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. That is the whole point of maintenance for Cheyenne, WY 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.
Warning Signs for HVAC Maintenance
Catching these issues early helps you avoid costly problems. Watch for these telltale signs:
- The house taking longer to reach the temperature you set
- No real sense of how healthy your heating and cooling equipment is
- A newer system whose warranty terms expect documented maintenance
- Musty air when the fan starts, or a filter that has been in far too long
- Energy bills creeping up without any change in your habits
- A failure last year that seemed to come out of nowhere
- A startup sound that has changed since last year
- Nobody has opened up the system in over a year
Early Action Saves Money
A failing capacitor, clogged condensate drain, or dirty flame sensor rarely fixes itself and usually gets more expensive to address the longer it runs. Call (307) 204-7915 at the first sign of trouble.
