87% of A/C Breakdowns Are Preventable — Here’s How to Avoid Them


When your air conditioner breaks down in the middle of a hot Dayton summer, it’s more than inconvenient—it’s miserable. But what if we told you most A/C failures never had to happen in the first place? At JBH Heating and Air, our service data shows that 87% of air conditioner breakdowns could have been prevented with a routine clean and check. That’s not a sales pitch—it’s a fact.

So what the Most Common (and Preventable) A/C Failures?

In the heat and humidity of Dayton, during our repair calls, we see the same issues over and over—issues that likely could’ve been caught and resolved early with simple seasonal maintenance:

  1. Bad capacitors – One of the most common reasons for emergency A/C repairs. These are easily tested and replaced during a clean and check.

  2. Low refrigerant levels – Often due to a slow leak. Left unchecked, it strains your system until it fails.

  3. 3.Clogged condensate drains – These cause system shut-offs and even water damage. A clogged condensate drain can cause thousands of dollars of damage to components of the furnace or the surrounding areas if left unchecked.

  4. Dirty coils – Dust and grime reduce your system’s efficiency, leading to overheating and breakdowns.

Why A/C Clean and Checks Matter!

Think of a clean and check like a checkup for your air conditioner. Just like you wouldn’t skip regular service for your car, your HVAC system needs routine care to avoid surprise failures.

With a JBH Heating and Air clean and check, you get:
