📍 Location: Aubrey, TX
🏠 Issue: 2021 Condenser – Compressor Burned Out Due to Power Surge
A homeowner in Aubrey contacted Greentech Engineering Heating and Air Conditioning after their 2021 condenser ceased functioning. Our technician diagnosed a burned-out compressor, attributed to a recent power surge.
Rather than replacing the faulty component, we conducted a comprehensive system evaluation to identify the root cause. After confirming the power surge as the culprit, we replaced the compressor and performed a complimentary system tune-up to ensure optimal performance and prevent future issues.
🛠 Our Approach to Preventing Compressor Failure:
- Annual Preventative Maintenance: Regular checks on capacitors, fan motors, and refrigerant levels, along with cleaning condenser coils, are essential to maintain system health.
- Surge Protection: Installing a surge protector can shield your HVAC system from voltage spikes, a common issue in Texas.
- Hard Start Kits: Implementing a 5-2-1 compressor hard start kit reduces the strain during startup, enhancing compressor longevity.
- Proper Refrigerant Handling: Ensuring that refrigerants are not mixed and that line sets are properly flushed prevents chemical corrosion and subsequent compressor damage.
✅ The Result:
- Restored Cooling: The homeowner’s AC system is back to optimal performance.
- Enhanced Protection: With the implemented measures, the system is better protected against future power surges.
- Customer Satisfaction: The homeowner appreciated our thorough approach and the added value of the complimentary tune-up.
