Common Ice Storm System Failures
Frozen Outdoor Fan: Thick ice prevents the blade from spinning, which can burn out the motor in minutes.
Transformer Failure: Power surges in Liberty often blow the small transformer that powers your thermostat.
Capacitor Stress: Fluctuating power during the storm weakens capacitors, preventing the compressor from starting once power returns.
Interactive Self-Audit
| System Factor | Your Current Situation | What That Usually Means |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat Display | Screen is dark or won't change | Loss of 24v power or a blown fuse on the control board. |
| Outdoor Unit Ice | Visible clear ice inside the fan | Immediate mechanical hazard; system needs a manual defrost. |
| Indoor Air Temp | Air is blowing but feels cold | The compressor isn't engaged or the heat strips are failed. |
Repair Logic: Getting Your Heat Back
We focus on logic, not high-pressure sales. During an emergency, the goal is safety. If your system is over 15 years old and the compressor has shorted due to a surge, we will weigh the cost of a complex repair against the reliability of a new unit.
For most Randleman residents, a simple component replacement—like a capacitor or contactor—is all that is needed to restore the heat exchange cycle. Our technicians check the airflow path from the return vent to the supply registers to ensure no blockages occurred during the storm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have technicians available in Liberty right now?
Yes. We have dispatched multiple trucks specifically to the Liberty and Randleman areas to handle the high volume of ice-related failures. We prioritize "no-heat" situations for families and the elderly to ensure no one stays in a freezing home overnight.
Why is my outdoor unit making a loud hitting sound?
If you hear a rhythmic thumping, ice has likely built up on the fan shroud, and the blades are striking it. You should turn the system to "Emergency Heat" at the thermostat immediately to stop the outdoor fan and prevent motor destruction in your Randleman home.
Will my warranty cover storm-related electrical damage?
Manufacturer warranties typically cover parts failures but may exclude "acts of God" like lightning or grid surges. However, our technicians provide full documentation that you can use for insurance claims if the ice storm caused significant damage to your Liberty HVAC system.
The ice is heavy, but our commitment to your comfort is stronger. If you are in the dark or in the cold, call us. We are ready to help.

Jordan Heating and Air Conditioning
