🔧 10-Year-Old HVAC System Check: Over Amping Issue Found! ⚡

Описание: In today’s service call, Fabian, one of Colair’s expert technicians, was dispatched for a routine maintenance check on an HVAC system that is nearing 10 years old. Systems at this age often begin to develop issues — especially if they haven’t been regularly maintained.

As HVAC units get older (typically 10+ years), common problems can include:
✅ Dirty coils and motors
✅ Torn or soiled ductwork, especially after a unit replacement
✅ Electrical components beginning to fail
✅ Systems starting to “over amp”

In this case, the unit was pulling 114.9 amps, even though the maximum safe limit for the part should have been 96.7 amps.

When a system pulls more than the recommended maximum, it can lead to serious problems such as:
⚠️ Compressor rotor lockout
⚠️ Electrical part failures
⚠️ Higher energy bills
⚠️ Potential compressor breakdown

The customer had already replaced the coil, blower motors, and updated the ductwork — everything looked clean and in great shape. The only issue discovered was the over amping electrical draw.

💡 Recommendation: Fabian suggested installing a hard start kit, which helps reduce electrical strain, prevent costly repairs, and protect the system from major failures.
