AC Repair Meridian-For the Dogs
I wanted to talk about a common ac repair Meridian caused by mans best friend. The most common is when your dog chews through the thermostat wires at the a/c unit and shorts them out. Not only does your dog get a small shock but it then burns out the transformer in your furnace causing you to have an ac repair Meridian Idaho. I had 1 customer 2 years ago that this happened too. We repaired the damage and warned him to fence off the a/c unit so it would not happen again. Four days later we had to come out and repair it again, and again 3 weeks after that. Thankfully after the 3rd repair he installed a fence around the a/c unit. Don’t worry he still loves both of his dogs.
AC Repair Meridian – Dog Urine

The 2nd most common ac repair Meridian caused by dogs would be from male dogs making it known that this ac unit belongs to them! That is right you guessed it, Dog urine. Male dog urine contains a high amount of ammonia, this causes a chemical reaction on the aluminum fins of the ac unit and starts to turn them into powder and eventually causing them to disappear entirely. This can cause both a Freon leak and low cooling due to overheating. These aluminum fins are what removes the heat form the ac unit to allow it to cool. With less fins the ac unit has less cooling resulting in an ac repair. Once this has occurred there is not turning back the clock. The fins are gone forever and the only way to fix it is to replace the ac unit itself. The best thing to do here is if you have a male dog make sure you build a fence around the ac unit before he makes it his own. We all love spending money on our best friends but I am guessing $1600 on an ac repair Meridian isn’t in the budget for their play toys.
