AC and heating repair
Most calls start with a symptom: the AC runs all afternoon and the house never cools down, or the upstairs bedrooms stay hot while the living room is fine. We find the root cause by testing the system while it runs, under load, and checking four things: airflow, electrical, refrigerant and controls.
Rooms that won’t keep up get an airflow and duct check before anyone talks about new equipment. Sometimes the fix is in the ductwork, not the unit. Either way, we explain in plain words what failed and why, give you clear options before any work starts, and tell you honestly when a repair is a bad bet.
- AC running constantly but not cooling
- Some rooms hot or cold while others are fine
- Heater blowing cold air or shutting off early
- Tripped breakers, odd noises, or ice on the lines
Recent work in Porter: a zoned, variable-speed heat pump system
In August 2026 we installed a zoned, variable-speed heat pump system in a Porter home. In plain words, that’s a heat pump outside, a matched air handler inside, a zone panel with motorized dampers in the ductwork, and one smart thermostat that runs the zones, all designed to work together.
A system like that comes out of the same four steps as any replacement we plan: evaluating the old system, sizing to the home’s load, laying out the options, and a craftsman install. Here’s how we plan a system replacement.
Is a zoned system right for your home?
A zoned system uses one heat pump and one air handler. Dampers in the ducts open and close so each zone gets air when it needs it, and the thermostat controls the zones. Variable-speed equipment can run at lower speeds instead of only switching fully on or off.
Whether zoning fits depends on the home’s layout and load. We look at both during the system evaluation and give you options, not a pitch.
When replacement makes more sense
We plan the change — we don’t sell it. When repair stops making sense, replacement follows four steps, and you decide at each one. If you’re starting to think ahead, our guide to planning for a new system is a good place to begin.

My AC runs, but some rooms stay hot or cold. What do you check?
We start with airflow and the ductwork, then test the system under load: electrical, refrigerant and controls. Duct and airflow problems get checked before anyone suggests new equipment. Then we explain what we found and what your options are.
What is a zoned, variable-speed heat pump system, and when does it make sense?
It’s one heat pump and air handler for the house, with dampers in the ducts that open and close so each zone gets air when it needs it, and a thermostat that controls the zones. Variable-speed equipment can run at lower speeds instead of only on or off. Whether it makes sense depends on your home’s layout and load, which we look at during the system evaluation.
How do I know whether to repair or replace my AC?
We weigh the system’s age, condition and repair history, and whether it still fits the house. You get a straight answer, including when another repair is a bad bet. The choice is always yours.
