Teko Mechanical - Waukesha's Emergency HVAC Repair

Common signs include rising energy bills, uneven heating or cooling, strange noises (like banging or rattling), frequent cycling on and off, and the system struggling to maintain temperature during our cold winters or humid summers. For older systems, a repair might be a temporary fix, but a replacement often improves efficiency and reliability significantly, saving you money long-term.

Clogged condensate drains are a frequent issue in our area due to algae, mold, and mineral buildup in the drain line from regular use, especially during humid summer months. This can cause water leaks and system shutdowns. Prevention includes scheduling annual maintenance where we flush the drain line with a safe cleaning solution. Homeowners can also occasionally pour a cup of distilled vinegar down the accessible drain opening to help inhibit growth.

First, check your home's circuit breaker to ensure it hasn't tripped. Next, check and replace your system's air filter if it's dirty, as a severely clogged filter can cause the system to overheat and shut off. Also, ensure the outdoor unit (for AC) is clear of snow, leaves, or debris. If these simple steps don't resolve it, turn the system off and call us. Forcing a malfunctioning system can cause further damage.
