    HOUSTON, TX, July 27, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Houston summers are like grueling marathons for your air conditioner: They're always running.

Once you prep your air conditioner, it's much more likely to get through the summer without any issues!

When it Overheats
Air conditioners can also overheat. When they do, they usually trip the circuit breaker. But many homeowners will just flip the circuit switch back on without another thought.

Big mistake and Here's Why
The circuit breaker's job is to protect your home and appliances by shutting off the flow of electricity when the current flow gets too high. If it keeps tripping, it's usually due to other problems and there are safeties in place to shut the compressor down independent of the circuit breaker. Otherwise you could cause your air conditioner to break down from constantly overheating.
