Northern Light Heating & Air Condioning - Essex's Local HVAC Repair

This is a common issue in our area, often caused by high humidity. When the air is saturated with moisture, your air conditioner has to work much harder to remove both heat and humidity. We can perform a system evaluation to check your unit's capacity, refrigerant levels, and suggest solutions like a system tune-up, adding a whole-house dehumidifier, or ensuring proper airflow to restore efficient cooling.

Yes, blower motor failures are frequent here due to our systems running heavily in both summer and winter. The constant operation and exposure to dust can cause the motor to wear out or overheat. Our technicians are experienced in quickly diagnosing blower motor issues—whether it needs a repair, a new capacitor, or a full replacement—to get your heating or cooling airflow back to normal promptly.

Preventative maintenance is key. We recommend biannual tune-ups before summer and winter. Our service includes cleaning coils and checking refrigerant levels for efficiency, inspecting and lubricating the blower motor to prevent failure, ensuring condensate drains are clear to handle humidity, and checking the thermostat calibration. This proactive care helps your system combat high humidity and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns.
