Almost every summer breakdown we run in Pasco, WA was visible months earlier to anyone holding a meter. A run capacitor reads 8 percent under its rating in April and fails on the first 95-degree afternoon. The refrigerant charge drifts low through a pinhole leak and the system limps a full season before the coil finally freezes. A flame sensor fouls gradually until the furnace picks the coldest night of the year to start locking out. Maintenance exists to catch this arc early, while the repair is cheap and convenient instead of urgent and cold.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
Warning Signs for HVAC Maintenance
Spotting the early warning signs lets you act before the problem gets expensive. Watch for these telltale signs:
- A failure last year that seemed to come out of nowhere
- Higher heating and cooling costs with no clear explanation
- It has been more than a year since anyone opened the equipment
- A newer unit with warranty terms that call for regular professional service
- You simply have no idea what condition your equipment is actually in
- A startup sound that has changed since last year
- Musty air when the fan starts, or a filter that has been in far too long
- The house taking longer to reach the temperature you set
Early Action Saves Money
