Why AC systems fail in Richardson's hot continental climate
Cooling demand from May through October — typical AC runs 10-14 hours daily in peak summer.
- Compressor failures cluster in late July when the system has run 10+ hours a day for 6 weeks straight.
- Hail storms common in spring damage outdoor coils — visible bent fins, hidden refrigerant leaks.
- Pollen and cottonwood clog filters and coils faster than expected.
- Older homes with undersized ductwork strain the AC and shorten compressor life.
