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 locks the system out on a frigid night. That is the whole point of maintenance for Peabody, MA 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. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
Signs You Need HVAC Maintenance in Peabody
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Keep an eye out for the following clues:

- The house taking longer to reach the temperature you set
- A startup sound that has changed since last year
- Recently installed equipment whose manufacturer expects maintenance records
- Musty air when the fan starts, or a filter that has been in far too long
- A breakdown last season that arrived with zero warning
- It has been more than a year since anyone opened the equipment
