If you could look at the readings, you would see most failures coming a season in advance. A capacitor measuring 8 percent under its rating in spring is the one that fails in the first heat wave. A system bleeding refrigerant through a pinhole leak keeps running, weaker each week, until the coil freezes solid. A furnace flame sensor fouls slowly and then shuts the furnace down on a frigid night. Maintenance is built around this reality for Wilson, NC homeowners: find the problem while it is a trend, and fix it on a calm weekday rather than as a crisis.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for HVAC Maintenance
Spotting the early warning signs lets you act before the problem gets expensive. These are the signals our technicians see most often:
- Higher heating and cooling costs with no clear explanation
- Recently installed equipment whose manufacturer expects maintenance records
- The house taking longer to reach the temperature you set
- 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 surprise breakdown during the last hot or cold spell
- The system sounds different at startup than it did last season
- Musty air when the fan starts, or a filter that has been in far too long
Act Before It Gets Worse
