Question Answers
Why does my AC in Austin keep tripping the breaker or not starting, especially on hot days?
This is a classic sign of a failing AC capacitor, one of the most common HVAC issues we see in Austin due to our extreme summer heat. The capacitor provides the initial jolt to start your compressor and fan motors. When it weakens, it draws excessive power, causing breakers to trip. Buddy's can quickly diagnose and replace a faulty capacitor, restoring safe and reliable operation to your system.
My AC runs constantly but my Austin home never feels cool enough. What's wrong?
Duct leakage is a major culprit for this inefficiency in many Central Texas homes. Cool air escapes into your attic or crawlspace before reaching your rooms, forcing the system to overwork. Our repair services include a comprehensive duct inspection using specialized tools to locate leaks. We then properly seal your ductwork, which can dramatically improve cooling performance and lower your energy costs.
