If you could look at the readings, you would see most failures coming months ahead. 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. That is the whole point of maintenance for Redondo Beach, CA homeowners: find the problem while it is a trend, and fix it on a calm weekday rather than as a crisis.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.

- Filters you cannot remember changing, or a musty smell when the blower starts
- Your last professional tune-up was more than twelve months ago
