HVAC Inspection and Preventative Repair Services Philadelphia

In addition to quick and thorough HVAC repair services, Lightning Mechanical also provides inspection and preventative repair services. If you have a heating or cooling system that isn't operating at 100 percent, we can find out why and addresses minor issues before they cost you an overhaul.

Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Inspection

We inspect all components of your HVAC system to determine what is causing the problems at hand. We will identify any worn parts or faulty wiring by thoroughly examining your entire unit. Our skilled technicians will go through your heat pumps, heat exchangers, control machinery, refrigerant level, and thermostats to undertake a comprehensive audit of your air conditioning system.

If our technicians find anything, you'll be given two options for making the necessary repairs:

• Replacing old parts with new ones - This type of repair can help extend the life of your unit and cost less than a full-scale overhaul.
• Replacing the entire system - If you're looking to upgrade your HVAC system, we can replace old parts with new ones that will be more energy-efficient and effective at emitting heat or cooling as appropriate.

Either way, the service call should leave you more knowledgeable as to the state of your air conditioner and the risks it might incur.

Preventative Repair Services for Your Heating or Cooling System in Philadelphia

At Lightning Mechanical, we provide preventative repair services for heating and cooling systems to ensure their optimal performance. One common issue that can arise is a clogged filter, which can lead to decreased efficiency, poor air quality, and increased noise. Unlike other contractors who may simply replace a faulty filter, our technicians at Lightning Mechanical Services are trained to troubleshoot the underlying cause of the filter's condition. We understand that AC unit filters have specific service lives, and changing them too early or too late can indicate deeper underlying problems. We recommend addressing these issues to prevent further damage to your system.

How much does it typically cost to repair an HVAC system in Philadelphia?

The cost to repair an HVAC system can vary widely depending on several factors. These include the specific nature of the problem, the age and type of your system, the cost of replacement parts, and labor charges. Minor repairs, such as replacing a thermostat or a capacitor, tend to be less expensive, while major repairs, like replacing a compressor or an entire unit, can be more costly.

What should I look for in a reliable HVAC repair service?

Essentially, repair is reactive, addressing problems after they occur, while maintenance is proactive, aiming to prevent issues from arising in the first place.
