Azle FAQ

Are surge protectors worth installing on an AC system?+

For homes in areas prone to storms or grid fluctuations, yes, it's a relatively small upfront cost against the risk of a damaged control board, which can be one of the more expensive individual components to replace.

How do I know if my breaker tripping is serious?+

A single trip during an unusually hot day, especially if it hasn't happened before, isn't necessarily urgent. Repeated trips, especially paired with humming, buzzing, or a burning smell near the electrical panel or outdoor unit, is worth having looked at rather than continuing to reset it.
