stop the system from running when it should.
Residential AC Refrigerant Charge Diagnostics Research from 2002 evaluates superheat-based methods for diagnosing refrigerant charge in residential units and highlights the limits of those techniques when used on smaller systems.
How Can I Identify Signs of AC Failure and Uneven Cooling?
- Hot Spots: Rooms that stay warm even with the AC running.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, rattling, or hissing often point to mechanical faults.
- Increased Energy Bills: A sudden jump in costs can mean the system is working harder than it should.
Residential Cooling Systems We Install & Service for West Virginia Homes
What Are the Benefits of Central Air Conditioners, Heat Pumps, and Mini-Split Systems?
| System Type | Benefits | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Central Air | Efficient for larger homes; delivers even, whole-house cooling | Requires existing ductwork or a duct installation |
| Heat Pumps | Heats and cools efficiently; great year-round performance in moderate climates | Efficiency can fall in extreme cold — check model specs for your area |
| Mini-Split Systems | Flexible zone control and no ductwork needed; ideal for additions or older homes | Higher upfront cost but can save on ductwork expenses |
How Do Energy Efficiency Ratings Impact Home Cooling Choices?
- SEER 14–16: Solid efficiency for moderate climates and many existing installations.
- SEER 17–20+: Top-tier efficiency that delivers bigger savings over the equipment’s life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common causes of poor air conditioning performance?
Poor performance usually comes from restricted airflow (dirty filters or blocked vents), low refrigerant, failing components, or thermostat issues. Regular maintenance and timely repairs from UKV HVAC address most of these causes and keep the system running as designed.
How can I tell if my air conditioning system is energy-efficient?
Check the unit’s SEER rating and look for ENERGY STAR certification. Higher SEER numbers mean better efficiency. Proper maintenance, good insulation, and correct sizing also play big roles in overall efficiency, all of which UKV HVAC can advise on.
What should I consider when choosing a new cooling system for my home?
Think about home size, existing ductwork, your budget, and local climate. Compare system types (central air, heat pump, mini-split), check SEER ratings, and factor in installation and long-term operating costs. A professional assessment from UKV HVAC helps match the right system to your home.
How can I improve indoor air quality while using my AC?
Change or clean filters regularly, consider upgraded filtration or air purifiers, and ensure proper ventilation. Controlling humidity with a dehumidifier and keeping vents clear also improves indoor air quality. UKV HVAC can recommend solutions for your home.
What are the benefits of upgrading to a smart thermostat?
Smart thermostats let you set schedules, control temperature remotely, and learn usage patterns to save energy. They improve comfort and often reduce utility bills by optimizing runtime based on your routine. UKV HVAC can assist with smart thermostat installation.
What should I do if my AC unit is leaking water?
Turn off the system, check for a clogged condensate drain, and clear any visible debris. A leaking AC can also indicate a failing pump or low refrigerant — if basic checks don’t stop the leak, call a UKV HVAC technician immediately to prevent water damage and mold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my air conditioner not blowing cold air?
Low refrigerant levels, dirty air filters, frozen evaporator coils, or thermostat issues could be the cause. Our technicians can diagnose and fix the problem quickly.
How often should my HVAC system be serviced?
We recommend professional maintenance twice a year—once in spring for your AC and once in fall for your heating system—to ensure optimal performance and prevent breakdowns.
What size HVAC system do I need for my home?
System size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, ceiling height, and climate zone. Our experts perform load calculations to determine the perfect fit for maximum efficiency.
How long does an HVAC system typically last?
With proper maintenance, furnaces last 15-20 years, air conditioners 10-15 years, and heat pumps 10-15 years. Regular service extends equipment lifespan significantly.
Is it worth upgrading to a smart thermostat?
Yes! Smart thermostats can reduce energy bills by 10-23% through automated scheduling, remote control, and learning your preferences. Most homeowners see ROI within 2 years.
What are the signs I need a new HVAC system?
Frequent repairs, rising energy bills, uneven temperatures, excessive noise, system age over 15 years, or using R-22 refrigerant are all indicators it’s time to replace.
