The biggest culprit in Marlboro is ice buildup on outdoor units during our freeze-thaw cycles, especially when gutters overflow onto the equipment. Many Grand Street homes have heat pumps installed too close to roof lines where ice dams form. Lack of regular filter changes also causes systems to work harder and burn out compressors faster during sustained cold periods.
