More often than not, my job involves uncovering the potential fail point. In this case what I uncovered involved a condenser coil that "looked clean" with a lizard 🦎 and a lot of weeds. This was what created the “snowball effect” of overheating the system, causing the compressor to work on overdrive and eventually fail. Compressors normally don’t go out overnight, it’s lack of proper maintenance, system imbalances and gross neglect that causes expensive repairs like these. The good news is, with proper care cases like this are preventable. As much as I like the business, it’s not a good feeling being called to fix damage that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

A clogged filter may not seem like much but over time it will restrict airflow, cause the blower motor to run harder, resulting in higher energy usage and lower efficiency, or even worse cause the coil to freeze over. Save yourself the costly repairs & headache and set a reminder to change your filter at least every 3 months 🗓️

When a warranty compressor swap turns into a surprise late night project. Instead of a simple change out, I ended up having to completely re-pipe the copper lines. Turns out the compressors were different types. The original was discontinued and the manufacturer replacement was different enough to require the old pipe bender. Welcome to the exciting night life of a HVACR tech.

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen to an A/C condenser if a dog took a liking to it, here’s the result. Remember in the last reel I mentioned that the condenser coils don’t do well with corrosive substances—this is a great example of some of the many ways you can increase your home maintenance expenses. Stay tuned for more ways to drain your bank account 💸🏚️

Keeping the coils clean on your A/C is essential to maintaining proper air flow and optimal cooling. If you’ve got a lot of pollinating trees around then it’s likely your coils look a lot like this one. Now hold on, don’t bust out the high pressure power washer and caustic chemicals just yet, the coils can’t handle all that, and you may cause quite a bit of damage. A good rinse on a routine basis is the best way to go.
