A Van Buren Comfort Club (our maintenance plan) member called because the system would not turn on after a storm came through.
What Our Technician Found
Our technician opened up the outdoor unit and tested the electrical parts. He found the capacitor needed to be replaced. The capacitor is a part that stores a burst of power and gives the motors the push they need to start. Storms and power blips can be hard on electrical parts like this one.
What We Completed
- Tested the outdoor unit’s electrical parts.
- Replaced the capacitor.
- Installed a surge protector at the outdoor unit.
- Checked the system with gauges after the repair.
The Result
The system is running again, and the new surge protector gives the outdoor unit extra protection the next time the power acts up. Learn more about our AC repair.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- Storms can knock out more than the power. Surges can damage parts inside your system.
- Check the breaker first. If it is fine and the system still will not run, call us.
- A surge protector is worth asking about. It helps shield the parts that cost the most to replace.
