Why You Should Schedule A/C Maintenance Every Year
When summer comes to Greater Hartford, most homeowners are thinking about how to stay cool and save a buck. No matter the age, size, or efficiency of your A/C, having an HVAC professional perform maintenance just once a year can make a significant difference on both your comfort and your budget. We rely on our air conditioners for those dog days that are just too hot and humid – and nothing is worse on those days than an A/C breakdown. Most homeowners don’t get their A/C system serviced at the end of the season, but after running for that last, long summer season, clogged filters and other proper maintenance items will need attention for sure – especially after the system has been idle for 6 months. Keep reading this post from the experts Brothers Oil and Brothers Mechanical to learn the most common problems found during air conditioner maintenance.

Before the hottest days of summer get here, you’ll want to get your A/C serviced.

Some common problems we come across during our service calls include:
- Clogged condensate line
- Debris build-up in outdoor coil fins restricting airflow
- Failed capacitor in the outdoor unit
- Rodent damage to wiring in the outdoor unit
- Leaking outdoor coil due to damage or wear and tear
- Damage to the outdoor unit due to fallen ice
- Failed fan/blower motor at the air handler or outdoor unit
