An Alma Comfort Club (our maintenance plan) member called because the AC was not cooling.
What Our Technician Found
Our technician checked the outdoor unit and found the contactor (the switch that sends power to the outdoor unit when the AC turns on) packed with debris and bugs. When debris gets between the contact points, the switch may not close and the outdoor unit will not run.
What We Completed
- Checked why the system was not cooling.
- Found debris and bugs in the contactor.
- Replaced the contactor.
- Checked the system after the repair.
The Result
The outdoor unit has a new contactor. Learn more about our AC repair.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- Bugs love outdoor units. Ants and other insects can get into the electrical parts.
- Keep the area around the unit clear. Less clutter means fewer places for pests.
- Regular checks catch it early. A tune-up includes a look at the contactor.
