Spring HVAC Maintenance

I've stated on here before the importance of doing twice-a-year preventative maintenance on your HVAC system. About a month ago I had the local company we've used for years, James River Air*, out for the spring check up on our air conditioning system. During the course of the visit the technician discovered a problem with the capacitor on our outside condenser unit. Had it not been caught when it was it would have failed in the near future resulting in a miserable wait in the heat for a service visit to repair it.


This is the second time over the years these preventative maintenance visits have caught issues
ahead of time. I also have to believe it's prevented additional problems from occurring. It's a good reminder of the need to have it done and that it's not wasted money to do so.

*I make nothing off the link above but I've used them for years and recommend them. The handful of times I've had issues with service they've been quick to make it right. They even sent my mother flowers after she had to postpone a scheduled HVAC replacement after my father died unexpectedly in 2007. They're a good company with good people.
