Almost every summer breakdown we run in Oxnard, CA was visible months earlier to anyone holding a meter. The capacitor that dies in July was already testing weak in April. The refrigerant charge drifts low through a pinhole leak and the system limps 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, while the repair is cheap and convenient instead of urgent and cold.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.

- A surprise breakdown during the last hot or cold spell
- A filter you cannot recall replacing, or a musty odor at blower startup
- The system sounds different at startup than it did last season
- You simply have no idea what condition your equipment is actually in
- Nobody has opened up the system in over a year
- Energy bills creeping up without any change in your habits
