When an AC starts acting up, most homeowners wait - hoping it's just a fluke. That waiting usually turns into a bigger problem. We got the call on this Lennox system in Keizer and showed up ready to dig in and find out exactly what was going on.
First thing we do on a diagnostic call like this is a full inspection of both the outdoor condenser and the indoor air handler. The condenser coils on this unit were heavily caked with debris and buildup - the kind of grime that blocks airflow and forces the system to work way harder than it should. A dirty condenser coil is one of the most common reasons a system loses cooling capacity, and it's something a lot of people don't think to check.
Inside, the Lennox furnace and air handler were also part of our inspection. You can see the service record card on the unit - we document everything. That paper trail matters because it tells the full story of how a system has been maintained over time. It also helps us spot patterns and catch problems before they turn into failures.
After the diagnostic, we got to work - panels off, coils cleaned, system checked top to bottom. This is what HVAC maintenance is supposed to look like. It's not just swapping a filter and calling it good. It's a thorough look at every component that affects how well your system runs.
The goal is always the same: get your comfort back and keep the system running reliably. Don't wait for a complete breakdown to call. Catching issues early almost always saves money and headaches down the road.
