What's Causing the Problem
Georgetown-specific causes based on 3,200+ service calls. We've seen these exact failure patterns in Wolf Ranch, Sun City, Berry Creek, and Teravista homes.
Low Refrigerant / Refrigerant Leak
The #1 cause in Georgetown. Hard water scale builds on coils, slowly leaking refrigerant. A system 10–20% low runs but can't reach setpoint.
Failed Run Capacitor
Georgetown's 100°F+ heat kills capacitors. When they fail, the compressor runs at partial capacity — AC cools weakly or not at all.
Dirty or Frozen Evaporator Coil
Georgetown's humidity causes rapid coil icing when airflow is restricted. Ice insulates the coil — no heat transfer, no cooling.
Oversized or Undersized System
Many Georgetown builders install undersized units. System runs 100% but can't handle the heat load on peak days.
Dirty Condenser Coils (Outdoor Unit)
Cedar, cottonwood and dust clog Georgetown outdoor coils every spring. A 30% blockage reduces efficiency by up to 30%.
Thermostat Calibration Drift
Older thermostats read 3–5°F off actual room temp. System shuts off before cooling is complete.
