Spring HVAC Maintenance in Blanchard, OK

When it comes to keeping your home cool and comfortable, spring HVAC maintenance is one of the most important steps you can take. Recently, our team at Yarbrough & Sons Heating, Cooling & Plumbing performed a detailed spring maintenance visit for a homeowner in Blanchard, OK, uncovering a few hidden issues that could have caused major problems down the line.

🔍 What We Found During the Spring Maintenance Visit

Our thorough inspection revealed several concerns:

• Flame rollout inside the furnace burners:
  We found evidence that flames had traveled backwards into the inshot burners, a potential safety issue. Although we attempted to replicate the behavior, no issues occurred during cycling. We still made sure to show and explain everything to the homeowner.
• Very dirty condenser coil:
  The outdoor unit’s condenser coil was heavily coated in debris, restricting airflow and reducing efficiency. We fully cleaned the coil with water to restore proper operation.
• Oil leak from the condenser fan motor bearing:
  Leaking oil was visible around the condenser fan motor, a sign of bearing wear that could eventually lead to motor failure. We brought this concern to the homeowner’s attention.
• Low refrigerant charge:
  Our pressure readings showed the unit was undercharged, suggesting a refrigerant leak somewhere in the system.

🛠 What We Did to Fix It

After walking the homeowner through the findings, we took immediate action:

✔ Cleaned the condenser coil to improve airflow and system efficiency
✔ Added 1 pound of R-410A refrigerant to bring system pressures back within manufacturer specifications
✔ Adjusted system performance:

• Subcooling rose to 9°, right within the recommended range of 8° ± 3°
• Superheat dropped to 14°, confirming better refrigerant management
  ✔ Injected UV dye into the system to help detect the exact location of any leaks during a future follow-up visit

We also coordinated with the homeowner to set up additional appointments for leak detection and any necessary repairs.

✅ Why Spring Maintenance Matters

Spring is the ideal time to catch HVAC issues before they lead to bigger, more expensive problems during the peak of summer. During a routine maintenance visit, we can:

• Identify hidden system issues early
• Restore efficiency and lower utility bills
• Prevent emergency breakdowns during the hottest days of the year
• Extend the lifespan of your HVAC system

Routine maintenance also gives you peace of mind that your home will stay comfortable and your system will run safely all season long.
