HVAC Services Elizabeth NJ | Call Gilbert Air

This is a common issue in our area, often caused by overworked components. During intense heat, your system runs constantly, which can lead to capacitor failure, refrigerant issues, or a frozen evaporator coil. Our technicians perform a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple capacitor replacement or a deeper refrigerant leak—and provide a lasting repair to restore efficient cooling.

A failing capacitor, a frequent repair we see in Elizabeth, often shows clear symptoms. Listen for a humming noise from your outdoor unit when the AC tries to start, or notice that the fan isn't spinning. You might also experience intermittent cooling or the system shutting off completely. If you hear these sounds, especially during hot weather, it's time to call us for a prompt capacitor check and replacement to prevent a complete breakdown.

The best defense is a proactive spring tune-up. Our preventative maintenance service includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing capacitors and electrical connections, and ensuring all components are in top shape before the summer strain begins. This neighborly check-up can identify small issues before they leave you without cool air on the hottest day, saving you money and stress while extending your system's life.
