AC Stopped Working in Alma, AR (New Capacitor)

An Alma homeowner called because the AC was not working and wanted someone out as soon as possible.

What Our Technician Found

Our technician opened up the outdoor unit and tested the electrical parts. He found the capacitor bad. The capacitor is a part that stores a burst of power and gives the motors the push they need to start. Without it, the outdoor unit cannot get going, so the house stops cooling.
