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 locks the system out on a frigid night. Maintenance is built around this reality for Lee's Summit, MO homeowners: find the problem while it is a trend, and fix it on a calm weekday rather than as a crisis.
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
Catching these issues early helps you avoid costly problems. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- Utility bills rising even though nothing about your routine changed
- Cooling or heating that takes noticeably longer to reach the setpoint
- Musty air when the fan starts, or a filter that has been in far too long
- A newer system whose warranty terms expect documented maintenance
- A breakdown last season that arrived with zero warning
- Your last professional tune-up was more than twelve months ago
- The system sounds different at startup than it did last season
- You simply have no idea what condition your equipment is actually in
