HVAC Maintenance Contract: AC capacitor
Understanding the role of capacitors in your HVAC system is crucial for maintaining its efficiency and preventing breakdowns, especially during peak usage times. Dean from Casey Services Heating and Air explains the importance of capacitors, which act like a battery to help start and run the motors of air conditioning units effectively.
Capacitors are essential for both starting the motor—giving it that initial jolt of energy like a morning coffee—and for its continuous running. When a capacitor is not functioning properly, it can cause the motor to run hot, increase electricity consumption, and lead to premature motor failure due to higher amp draw. Regular checks of the capacitors can prevent these issues by ensuring they perform within manufacturer specifications.
Dean highlights that a significant percentage of air conditioner breakdowns during hot weather are related to capacitor issues. By incorporating capacitor checks into regular maintenance visits, which involve measuring the microfarads with a voltmeter capacitor checker, technicians can spot early signs of wear and replace them before they cause system failures.
Maintaining detailed service records is another practice emphasized by Casey Services, which not only helps in maintaining your HVAC system based on its history but also provides valuable information to new homeowners about the condition and maintenance history of their systems.
