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 losing charge 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 Revere, MA homeowners: find the problem while it is a trend, and fix it on a calm weekday instead of in an emergency.
Most of our service calls are for 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. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- Filters you cannot remember changing, or a musty smell when the blower starts
- It has been more than a year since anyone opened the equipment
- The house taking longer to reach the temperature you set
- You simply have no idea what condition your equipment is actually in
- A surprise breakdown during the last hot or cold spell
- A startup sound that has changed since last year
- Higher heating and cooling costs with no clear explanation
- Recently installed equipment whose manufacturer expects maintenance records
Act Before It Gets Worse
Left unchecked, even a small fault or temperature swing often signals a system working its way toward a breakdown. At the first hint of a problem, call (339) 600-1325 for a fast inspection.
