A homeowner in Allen, TX called in with a common summer problem — the master bedroom wasn't cooling down. When our technician arrived, the condenser had locked out on high pressure. The cause turned out to be severely clogged condenser coils, which had restricted airflow and caused the system to shut itself off as a safety measure.
The technician thoroughly rinsed and cleaned the coils, then reset the unit. The system came back online and began cooling properly. While on site, the technician also cleaned the coils on the neighboring unit as a precaution.
Dirty condenser coils are one of the most common reasons air conditioners lose cooling ability during hot Texas summers. Regular cleaning helps prevent lockouts and keeps your system running efficiently. Lovejoy HVAC recommends having your condenser coils inspected and cleaned at least once a year — ideally before the cooling season begins.
