AC Tune-Up Finds a Worn Switch in Greenwood, AR (New Contactor)

A Greenwood homeowner booked an AC tune-up online.

What Our Technician Found

During the tune-up, our technician opened up the outdoor unit and checked the electrical parts. He found the contactor worn. The contactor is the switch that sends power to the outdoor unit when the thermostat calls for cooling. A worn contactor can stick, burn or stop making good contact, and it is a common reason an AC stops running.
