A Greenwood homeowner’s AC quit overnight, so he ran just the fan to move some air. He could hear a sound from the outdoor unit, but the outdoor fan would not turn on.
What Our Technician Found
Our technician tested the electrical parts at the outdoor unit. The capacitor (a part that gives the motors the boost they need to start) needed to be replaced. This is an older system, so he also looked over the contactor (the switch that turns the outdoor unit on and off) and the wiring while he was there.
What We Completed
- Tested the capacitor and electrical parts at the outdoor unit.
- Replaced the capacitor.
- Checked the contactor and wiring.
- Checked the system after the repair.
The Result
The outdoor unit has a new capacitor, and the homeowner also joined our Comfort Club (our maintenance plan). Learn more about our AC repair.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- A sound from the outdoor unit with no fan is a warning sign. Turn the system off and call for service.
- Capacitors wear out. Heat and age take a toll on them.
- Older systems benefit from regular checks. Small parts are easier to replace before they fail.
