Built for a mild climate, tested by the coast
Mar Vista sits a few miles from the ocean, so most days are mild and many Trane systems here run in short bursts rather than long cycles. That sounds easy on equipment, but damp marine air and a light salt film slowly corrode outdoor coil fins and electrical contacts. Many of the neighborhood's single-story postwar houses were built without central air, so ducts often run through tight attics or crawlspaces added later. When a late-summer heat wave arrives, a system that has sat mostly idle suddenly runs hard. That is usually when weak capacitors and dirty coils show up.
What usually goes wrong with Trane units
An AC that runs but won't cool most often points to a failed capacitor, low refrigerant from a slow leak, or a clogged outdoor coil. A heat pump stuck in heating or cooling usually traces back to the reversing valve, its solenoid, or a thermostat wiring issue. A furnace that lights and then shuts off within seconds typically has a dirty flame sensor. A frozen evaporator coil generally comes from restricted airflow, such as a clogged filter or blocked returns, or from a low refrigerant charge. A loud outdoor unit can mean a worn fan motor, a loose panel, or debris caught in the fan.
Simple habits that keep a Trane running
Check the filter monthly during heavy use and replace it when it looks gray, since restricted airflow causes many frozen coils. Keep plants, fences and stored items about two feet from the outdoor unit. A couple of times a year, gently rinse the coil with a garden hose to clear salt and dust. On ductless heads, wash the reusable filters every few weeks. Before the furnace's first run in fall, make sure furniture and rugs aren't blocking vents or returns. If you hear grinding or see ice on the refrigerant lines, shut the system off and call us before the damage spreads.

Our freezer stopped working recently. When I called West Appliance Service they came to my home to assess the problem within 1 hour of calling. They were able to come back the next day to complete the repairs once they knew what parts they needed. The service was quick, smooth, and well done. We had a great experience working with Ivan and highly recommend anyone to use their services. We will definitely be a repeat customer if our appliances need repair.
