How Continuous Summer Use Can Impact Your AC

Image
Reaching the end of summer without an AC breakdown does not necessarily mean the equipment finished the season unaffected. From June through September, an air conditioner may spend countless hours battling heat and humidity. During that time, the compressor, fan motor, refrigerant circuit, and electrical components remain under repeated demand. In Edwardsville, IL, humid Midwestern conditions can make cooling cycles especially long because the system has to reduce indoor moisture while removing heat.   B & W Heating & Cooling  helps homeowners understand the effects of that extended workload and recognize signs that the AC may need attention. What makes summer wear difficult to notice is its gradual nature. Instead of one event suddenly damaging the system, stress can accumulate a little at a time. Motors log more operating hours, refrigerant pressures remain elevated, electrical parts cycle repeatedly, and coils slowly become covered with outdoor debris. The AC may ...

For many homeowners, that quieter operation feels like a signal that AC concerns can wait until next year. The equipment has a different story to tell. June, July, and August may have required the compressor to run for long periods under extreme outdoor temperatures. The blower spent countless hours pushing conditioned air through the ductwork. Capacitors and electrical connections handled repeated startups, while filters and coils collected months of dust and debris. When temperatures begin falling, the demand drops quickly. The accumulate...
