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. That is the whole point of maintenance for Bristol, TN 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.
