Common Summer AC Failures
In Kathleen, summer temperatures can hit hard—and the last thing you want is an AC system failure when the heat index is soaring. Unfortunately, that’s exactly when many systems decide to call it quits. Common mid-summer AC issues include:
- Refrigerant Leaks: Low refrigerant levels lead to poor cooling and eventual system shutdown.
- Frozen Evaporator Coils: Restricted airflow or low refrigerant can freeze coils, stopping your AC cold.
- Clogged Drain Lines: Condensation build-up with nowhere to go can trigger system safety shutdowns.
- Electrical Failures: Faulty wiring, capacitor issues, or worn-out components can stop your AC from turning on at all.
Most of these failures can be prevented with early action—before summer kicks into full gear.
What Preventive Maintenance Really Does
Preventive HVAC maintenance is more than just a tune-up—it’s a full system check-up designed to catch issues early and keep everything running efficiently. Here’s what regular service provides:
- Improved Energy Efficiency – Clean coils, filters, and components mean your AC uses less power.
- Longer System Lifespan – Preventing wear and tear adds years to your equipment.
- Fewer Emergency Repairs – Identifying small issues now avoids big breakdowns later.
- Better Cooling Performance – Your home stays more comfortable with consistent airflow and temperature.
Preventive maintenance is an investment that saves you money, time, and summer headaches.
