Wilkins Air Care | Local HVAC Services in Lubbock, TX

This is a classic sign of a failing AC capacitor, a very common issue in Lubbock due to our intense summer heat putting extra strain on systems. The capacitor provides the initial jolt of power to start the compressor and fan motors. When it weakens or fails, your unit can't start properly. Our technicians at Wilkins Air Care can quickly test and replace a faulty capacitor to restore your cooling and prevent further damage to the compressor.

A gradual loss of cooling capacity is often caused by a refrigerant leak, another frequent problem we see in the area. Refrigerant is the lifeblood of your cooling system, and low levels force it to work much harder, reducing efficiency and cooling power. Our experts use specialized tools to locate even small leaks, repair them, and recharge your system to the manufacturer's exact specifications, ensuring you get back to full, efficient cooling.

Regular preventive maintenance is the best defense. Our comprehensive maintenance check-up includes inspecting and testing capacitors for early signs of wear, checking refrigerant pressure and lines for leaks, cleaning coils, and ensuring all electrical connections are tight. This proactive service from Wilkins Air Care helps catch small issues before they lead to a costly breakdown, especially important before our demanding Lubbock summer season hits.
