Air Conditioning Repair and Installation in Portsmouth, VA
Installation, repair and maintenance for A/C systems, heat pumps and air handlers, from the family-run shop on Turnpike Road serving Portsmouth and Hampton Roads.
Chapter 01
What a struggling A/C sounds and feels like
An air conditioner rarely quits without warning. Most of the time it tells you first: a noise that was not there before, airflow that feels weaker than it used to, rooms that cool unevenly, an energy bill that crept up without a change in how you run the thermostat, the system cycling on and off more often than it should, or an odor when it kicks on.
Any one of those on its own is worth keeping an eye on. Two or three together, especially heading into a Hampton Roads summer, is worth a call before the system picks the hottest week of the year to actually fail.

Installation, repair, maintenance and heat pumps
We install, repair and maintain A/C systems, service and replace air handlers, and work on heat pumps as part of the same job, since a lot of homes in this area run a heat pump for both heating and cooling. Goodman is one of the brands we install, alongside whatever equipment already fits your ductwork and your home.
A repair call starts with actually diagnosing what is wrong rather than guessing at parts. Sometimes that is a quick fix. Other times the honest answer is that a system near the end of its life is better replaced than repaired again, and we will tell you which one it is.
Chapter 03
Keeping it running through the season
We recommend having your HVAC system serviced annually. A yearly check catches the small stuff, a dirty coil, a refrigerant level that has drifted, a part starting to wear, before it turns into a breakdown in August. Ask about the A/C warranties we have available when you call; new installations also carry our 1-year warranty.
Call (757) 250-2677 to schedule service or ask about a new system. We aim for service within 1-2 business days, with estimates as soon as the next day.
Fully licensed and insured, Goodman installs, and warranties available on top of the 1-year new installation warranty.
