The First 15 Minutes: Homeowner Protocol

What you do before our truck arrives can prevent a bigger breakdown.

4. What NOT to Do
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 Montrose bungalow or townhome, the panel is often in a hallway 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.

Montrose AC Reality

Tight Lots and Hot Attics: The 77098 Challenge

Montrose lots are narrow, and that shapes AC problems in two ways. First, condensers in new townhomes often sit in tight side yards, boxed in by fences and neighbouring units, where they recirculate their own hot air and work far harder than they should. Second, the bungalows' attics run brutally hot in July, and ductwork running through a 140-degree attic loses cooling before it ever reaches the rooms. If your Montrose home has always had one warm room, the cause is often airflow and ductwork rather than the size of the system.
