A Mineola homeowner contacted us for a spring air conditioning tune-up to prepare their system for the warmer months ahead. Our Family Air HVAC Services technician conducted a comprehensive inspection and testing of all system components.
During the maintenance visit, we discovered two important issues that needed attention. First, the run capacitor was operating at only 50% of its rated capacity according to the manufacturer's specifications. Second, we found several holes in the ductwork where animals had chewed through the material.
We immediately replaced the faulty capacitor to restore proper system operation. We also discussed a plan with the homeowner to replace the damaged ductwork to prevent energy loss and maintain good indoor air quality. The air conditioning system is currently running well after our repairs.
Regular spring maintenance helps catch these types of problems early, before they lead to bigger issues or system breakdowns during peak cooling season.
