University Park 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.

Is this guide relevant for University Park homes in Dallas County?+

Yes, this applies to homes throughout Dallas County, including University Park. If you'd like this looked at for your specific address, call (817) 935-8540 and mention your ZIP code.
