Kent Harvey Heating & Cooling - Orange Park's Certified HVAC Services

Yes, a failed electrical capacitor is a very common culprit in our area, especially during hot summers when the system works hardest. The capacitor helps start the compressor and fan motors. When it fails, your AC unit may hum but not start, or it may trip the circuit breaker. Our technicians can quickly test and replace a faulty capacitor, often restoring your cooling on the same service call.

Warning signs include loud grinding or rattling noises from the outdoor unit, the system frequently tripping its breaker, or warm air blowing from your vents. Compressor failure is a serious issue often caused by age, lack of maintenance, or electrical problems. We provide thorough diagnostics to confirm the issue and discuss all your repair or replacement options to ensure your home stays comfortable.

Florida's constant heat and humidity cause significant wear on HVAC components. Our preventative maintenance service includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, tightening electrical connections, and testing components like capacitors and compressor windings. This proactive care helps identify small issues before they lead to a major breakdown, improves efficiency to lower your bills, and extends the overall life of your system.
