If you could look at the readings, you would see most failures coming months ahead. 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. That is the whole point of maintenance for Evansville, IN homeowners: find the problem while it is a trend, and fix it on a calm weekday instead of in an emergency.
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. These are the signals our technicians see most often:
- Utility bills rising even though nothing about your routine changed
- Uncertainty about whether your system is in good shape or on borrowed time
- A failure last year that seemed to come out of nowhere
- Longer run times to get to the thermostat setting
- Nobody has opened up the system in over a year
- Musty air when the fan starts, or a filter that has been in far too long
- New noises when the equipment starts up
- Recently installed equipment whose manufacturer expects maintenance records
Act Before It Gets Worse
Most HVAC failures start small, a weak capacitor, a squealing blower, a system that runs a little longer each week. At the first hint of a problem, call (812) 203-4231 for a fast inspection.
