A homeowner in Grand Saline, TX noticed that every afternoon their house would get uncomfortably warm. Their air conditioner was running but simply could not keep up with the heat. They gave us a call to find out why.
After a thorough diagnostic, the technician found the condenser coil was completely clogged with dirt and debris. When the condenser coil is blocked like this, air cannot flow through the system properly. Without that airflow, the unit cannot release heat and cool the home effectively.
The technician cleaned the condenser coil and cleared away all the built-up dirt. Once the coil was clean, the system was tested again. The air conditioner was back to cooling the home as it should.
Family Air HVAC Services followed up with the homeowner a few days after the visit. They reported the system was cooling properly and they were very happy with the results.
If your air conditioner struggles to keep up on hot afternoons, a dirty condenser coil could be the cause. Regular maintenance can help prevent this issue and keep your system running efficiently all summer long.
