The Most Common AC Repair Call We Get

A failed capacitor is the single most frequent cause of an air conditioner that suddenly stops working. The capacitor stores electrical energy and provides the boost needed to start the compressor and fan motors. When it fails, your outdoor unit may hum without starting, the fan might spin slowly, or the system may not respond at all. The good news: this is a fast, affordable repair that our technicians complete on the spot in most cases.

How We Handle Capacitor Replacement

Our trucks carry a full range of capacitor sizes and ratings, so we almost never need to order parts for this repair. After confirming the capacitor is the issue — using electrical testing, not guesswork — we install a quality OEM-spec replacement, verify the system starts and runs correctly, and check the amperage draw on the compressor and fan motor to ensure nothing else is failing. The whole process typically takes under an hour.

When a Capacitor Failure Signals a Bigger Problem

Capacitors can fail from age, heat exposure, or power surges. A single failure is usually nothing to worry about. But if capacitors are failing repeatedly, it may indicate an underlying issue like an overworked compressor, a failing fan motor, or electrical problems. Our technicians investigate the root cause, not just the symptom.
