What are the signs of a bad AC capacitor?

Common signs include a system that hums but won't start, hard starting, shutting off mid-cycle, weak cooling, clicking sounds, or a fan that won't spin. A failing capacitor is one of the most frequent HVAC breakdowns — and often an easy, affordable fix when caught in time.

What does a capacitor do in my HVAC system?

The capacitor stores and delivers the jolt of energy your system's motors need to start and keep running. When it weakens or fails, motors struggle to start or stop working altogether — which is why a small capacitor can bring your whole system to a halt.

How much does it cost to replace a capacitor?

Capacitor replacement is usually one of the most affordable HVAC repairs — the part itself is inexpensive and the fix is quick. Be cautious of anyone using a failed capacitor to push a full system replacement. We diagnose honestly and charge fairly for exactly what's needed.

Can I replace an HVAC capacitor myself?

We don't recommend it. Capacitors store an electrical charge even when the power is off and can cause serious shock if handled improperly. A professional replacement is quick, safe, and includes testing the related components to make sure nothing else is failing.

Why did my capacitor fail?

Capacitors wear out naturally over time, and Maryland's summer heat can shorten their life. Power surges and an aging system can also contribute. Because they're inexpensive and fail predictably, regular electrical testing during maintenance is the best way to catch a weak one before it quits.
