Units Need to be Inspected Thoroughly if Affected by a Power Surge

While working at his home one day a customer experienced a power surge in his home. After that occurred, his air conditioner did not work. He gave us a call and we sent a technician to his home who found that the outside unit had a burned out capacitor. Once the capacitor was replaced the system worked fine.

An air conditioner can be adversely affected by a power surge just like your computer or television. Unfortunately, you can’t just plug in a power strip to your cooling system and protect it. The customer mentioned above was lucky in that the repair was a minor one. Power surges can do a great deal of damage to an air conditioner, making your condenser, compressor or fan useless. Lightning strikes are particularly dangerous, whether they hit your home or anywhere else in the vicinity.

If you have any reason to believe that your air conditioner has been damaged due to a power surge, give us a call at Arco and we’ll have a qualified technician thoroughly inspect your system. There will be some instances where only a minor repair will be necessary, but in other cases you may find that you need a complete system replacement.

Call Arco today if you have recently had a power surge in your home and your air conditioner has been affected.

I had a great experience with Shaun. He was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly knew his stuff. He quickly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly, and completed the repair efficiently. What stood out most was his expertise and attention to detail. It’s not often you find someone who is both highly skilled and genuinely committed to providing excellent service. I highly recommend Shaun to anyone. I will definitely use his services again in the future. Thank you for the outstanding work!

We contacted Arco Home Services for plumbing repairs. Jacob Adams was our tech. Jacob showed up on time and gave us an estimate for the multiple items we wanted done. He was professional, knowledgeable, and personable. He explained all steps and issues that were encountered and spent close to a day and a half completing the many repairs we requested. He knew what he was doing and worked diligently to make sure that the work was done timely and correctly. I can say it was a pleasure to have him complete the work we needed which included installing a new utility tub with new faucets and shut off valves, new bathroom faucet, installing a new sink with faucet and all plumbing in the second bathroom, repairing a toilet flange and reseating the toilet along with multiple other time consuming items to bring the plumbing in our older home into good working order. I can highly recommend Jacob's work and would ask for him again if I needed any additional repairs done. Thank you Jacob for a job well done.

Arco representative Andrew Corrothers came out to inspect our AC unit and did a great job detailing the issues with our unit. Andrew also provided informative options for our unit and potential replacement options. Definitely a job well done by Andrew. Note: There was no charge for visit, part of my service contract.
