A weak run capacitor found during AC inspection
During the inspection, our licensed HVAC technician found the run capacitor was out of tolerance. A weak capacitor can prevent the compressor from receiving the electrical assistance it needs to start properly, placing added strain on system startup.
Electrical components inside an air conditioner should be tested and replaced carefully because they directly affect compressor operation and system reliability.
Replacing the weak capacitor and adding a hard start kit helps support dependable startup and reliable cooling.
