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. That is the whole point of maintenance for Cleveland, OH 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. These are the signals our technicians see most often:
- The house taking longer to reach the temperature you set
- A failure last year that seemed to come out of nowhere
- Utility bills rising even though nothing about your routine changed
- A newer unit with warranty terms that call for regular professional service
- Musty air when the fan starts, or a filter that has been in far too long
- You simply have no idea what condition your equipment is actually in
- A startup sound that has changed since last year
- Nobody has opened up the system in over a year
