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 locks the system out on a frigid night. Maintenance is built around this reality for Sugar Land, TX 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. Start there if your system isn't running right.
