Keep Your Space Comfortable All Year

Heating and air conditioning service for homes and businesses in Richmond, Virginia.

You know how Richmond summers push your air conditioner hard, and how cold snaps in January test your heating system. Arctic HVAC & Mechanical, LLC works with homeowners and commercial property owners across Richmond who need systems that respond quickly, run quietly, and maintain consistent indoor temperatures even when outdoor conditions swing from one extreme to another.

We install, repair, and maintain heating and cooling systems built to handle Virginia's seasonal temperature swings. Whether you are replacing an aging unit that struggles to keep up, fixing a system that cycles on and off unpredictably, or maintaining equipment to avoid breakdowns during peak use, we assess your space, identify the root issue, and provide solutions that fit your building and your budget. Our work follows manufacturer guidelines and focuses on system efficiency, safe operation, and long-term comfort.

What Happens During Installation and Repair

When we arrive at your Richmond property, we start by evaluating your current system, ductwork, and thermostat setup. For new installations, we calculate load requirements, confirm electrical capacity, and position equipment where airflow and drainage work correctly. For repairs, we run diagnostics to pinpoint failing components, whether that means a compressor that no longer cycles properly, a blower motor that overheats, or refrigerant levels that have dropped below spec.

After the work is complete, you will notice rooms reach your set temperature faster, fewer hot or cold spots throughout your space, and quieter operation during startup and shutdown. Your monthly energy use often drops when a system runs at the efficiency it was designed for.

We handle both residential and commercial properties, and we work with existing systems as well as new installations. Maintenance visits include filter replacement, coil cleaning, and refrigerant checks to keep your system running between seasons. If a unit is beyond reasonable repair, we walk you through replacement options that match your heating and cooling needs without oversizing or underperforming.

You probably have a few questions before moving forward

People in Richmond often ask about timing, costs, and what to expect during service. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear.

How long does a typical HVAC installation take?
Most residential installations take between six and ten hours, depending on whether we are replacing an existing system or installing new ductwork. Commercial jobs vary based on building size and equipment complexity.
What should I do if my system stops working in the middle of summer?
Call us as soon as you notice the issue. We prioritize emergency repairs in Richmond and can often diagnose and fix common problems like capacitor failures or tripped breakers the same day.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my heating and cooling system?
We recommend service twice a year, once before cooling season and once before heating season. Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become expensive repairs and keeps your system running efficiently.
Why does my air conditioner run constantly but never cool the house down?
This usually means low refrigerant, a dirty evaporator coil, or a compressor that is failing. We test pressures, check airflow, and measure temperature drop across the coil to locate the problem.
Can you work on both gas and electric systems?
Yes. Arctic HVAC & Mechanical, LLC services and installs both gas furnaces and electric heat pumps, along with air conditioning units that pair with either type of heating system.

If your heating or cooling system is not keeping up with demand, or if you are planning a replacement before the next season hits, Arctic HVAC & Mechanical, LLC can assess your setup and provide options that work for your Richmond property.
