Almost every summer breakdown we run in Valdosta, GA 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 struggles 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.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
Warning Signs for HVAC Maintenance
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call a professional:
- Musty air when the fan starts, or a filter that has been in far too long
- New noises when the equipment starts up
- A failure last year that seemed to come out of nowhere
- Cooling or heating that takes noticeably longer to reach the setpoint
- Utility bills rising even though nothing about your routine changed
- Uncertainty about whether your system is in good shape or on borrowed time
- Your last professional tune-up was more than twelve months ago
- A newer system whose warranty terms expect documented maintenance
