Your air conditioner capacitor is the device that provides your unit with the initial power boost it needs to cycle on. It also supplies power to the AC that allows the unit to complete a cooling cycle. Some signs that your capacitor may not be working include:
- The air conditioner will either not turn on or take a while to start after you turn it on.
- The unit is not blowing cold air.
- There is a humming noise coming from the AC.
- The unit keeps shutting down.
Do you suspect a bad AC capacitor? Garner Heating & Air Conditioning can help! We provide accurate and reliable AC repair services at competitive prices. Contact us today to learn more!
On average, you can expect your AC unit to last between 10 - 15 years. To prolong the life of your unit, make sure to:
- Have it serviced regularly - Maintenance service has been shown to not only help central air conditioning systems last longer, but also run more efficiently and ward off future breakdowns.
- Run it reasonably - Our Texas summers can be brutal. However, if the temperature hits over a hundred degrees outside, trying to cool your home to 60 degrees will put undue stress on the unit and shorten its working life.
- Change filters on time - Changing the air filters in your home helps your AC run more smoothly by allowing air to circulate easier. New air filters also collect more dust and dirt that will prevent extra debris from getting into the system.
To learn more, contact the experts at Garner Heating & Air Conditioning today! We offer professional AC installation services guaranteed to keep you and your family cool for years to come.
On average, the repair cost to replace an AC capacitor runs around $300 - $400 for a professional technician to complete. You can expect the job to take between 1 - 2 hours.
For a more accurate estimate, Garner Heating & Air Conditioning can help! We offer “Peace Of Mind” pricing, which means we provide the price before doing the repair and never add an additional charge on top of it. Contact us today to learn more!

- Higher energy bills.
- The cost to have your HVAC unit repaired is more than half the cost of a new unit.
- Uneven temperatures in your home.

Ductless Mini-Split Repair: A homeowner complained their ductless mini-split system was failing to heat a room adequately. We discovered a clogged air filter and a refrigerant leak. After replacing the filter and sealing the leak, the system resumed effective heating. We recommended regular filter checks and maintenance to ensure ongoing performance.
Performed a heater tune-up. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. I cleared the drain line and tested the condensation pump. I also treated the drain line.

Performed semiannual maintenance on two liquid propane furnaces. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. I did note that both systems are running high static pressure above the manufacturer rating. However, due to how the attic was spray foamed after the installation of the HVAC systems, without removing the spray foam lining and cover from the furnaces, there is not much that can be done to help with air pressure relief. I did change out two 16x25x4 air filters at the filter bases. Everything is working at this time. Did reset filter and service reminders on the controllers inside the home.
Performed semiannual maintenance on one heat pump heating system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. Changed out one AprilAire 210 filter that the homeowner provided. Also cleaned and cleared the primary drain line that ties into the downstairs hall bath sink. Added a new fresh layer of JS insecticide at the outdoor unit to help deter ants from getting inside the outdoor unit and damaging electrical components. Verified everything was operating within manufacture specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time.

Indoor Air Purification Installation Service: With the client concerned about poor indoor air quality during the autumn months, I installed a high-efficiency air purification system with a HEPA filter into the HVAC system. This system now removes allergens and airborne particles, ensuring a cleaner, healthier indoor environment.
Performed diagnostic on the system and found that the primary drain line has clogged. This tripped the water safety switch and shut off the outdoor unit. I also found that the outdoor condenser fan motor is showing signs of overheating. I presented my findings to the homeowner, and she chose to have the drain cleared today only. I cleared the drain line and tested it with two gallons of water. I also taped down some insulation on the air handler panel. I wiped down the system and glued the secondary drain back together since it had come apart. I ran the system for 15 minutes and it is now draining properly. System operational.
Air Conditioning Repair Service: I arrived to address poor airflow in a client’s AC unit and discovered a misaligned blower fan. By carefully realigning the fan, I restored proper air circulation, ensuring consistent and efficient cooling performance during the transitional autumn period.
Performed cooling maintenance on two Carrier Infinity systems. Checked all electrical, mechanical and performance of both systems. Cleared the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. I replaced the filters with customer supplied filters and also removed the 1-inch filters. I did find that both blower wheels are dirty, and the majority of the ducts are dirty as well. The air purifier on the system on the right side of the home has failed. The condenser fan motor on the right side is showing signs of overheating. No other major issues found.
Performed AC cool check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety and performance of the system. The drain line was cleared, and flow tested with two gallons of water. The drain line was then treated. The air handler, evaporator coil and blower wheel are clean. System sterilizers are operational. The blower motor capacitor is below value. The condenser fan motor and contactor are both in good condition. The capacitor for the condenser unit is within value. The refrigerant charge is within factory specifications. The condenser coil was cleaned. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and Shea chose to have the blower motor capacitor replaced. I replaced the blower motor capacitor and function checked the system. The system is running at the time of departure.
