Why Norman's Climate Wears Out Your Compressor

Extreme Temperatures

The intense heat of Norman increases the internal pressure and electrical load on the compressor, forcing it to work harder.

Storms and Voltage Spikes

Frequent thunderstorms can cause power fluctuations that damage the compressor motor. For more information on local weather, visit the AccuWeather site.

Oklahoma Red Dirt

The region’s dirt and debris can clog the coils, starving refrigerant flow and causing the compressor to overheat.

Signs Your Compressor Might Be Failing

The outdoor unit hums or clicks but the fan runs.
The breaker trips immediately when the cooling cycle starts.
Indoor humidity is high, even with long run times.
The suction line is barely cool to the touch.

The Compressor: DIY or Professional Repair?
