Busy Summer

Well to say the lease I have been busy this summer, thats why I have not posted in a while. I thought I would write about some of my service calls this summer. I have had several calls this summer where units were not cooling due to being overcharged.
Overcharged units will not cool like it should,but if its overcharged real bad it will kill your compressor in a short time.

I have changed several capacitors this summer, make sure your capacitors are checked when having your system checked out. Capacitors are alot cheaper than a motor or compressor.

Just a reminder as of Jan. 2006, manufactures will be producing units only in 13 seer or higher. These units will cost more to install. If you are thinking about replacing your system and want to save some money you may want to do it soon before the 10 & 12 seer units are gone..
