Winton Suber Heating & Air Conditioning - Quincy's Local HVAC Services

The extreme and prolonged heat in our area puts continuous strain on your AC's electrical components. The capacitor, which helps start the compressor and fan motors, works much harder during our long cooling seasons. This constant stress, combined with power surges common in summer storms, can lead to premature failure. Regular professional maintenance can help spot a weakening capacitor before it fails completely.

This is a common issue in Quincy. Often, it's due to a combination of factors exacerbated by high temperatures: low refrigerant levels from a slow leak, a dirty or blocked condenser coil outside reducing efficiency, or an overworked compressor struggling in extreme heat. It's best to have a technician diagnose the specific cause, as running an underperforming system in peak heat can lead to more serious and costly damage.

A comprehensive pre-season maintenance tune-up is crucial. We'll clean the condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components like capacitors and contactors, ensure the thermostat is calibrated, and clear drain lines. This proactive service helps your system run efficiently, prevents breakdowns on the hottest days, and can extend the life of your equipment, saving you money and discomfort during our demanding summers.
