A homeowner in Porter, TX called us after their air conditioner stopped working. When our technician arrived and inspected the outdoor condenser unit, the cause was clear — a dog had chewed through the wiring. Damaged wires like these can prevent the system from running at all and may pose a safety risk if left unaddressed.
We repaired the chewed wiring and restored power to the condenser. Once the system was back up and running, we also performed a full tune-up to make sure everything was operating correctly. The tune-up included checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, and confirming the system was cooling efficiently.
Pet damage to HVAC wiring is more common than most homeowners realize. If you have dogs or other outdoor pets, it's worth checking the area around your condenser unit periodically. Protective wire covers or fencing around the unit can help prevent this type of damage in the future.
