Leaves and seeds from mature trees pack into condenser coils. Cleaning each spring keeps the AC at full capacity.
Furnaces in the post-war homes on the east side are often 15 to 20 years old. A major failure at that age usually points to replacement.
For Victorian homes in or near the landmark district, plan outdoor equipment out of view from the street.
For post-war homes, replace aging furnaces and ACs together so they’re matched.
