☀️Why Your A/C Might Fail This Summer (and How to Stop It Now)
As temperatures rise across Linn County, homeowners in Lebanon, Albany, Sweet Home, and surrounding areas are firing up their air conditioners for the season. But what if your system doesn’t fire up? Or worse—what if it fails when you need it most?
At Lebanon Servco, we see it every year: preventable A/C failures caused by simple things that could have been fixed months ago.
Let’s break down the most common reasons air conditioners stop working—and what you can do right now to avoid costly, uncomfortable breakdowns this summer.
1. 🧊 Dirty or Clogged Air Filters
Your A/C relies on airflow. A clogged filter suffocates your system, causing it to overwork, overheat, or shut down entirely.
✅ Replace filters every 1–3 months, especially if you have pets or allergies.
2. ⚠️ Low Refrigerant
If your system isn’t cooling like it used to, it could be leaking refrigerant. This isn’t a DIY fix—you need a certified technician to find and repair the leak before refilling.
🚨 Ignoring this can burn out your compressor (a $$$ part).
3. 🌀 Dirty Condenser Coils
The outdoor unit pulls heat out of your home—but if the coils are dirty or covered in debris (leaves, pollen, dust), it can’t do its job.
🌿 Keep a 2-foot clearance around the unit and rinse gently with a hose.
4. 🛑 Electrical Issues
A faulty thermostat, tripped breaker, or corroded capacitor can leave your system dead in the water. These are common in older systems or after a harsh winter.
🧰 We’ll inspect your system’s electrical components during your tune-up.
5. 🧼 Skipped Maintenance
Just like your car needs oil changes, your A/C needs professional care. An annual HVAC tune-up can catch small issues before they lead to full system failure.
🧑🔧 Our certified techs clean, inspect, and optimize every part of your system—so you stay cool all summer.
🌡 BONUS: Avoid Sticker Shock on Your Power Bill
When your system struggles to cool, it runs longer… and your energy bill skyrockets.
💸 A clean, tuned-up A/C unit runs more efficiently—and keeps your bills under control.
