A homeowner in Yantis, TX noticed that their air conditioner struggled to cool the home during the day. Overnight, temperatures would finally drop to a comfortable level — but by morning, the problem started all over again.

Our technician found three issues working against the system. The condenser coil was heavily coated with dirt and debris, which blocks airflow and forces the unit to work harder than it should. The system was also low on R-22 refrigerant, which directly reduces cooling capacity. On top of that, the run capacitor for the blower motor tested out of tolerance — meaning the motor wasn't getting the proper electrical support it needed to run efficiently.

Family Air HVAC Services cleaned the condenser coil, replaced the faulty run capacitor, and added 2 lbs. of R-22 refrigerant to bring the system back to the correct charge level.

After the repairs were complete, the unit was cooling properly and performing the way it should. If your AC in Yantis, TX is struggling to keep up on hot days, a dirty coil or low refrigerant could be the culprit — and it's worth having a technician take a look before the problem gets worse.
