Protocol Focus · Minute 0–5

Check the Breaker Before Anything Else

A tripped breaker is one of the most common reasons an AC unit stops entirely. In a 77005 bungalow, the panel is often in a hallway closet or garage; check the breaker labeled for your HVAC or condenser unit before anything else.

Outdoor unit: Check the disconnect box mounted beside the condenser.
Indoor breaker: Reset once — if it trips again immediately, stop and call us.
Thermostat: Confirm it is set to Cool and the temperature is below room temp.

West University AC Reality

Old Bungalows, New Builds: Two Kinds of AC Trouble in 77005

The most common 77005 call from an older bungalow is water: an attic air handler with a clogged condensate line that drips through the ceiling. The most common call from a new build is uneven cooling, where one floor or one zone stays warm while the rest of the house is fine. Both are fixable the same day in most cases, but they need different parts and different diagnostics, which is why we ask about the age and layout of your home when you call.
