Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my AC struggle to keep up in the afternoon when the El Cajon heat hits triple digits?
Your AC is struggling to keep up in the afternoon during triple-digit heat because most ACs were never designed for it. Constant heat puts an AC at full capacity, especially when it’s running with a minor issue.
My AC works fine in the morning but fails during the 4 PM–9 PM “Peak Power” hours. What’s going on?
An AC that fails during peak hours could be caused by a failing capacitor or by a thermal overload safety feature designed to prevent your compressor from overheating. Low refrigerant levels can also be a culprit.
Why is the upstairs of my La Mesa home 10 degrees hotter than the downstairs?
Having your upstairs be 10 degrees hotter than the downstairs is extremely common in two-story homes. Installing a smart thermostat to track and prioritize temperatures and ensuring your ductwork is free of holes are the best ways to combat this.
How often should I change my filters during wildfire season or high-pollen months in East County?
You should change your air filters monthly during wildfire season and high pollen months in East County. This will guarantee your system will cycle cool and have proper airflow.
Can the dust and debris from Santa Ana winds actually clog my AC system?
Yes, dust and debris from Santa Ana winds can actually clog your AC system. During wildfire season, smokier air can become trapped in the air filter, making this particularly true. Change it out monthly.
Why is my AC leaking water inside my house? Is it just condensation from the San Diego humidity?
A clogged condensate line is the most common cause of water leaking into your house from your AC. Rather than continuing to run your AC, it’s better to turn your system off and have the line repaired by a professional.
