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 shuts the furnace down on a frigid night. Maintenance is built around this reality for St. George, UT 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. Start there if your system isn't running right.

- No real sense of how healthy your heating and cooling equipment is
- Recently installed equipment whose manufacturer expects maintenance records
- Your last professional tune-up was more than twelve months ago
- A filter you cannot recall replacing, or a musty odor at blower startup
- A surprise breakdown during the last hot or cold spell
- The house taking longer to reach the temperature you set
