Yes, a failed capacitor is one of the most common causes of AC failure in our Scottsdale heat. It's a component that helps start your compressor and fan motors. Our technicians will test the capacitor with specialized tools. If it's faulty, we'll replace it with a high-quality, correctly rated part to ensure your system starts and runs smoothly, restoring cool air to your home quickly and reliably.

A grinding or screeching noise from your outdoor condenser unit often indicates a failing fan motor bearing, a frequent issue here due to constant operation. Forbes Refrigeration will inspect the motor and its assembly. We'll provide a clear diagnosis and, if needed, replace the motor with a durable OEM or equivalent part, ensuring proper airflow and preventing further damage to your compressor, which is a much costlier repair.

Scottsdale's extreme summer heat forces AC systems to run nearly constantly for months, putting tremendous stress on electrical components like capacitors and mechanical parts like fan motors. Our preventative maintenance service is designed for this environment. We clean the system, check electrical connections, test components under load, and lubricate moving parts. This proactive care from Forbes can identify wear before it causes a breakdown, improving efficiency and extending the life of your system.
