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. Maintenance is built around this reality for Arlington, TX homeowners: find the problem while it is a trend, and fix it on a calm weekday rather than as a crisis.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.

- Nobody has opened up the system in over a year
- Recently installed equipment whose manufacturer expects maintenance records
- New noises when the equipment starts up
- Energy bills creeping up without any change in your habits
- You simply have no idea what condition your equipment is actually in
- Longer run times to get to the thermostat setting
