Top HVAC Issues in Sacramento Homes (and How to Prevent Them)

From clogged filters to low refrigerant, HVAC issues are more common than you think—especially in Sacramento’s mix of hot summers and chilly winters. Knowing what to watch out for can save you a lot of money and stress. Regular maintenance and early detection are key—schedule a tune-up with Aerotech to catch these issues before they escalate. Here are the top problems we see in local homes:

Dirty filters

They restrict airflow, which strains your system and increases your energy usage.

Low refrigerant

Without enough refrigerant, your AC can’t effectively cool your home.

Faulty thermostats

An unreliable thermostat means inconsistent temperatures and wasted energy.

Electrical issues

Bad wiring or worn-out components can lead to system failure or fire hazards.

Drainage problems

A clogged drain line can cause water to leak and damage nearby areas.

Worn-out blower motors

If your blower motor is failing, it can’t properly circulate air throughout your home.
