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 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 Lawrence, KS 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.
When to Call for HVAC Maintenance in Lawrence
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Watch for these telltale signs:
- Musty air when the fan starts, or a filter that has been in far too long
- Cooling or heating that takes noticeably longer to reach the setpoint
- Recently installed equipment whose manufacturer expects maintenance records
- Nobody has opened up the system in over a year
- New noises when the equipment starts up
- Higher heating and cooling costs with no clear explanation
- A surprise breakdown during the last hot or cold spell
- Uncertainty about whether your system is in good shape or on borrowed time
