With record summer temperatures only a few months way, it\u2019s a perfectly good time to start preparing for heatwaves. We know that it\u2019s still February and temperatures are still frigid, but this is obviously going to change soon. And as many people say, the early bird gets the worm!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the worm in this case? Savings, efficiency, better cooling\u2026 you name it! It never hurts to plan early for hot temperatures in Virginia, and it definitely helps to be prepared for your next HVAC repair in Reston.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From leaking refrigerant to a broken blower motor, now might be the perfect time to get your air conditioner fixed up and ready to go so you\u2019re in a better place when the summer heat rolls around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Start With Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that one of the core components of our maintenance program is an<\/strong> inspection<\/strong>? This is part of what makes maintenance so powerful. Even if you\u2019re unsure of the state of your air conditioner, we can do a walkthrough around the system, inspect it under the hood, and let you know of any budding problems or issues that we detect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll finish up by cleaning the coils, adjusting the components, lubricating ball bearings, and showing you your options. Then, we\u2019ll let you make the best choice for your budget and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do a System Walkthrough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need a maintenance appointment to be a vigilant AC owner. Try taking a walk around your air conditioning technology to see if you can detect any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you see any worn-out components? Perhaps there are scrape marks or signs of damage on the outdoor cabinet of your AC. These can be signs that the rough winter weather took its toll on your technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From duct problems to issues with the system itself, sometimes it can be easy to notice when a problem exists. Then you can call us for repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember Last Year\u2019s Woes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most helpful tools when combatting a malfunctioning air conditioner is your memory. Only you will remember how powerful and efficient your air conditioner was last year so you can call for repairs when it doesn\u2019t quite meet the same demand this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, on the other hand, only you will remember just how frustrating and debilitating it was dealing with your malfunctioning system last year. Chances are likely that those problems didn\u2019t magically go away\u2013in fact, they\u2019re probably worse now. Do yourself a favor and get the system fixed before you need to rely on it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evaluate a Replacement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is your air conditioning system nearing its 10th or 12th birthday? Then its days are numbered. These systems are powerful and long-lasting, but they\u2019re not immortal. Forced-air HVAC systems like air conditioners and heat pumps are only realistically supposed to last between 10-15 years with routine maintenance and prompt repairs. Beyond that point, they can run up your bill and start frequently breaking down. This might be the perfect time to invest in a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
