Older Mission homes push units past their limit
Many of the homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s near downtown Mission and along Conway Avenue were designed with far less insulation and smaller duct runs than current standards, which means the air conditioning system installed later often has to work harder just to keep up. That extra strain shows up as more frequent capacitor failures, refrigerant issues, and worn contactors than we typically see in newer construction.
When we're called out to one of these homes, we check the whole system — not just the part that failed — since an undersized or overworked setup tends to produce repeat problems if the root cause isn't addressed.
