Bandera AC Repair | Fix Clogged Drains & Overheated Units | Rugh's Air Conditioning

This is often a sign of an overheated compressor, a common issue in our Texas heat. The unit may be cycling on a safety switch. First, ensure nothing is blocking airflow around the outdoor unit, like tall grass or debris. Then, turn the system off at the thermostat to let it cool down. For a lasting fix, call us. We'll diagnose the root cause—which could be low refrigerant, a dirty condenser coil, or an electrical fault—and perform the necessary repair to restore efficient cooling and prevent further damage.

A water leak inside your home is typically caused by a clogged condensate drain line. The humidity in our area means your AC produces a lot of moisture, and over time, algae and mold can block the drainpipe. This backup can cause water damage to your ceilings, walls, or flooring. Don't ignore it. We can quickly clear the blockage with specialized tools, apply an algaecide treatment to prevent recurrence, and check the drain pan to ensure your system is draining properly and protecting your home.

Two issues require immediate attention to prevent major damage or costly repairs. First, any sign of water leakage from your indoor unit, as it indicates a clogged drain that can lead to significant water damage and mold growth. Second, if your outdoor compressor unit is making loud noises, emitting a burning smell, or repeatedly tripping the circuit breaker, it's likely overheating and needs professional service right away to avoid a complete compressor failure. For both situations, giving us a call promptly can save you money and hassle in the long run.
