Yes, a failed capacitor is a very common reason for an AC shutdown in our climate. It's a critical component that helps your compressor and fan motors start. We keep common capacitors on our trucks for most brands, so our technicians can often diagnose and replace a faulty capacitor on the same service call, getting your cool air back quickly.

For most homes in our area, we recommend checking your filter monthly and replacing it every 1-3 months. Factors like pets, local pollen, and construction can clog filters faster. A clean filter is crucial—it protects your system from dust, improves airflow for better efficiency, and helps maintain good indoor air quality for your family.

Our comprehensive maintenance visit is designed to catch small issues before they become big problems. We clean condenser and evaporator coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections and capacitors, lubricate moving parts, test system controls and safety devices, and ensure your thermostat is calibrated. This proactive care improves efficiency, extends system life, and gives you peace of mind.
