Delta Heat and Air | Experienced HVAC Repair in Mesquite, TX

That's a common issue in Mesquite, especially during our hottest months. An overheated compressor unit is often caused by a dirty condenser coil restricting airflow, low refrigerant levels, or a failing capacitor. Continuing to run it in this state can cause further damage. We recommend turning the system off and calling us for a diagnostic check to identify the specific cause and prevent a costly breakdown.

Yes, water leakage typically indicates a clogged condensate drain line, which is very common here. As your AC removes humidity, the water needs to drain away. When the line clogs with algae or debris, it can cause water damage to your floors, walls, or even the AC unit itself. We can clear the clog, perform a flush, and may recommend installing a safety switch to prevent future overflows.

Preventative maintenance is key. We recommend a professional tune-up twice a year—once before summer and once before winter. This includes cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, checking refrigerant levels, clearing the condensate drain, inspecting electrical components, and ensuring proper airflow. This proactive care helps prevent overheated units and clogged drains, improves efficiency, and extends the life of your system.
