Emergency AC Diagnostic & Lightning Surge Repair on 3rd St in Jacksonville Beach
Street: 3rd St, Jacksonville Beach
The Problem: Following an evening thunderstorm, the central air conditioner was completely dead and not responding to the thermostat.
Diagnostic Assessment: We arrived on an emergency call and checked the electrical box. The contactor points were welded shut from a high-voltage surge, and the 3-amp control board fuse had blown, protecting the main board.
Resolution: We replaced the fused contactor assembly, installed a new 3-amp control fuse, and verified that the compressor and fan motors had not sustained winding damage. We installed a whole-house surge protector to prevent future storm damage.
