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 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 Hartford, CT 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.
When to Call for HVAC Maintenance in Hartford
Spotting the early warning signs lets you act before the problem gets expensive. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- Higher heating and cooling costs with no clear explanation
- It has been more than a year since anyone opened the equipment
- A filter you cannot recall replacing, or a musty odor at blower startup
- A failure last year that seemed to come out of nowhere
- No real sense of how healthy your heating and cooling equipment is
- The house taking longer to reach the temperature you set
- A newer unit with warranty terms that call for regular professional service
- New noises when the equipment starts up
