HVAC Services New Braunfels TX | Call Cavalry Heating & Air Conditioning

That's a common issue here, often caused by a failing AC capacitor or a clogged air filter from our dusty environment. A struggling capacitor can't start the compressor, causing the system to trip off. A dirty filter restricts airflow, making the system overheat and shut down as a safety measure. Our professional maintenance service includes checking and testing the capacitor, cleaning or replacing the air filter, and ensuring your entire system is free of the dust buildup specific to our area to prevent these shutdowns.

If you're facing repeated capacitor failures, especially in an older system (10-15 years), it's a sign the unit is under significant stress. Constant repairs for this and other components can add up quickly. For many New Braunfels homes, investing in a modern, energy-efficient HVAC installation is more cost-effective long-term. Newer systems are better equipped to handle our sustained heat, are more reliable, and can significantly lower your energy bills, providing greater comfort and peace of mind.

Due to the higher dust levels in our area, we recommend checking your standard 1-inch air filter every 30 days and replacing it at least every 60-90 days during peak cooling and heating seasons. A clogged filter is one of the top causes of HVAC repair calls here—it forces your system to work much harder, leading to higher bills, reduced cooling power, and even component failures like frozen coils or overheated motors. During our maintenance visits, we always check and replace your filter to ensure optimal performance.
