HVAC Repair Lubbock TX | Call Eddie Buffington Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning

A comprehensive plumbing inspection can uncover issues like clogged drain lines or improper condensate drainage from your air handler. In Lubbock's climate, a blocked drain pan is a common culprit for evaporator coil freeze-ups because it causes moisture to back up and ice over the coil. Our technicians check this critical part of your system during an inspection to ensure proper water flow and prevent costly AC failures.

Lubbock's intense summer heat forces AC units to work harder and cycle more frequently, putting extra strain on capacitors and leading to premature failure. While a capacitor is an electrical component, a plumbing inspection can reveal systemic issues like refrigerant leaks or airflow restrictions from a dirty coil that cause the system to overwork. Identifying and fixing these root problems during an inspection can reduce the overall strain on your HVAC components, helping capacitors last longer.

Signs of a frozen evaporator coil in your Lubbock home include reduced cooling, ice on the refrigerant lines or indoor unit, and water leaks or excess humidity. You should turn the system off immediately to prevent further damage to the compressor. Call for service right away—our technicians can perform a detailed inspection to diagnose the cause, which is often related to airflow issues, low refrigerant, or a malfunctioning blower, all of which we can resolve to restore your comfort.
