Question Answers
Why does my AC in Wichita Falls keep tripping the breaker, and is it a capacitor issue?
Frequent breaker trips are a common sign in our area, often pointing to a failing AC capacitor. As capacitors weaken, they cause the compressor motor to draw excessive amperage (a 'hard start'), overloading the circuit. Our technicians can test your capacitor's health on-site and replace it if needed, preventing further electrical stress and potential system damage.
How can an improperly sized HVAC system affect my Wichita Falls home?
An oversized system will short-cycle, turning on and off rapidly. This fails to properly dehumidify your home, leaving it clammy, and causes uneven temperatures and increased wear. An undersized system runs constantly, struggling to keep up on extreme Texas days and driving up energy costs. We perform detailed Manual J load calculations to recommend the perfect system size for your home's efficiency and comfort.
What's included in your diagnostic service for a malfunctioning AC unit?
Our comprehensive diagnostic starts with a discussion of the symptoms you're experiencing. We then perform a systematic check of electrical components (like capacitors and contactors), refrigerant levels, airflow, thermostat function, and the condensate drain system. This thorough approach allows us to pinpoint the root cause—whether it's a simple part failure or a more complex issue—and provide you with a clear, upfront repair plan.
