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 College Station, TX homeowners: find the problem while it is a trend, and fix it on a calm weekday instead of in an emergency.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
