A South Boston summer is no time to be without air conditioning. When July temperatures climb into the low 90s and the humidity hangs heavy along the Dan River, a house gets uncomfortable in a hurry. Strategic Heating & Air repairs central air conditioners and heat pumps throughout South Boston and Halifax County, and we're based right here in town so we can get to you.
We're locally and family owned and have kept homes cool here since 2009.
In our climate, the common culprits are low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor or contactor, a worn compressor or fan motor, a frozen evaporator coil, a clogged drain line, dirty coils, or a thermostat acting up. Heat and humidity work an air conditioner hard all season, which is why these parts wear out. We track down the real cause rather than just topping off refrigerant and sending you on your way.
We diagnose the system, explain what we find in plain language, and put the repair price in writing before we start. We stock common parts on the truck, so many repairs are handled in one visit. You'll always know the cost before we begin.
If your system is fairly new, a repair is usually the smart call. If it's a decade or more old, still runs on R-22 refrigerant, and the repair is a big one, we'll show you what a replacement would cost so you can decide with all the facts. Either way, you get a straight, honest recommendation.
Most summer breakdowns start as small issues a tune-up would have caught. A yearly check keeps your system efficient and far less likely to quit on the hottest day of the year. Our Preventive Maintenance Program covers it and gives agreement customers priority service when everyone else is calling too.
Why is my AC running but not cooling? It's often low refrigerant, a frozen coil, or a failed capacitor. We'll pin down which one.
Should I keep running it if it's freezing up? No. Turn it off so the coil can thaw, and call us. Running it iced up can damage the compressor.
Do you repair all brands? Yes, we service all major brands of central air and heat pumps.
