Almost every summer breakdown we run in Huntsville, AL was visible months earlier to anyone holding a meter. A run capacitor reads 8 percent under its rating in April and fails on the first 95-degree afternoon. The refrigerant charge drifts low through a pinhole leak and the system struggles a full season before the coil finally freezes. A flame sensor fouls gradually until the furnace picks the coldest night of the year to start locking out. Maintenance exists to catch this arc early, when the fix is a scheduled part swap instead of an emergency call.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.

- A failure last year that seemed to come out of nowhere
- Nobody has opened up the system in over a year
