Common HVAC Problems We See in Kent
After 30 years of service calls across Litchfield County, we know what fails in each town. Kent has its own patterns — here's what we see most often:
Second Home Seasonal Failures
Homes closed for months develop refrigerant leaks from vibration, dead capacitors from sitting, and blocked flues from birds. Spring and fall startups need a real inspection.
High-End System Complexity
Kent properties often have zoned systems, radiant heat, or high-efficiency equipment that requires technicians who can read the documentation, not just swap parts.
Weekend Timing Pressure
You arrived Friday and heat's out. We understand the urgency and prioritize calls from people who drove up for the weekend.
Appalachian Trail Proximity
AT corridor properties have more wildlife contact — nesting in compressors and chewed wiring. Screen your outdoor unit before summer.
Kent second-home owners: before you leave at the end of fall, set your thermostat to 55° (not off) and make sure your propane or oil tank is full. A tank that empties over winter causes freeze damage that costs far more than the fuel to prevent it.
"We drove up to Kent on a Thursday expecting to host friends for the weekend. Heat was dead. I was expecting to scramble. Called Clearview, explained the situation, and they rearranged their Friday schedule to get to us by noon. Fixed the igniter, stayed to make sure everything was stable. Saved the whole weekend."
