Corcoran Wind and Your A/C: What Most Homeowners Miss
The wind out here does more damage than the heat. Here is how to protect your equipment.
Corcoran is famous for two things: agriculture and wind. Both are hard on outdoor HVAC equipment. The fan motor on a typical condenser is rated for clean air. Out here it eats grit for breakfast.
Two cheap habits make a big difference. Rinse the coil once in spring and once mid summer, and keep a four foot clearance around the unit so debris does not get sucked straight into the fins.
If you have already replaced a fan motor in the last few years, ask for a totally enclosed motor next time. The premium is small and the lifespan in this climate is dramatically longer.
Most common in Corcoran
- • Wind blown grit eroding outdoor fan motors
- • Older homes with original ductwork in vented crawlspaces
- • Gas valve and pilot issues after long damp fog stretches
