An AC compressor in Prairieville was overheating, drawing approximately 30 amps, and shutting off on thermal overload. An inspection revealed a large ant mound and debris blocking part of the condenser coil. After cleaning, compressor amperage dropped to approximately 19–20 amps.An AC compressor in Prairieville was overheating, drawing approximately 30 amps, and shutting off on thermal overload.

An upstairs HVAC system in Geismar struggled with cooling, humidity, and weak airflow. We found closed registers, a closed duct damper, excessive discharge pressure, and a dirty condenser coil.

A Bard wall-mounted air conditioner at SA Recycling in Prairieville kept freezing overnight even after an initial coil cleaning and blower-control repair. A deeper cleaning of the thick three-row evaporator coil uncovered heavy internal buildup, while refrigerant testing also revealed the system had been significantly overcharged. This Prairieville HVAC case study shows why airflow must be verified before adding refrigerant to a frozen air-conditioning system.
