We have an educational moment at hand!

What excessive expense could one expect from the lack of what periodic
maintenance done by a professional?


Compressor failing as evidenced by amp draw, outdoor fan motor failing
as evidenced by amp draw, capacitor failing as evidenced by micro
farad reading, system leaking refrigerant as evidenced by low
refrigerant pressure, contactor ready to short as evidenced by all the
bugs crawling around in the system, indoor coil icing up because
homeowner never changes filter...


Especially if they have long haired pets that shed a lot.
It's not just the evaporator that gets clogged up. For
some reason or other, furry critters like lounge around the
condensing unit too.
