Summer Diagnostic for your AC

Summer's in full blast with temperatures reaching into the hundreds. If your AC or Heatpump is down we can help.

What are some of the common things that can go wrong with your air conditioner? Well one of the most common things that happens is that when it gets really hot capacitors overheat and can swell, rendering them useless and shutting down your system. We stock many sizes of capacitors on our trucks and vans. The capacitor is a device that assists your condenser's fan motor and compressor on start up, as well as keeping the current in phase which gives more torque or power. Without a properly functioning one it can damage the motors and shut down your system, with the end result of no cool air in your home. We have the tools to properly diagnose these items and make a replacement quickly and at a very reasonable price.

Another type of capacitor that can go out is commonly referred to as a kick start or start capacitor. Many of the higher end compressors will use this type and if this one goes out it will place a strain on the motor windings and eventually the unit will not come on. Again, we have the tools to properly diagnose and fix this when it happens.

 Don't be left out in the heat! Be sure and give us a call. Right now we have a July Special to diagnose your Air Conditioning Problem in your home for only $59. Give us a call at 916-751-6060 and we can help you.
