5-Ton Ameristar Condenser and Coil Replacement Restores Cooling in Murrieta, CA

Gary Rodgers • June 14, 2026

Project Overview

A Murrieta homeowner was experiencing cooling issues caused by a failing outdoor condenser unit. With summer temperatures rising, restoring reliable air conditioning quickly was a priority. After evaluating the system, we recommended replacing the condenser and indoor evaporator coil to restore performance and reliability.

System Failure

The existing equipment had reached the point where replacement was the most practical solution. Continuing to operate a failing condenser can lead to poor cooling performance, higher energy consumption, and increased stress on other HVAC components. To ensure long-term reliability, the homeowner elected to move forward with a complete condenser and coil replacement.

New Ameristar Equipment Installation

Our team safely recovered the existing refrigerant and disconnected power before removing the old 5-ton condenser and indoor evaporator coil. We then installed a new high-efficiency Ameristar condenser and matching indoor coil. After installation, we performed a deep vacuum on the refrigerant system, conducted leak testing, and verified the integrity of all connections. Once testing was complete, the system was properly charged and commissioned according to manufacturer specifications to ensure optimal performance.

Results

The new Ameristar condenser and evaporator coil restored reliable cooling and improved overall system performance. With the installation completed and all testing verified, the homeowner can once again enjoy dependable air conditioning and efficient operation throughout the home. The new equipment is designed to provide years of reliable comfort while helping maintain energy-efficient performance during the hottest months of the year.

Partial PEX-A Repipe After a Slab Leak in Menifee, CA: Preventing Future Plumbing Problems

By Gary Rodgers • July 11, 2026

When a homeowner in Menifee contacted Rodgers Air Conditioning & Plumbing about a slab leak, the original plan seemed straightforward. We would reroute the leaking hot water line and eliminate the leak without breaking through the concrete foundation. However, after evaluating the plumbing system, it became clear that simply repairing one pipe wasn't necessarily the best long-term solution. The leaking pipe happened to be one of the longest hot water runs beneath the home. While we could certainly reroute that single line, we discussed the possibility that additional aging pipes beneath the slab could eventually develop leaks of their own. After reviewing the options, the homeowner decided to invest in a partial PEX-A repipe that replaced the entire downstairs plumbing system, helping eliminate the risk of future slab leaks on the lower level.
