FAQs

A: Most common causes are low refrigerant causing high-pressure trips, a dirty coil, or an oversized system that cools too fast in Oakland's smaller rowhouse rooms and shuts off before completing a full cycle.

A: Yes. Frequent startup cycles stress the compressor and accelerate wear on capacitors and contactors — the damage happens faster in DC's summer heat.
