Another system back up and running in the Montagne Court subdivision of Little Rock today.

The homeowner had been experiencing cooling issues, and after diagnosing the system, I found a failed TXV (thermal expansion valve). One of the contributing factors was that the previous installation was not brazed with nitrogen. When copper lines are brazed without nitrogen flowing through the system, oxidation forms inside the tubing. Over time, those contaminants can travel through the refrigerant circuit and cause restrictions or damage to components like the TXV.

I replaced the failed TXV, installed a new filter drier, pressure tested the system, pulled a deep vacuum, and verified proper operation before leaving.

Attention to installation details matters. Small shortcuts during installation can lead to expensive repairs down the road.

Thank you to the homeowners in Little Rock for trusting Sensible Heat & Air.

🚨 Hidden Problem, Big Impact 🚨

This evaporator coil was completely covered in buildup, restricting airflow and reducing system performance. When coils get this dirty, your HVAC system has to work harder, run longer, and use more energy just to keep your home comfortable.

A dirty coil can lead to:
❌ Reduced cooling capacity
❌ Higher electric bills
❌ Frozen coils
❌ Premature equipment failure

The good news? Regular maintenance can help prevent costly breakdowns and keep your system running efficiently all summer long.

If your air conditioner isn't cooling like it should, it may be time for a professional inspection.

☀️ Summer is here, and your air conditioner is working harder than ever!

Over the last week, I've responded to several no-cooling calls across Central Arkansas. The causes have ranged from:

🔹 Low refrigerant from leaks
🔹 Dirty coils and restricted airflow
🔹 Failed blower and condenser motors
🔹 Bad capacitors
🔹 Aging ductwork causing comfort issues

Many of these problems started small but became major headaches once temperatures climbed.

If your system is struggling to keep up, making unusual noises, running constantly, or your electric bill is climbing, now is the time to have it checked before a complete breakdown occurs.

At Sensible Heat & Air, I provide honest recommendations, thorough diagnostics, and repair options that fit your budget.

🚨 Saturday HVAC Tip 🚨

This 20x25x1 filter was restricting airflow and making the system work harder than necessary.

A dirty filter can cause:
❌ Higher electric bills
❌ Reduced cooling performance
❌ Frozen evaporator coils
❌ Premature blower motor failure

Check your filter every 30 days and replace it when needed. It's one of the simplest ways to protect your HVAC system and improve comfort in your home.

The temperatures are heating up in Bryant, Arkansas and so are the no-cooling calls.

Over the last several days, we’ve seen a wide range of issues including:
• Low refrigerant levels
• Restricted airflow
• Failed blower and condenser fan motors
• Dirty coils
• Aging and damaged ductwork

Many systems will seem “fine” during mild weather, but once those 90° days hit, hidden issues start showing up fast.

If your system is struggling to keep up, making unusual noises, running constantly, or not cooling evenly, now is the time to get it checked before a complete breakdown happens.

At Sensible Heat and Air, we focus on honest diagnostics, quality repairs, and helping homeowners understand what’s really going on with their system.

Another tough one today in Bryant, Arkansas. The homeowner called because the system wasn’t cooling properly, and after inspection I found the Carrier system extremely low on refrigerant which caused the evaporator coil to completely freeze up.

Before I could properly diagnose the issue, I had to wait nearly 2 hours for the ice to melt off the coil. Once thawed out, I used my Fieldpiece leak detector to perform a complete leak search — a service I include with my diagnostic fee (a $300 value).

Unfortunately, I found the evaporator coil leaking in 2 separate spots.

At this time, the customer decided to add refrigerant to get the system running temporarily and requested repair options and replacement quotes. The bad news is the replacement coil is currently on back order until July 6.

This is one of the reasons routine maintenance and early diagnostics matter. Small refrigerant leaks can eventually lead to frozen coils, poor airflow, higher utility bills, and compressor damage if left unchecked.

If your system is struggling to keep up, freezing up, or not cooling like it should, give Sensible Heat and Air a call before it turns into a bigger problem.
