Selling a home is a good time to know the heating and cooling system is working well. In mid-September, a Greenwood homeowner getting ready to sell scheduled an AC tune-up so buyers would see a cared for system.
What Our Technician Found
Along with the regular tune-up checks, our technician found two electrical parts that needed to be replaced. The run capacitor (the part that gives the motor its starting kick) for the compressor (the pump inside the outdoor unit) was worn out, and so was the contactor (the switch that turns the outdoor unit on and off).
What We Completed
- Completed a tune-up, including an inspection and cleaning of key parts.
- Replaced the compressor run capacitor.
- Replaced the contactor in the outdoor unit.
- Checked that the system started and ran right after the new parts went in.
The Result
The system got a full tune-up plus new starting parts, so it is less likely to sit quiet when a buyer or inspector turns it on. Learn more about our AC maintenance.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- A tune-up before a sale reduces surprises. Buyers and inspectors notice outdoor equipment that has not been cared for.
- Capacitors and contactors wear out together. Both take a hit every time the outdoor unit starts.
- A clean outdoor unit looks better in photos. Cleaning it and knowing its condition helps when you list the home.
