Richey's Heating & Air Conditioning | Experienced HVAC Services in Anderson, SC

Yes, a failed capacitor is one of the most common reasons an AC unit stops cooling, especially during our hot Anderson summers. It's a critical component that helps start the compressor and fan motors. Richey's technicians keep common capacitor types in stock for most local systems and can typically diagnose and replace a faulty one during the same service call, restoring your cooling quickly.

Thermostat issues, from incorrect readings to unresponsive controls, are a frequent call we get. Often, the problem can be a simple wiring issue or calibration error that our technicians can repair on the spot. If the unit is outdated or damaged beyond repair, we'll provide straightforward advice on a replacement, including modern, energy-efficient models that can help Anderson homeowners save on utility bills.

Key warning signs include your AC unit humming but not starting, the system turning off unexpectedly, or a noticeable delay when the compressor tries to kick on. You might also hear a clicking sound. Since a failing capacitor puts extra strain on other components, it's best to call Richey's at the first sign of trouble to prevent a complete breakdown during our hottest weather.
