Why Air Conditioners Fail in Late August (and What to Do When Yours Does)
Late August is when West Michigan ACs quit. The parts that give out, what to check yourself, and whether to limp to fall, repair, or replace.

Professional ac repair for Comstock Park homes and businesses. Mazure's Heating & Air Conditioning is just 22 minutes from our Jenison shop — fast response when you need it most.
When the AC quits on a hot afternoon in Comstock Park, you want somebody who'll actually pick up the phone. That's how Mazure's works — Mike answers, listens to what's going on, and gets a tech headed your way. We're 22 minutes down the road in Jenison, and we've been fixing air conditioners across Alpine Township and the West River Drive corridor since 1987.
We regularly serve homes in Alpine Township — near LMCU Ballpark and West River Drive. Our Jenison headquarters puts us just 22 minutes from our Jenison shop, which means fast emergency response when your system goes down unexpectedly.
Comstock Park homes take the same summer heat as the rest of West Michigan, and the AC units here deal with it all season long. The most frequent call we get is the system running but not dropping the temperature inside. That usually points to low refrigerant from a slow leak, or a dirty evaporator coil that's iced over. We also replace a lot of capacitors and contactors — these are wear items that give out after several years of hard use. Fan motors fail too, and you'll hear it when they do — a grinding or squealing that gets worse each day. We service all the common brands you'll find around Alpine Township: Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Goodman, Rheem, York, American Standard. For ductless systems, we handle Mitsubishi and Fujitsu as well. Most AC repairs here cost between $150 and $600.
Nobody wants to sit in a hot house waiting for a repair that's scheduled three days out. We do our best to reach Comstock Park homes the same day you call during business hours. For emergencies — unit completely dead on a 95-degree day, elderly family member at home, that kind of thing — we offer 24/7 service. Call (616) 669-8085 and we'll work out a plan. Our trucks roll with the parts that go bad most often. Capacitors, contactors, fan motors, hard-start kits, and refrigerant are all on board. That means fewer return trips and less time waiting in the heat. We also believe in being straight with you about what your system needs. If a $175 part gets your AC running strong again, that's what we recommend — not a $7,000 replacement.
