Yes, that's a very common problem here, especially during our intense summer heat. The capacitor helps start your AC's motors, and the strain from constant cycling can cause it to fail. If you hear a humming sound from the outdoor unit but the fan isn't spinning, a faulty capacitor is a likely culprit. Our technicians carry common capacitors and can typically diagnose and replace it quickly to restore your cooling.

That ice buildup is often due to a frozen evaporator coil, another frequent issue we see locally. It's usually caused by restricted airflow from a dirty air filter, low refrigerant levels, or a failing blower motor. It's important to turn the system off to let it thaw and call us. We'll identify the root cause—whether it's a simple filter change or a refrigerant leak repair—to prevent further damage and restore efficient cooling.

Beyond capacitors and frozen coils, we frequently respond to complete system failures during heat waves. Often, this stems from neglected maintenance that lets small problems escalate. Our most common emergency fix is getting a system that's tripped a safety switch back online, which might involve clearing a blocked drain line, resetting a circuit, or replacing a failed contactor. Regular tune-ups can prevent most of these urgent calls.
