What are the signs of a bad AC capacitor?

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!

How long do AC units last?

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.

How much does it cost to replace an AC capacitor?

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!

How much does a new AC system cost in Driftwood?

Having a new air conditioning system installed in Driftwood can cost anywhere from $7,000-$15,000, with most people paying an average of $10,000. Some of the factors that can influence the cost of installation include the labor costs, the size of your home and the size, brand and type of air conditioner you want installed.

Garner Heating & Air Conditioning offers the best AC services in Driftwood. To have a new AC system installed in your home, give us a call today!

How often should my HVAC system be serviced?

Along with improving your system’s efficiency and helping your units to last longer, regular HVAC maintenance can find any problems your heating and cooling systems may be having and can help to prevent future problems from occurring. HVAC systems need to be serviced once a year. Typically, it’s ideal to have your AC serviced in the Spring and your heater serviced in the Fall. This way, you can rest assured that your HVAC systems will last you through the months you’ll use them the most.

To get on our HVAC maintenance plan, give Garner Heating & Air Conditioning a call today!

When should I consider replacing my HVAC system?

HVAC systems typically last around 15-20 years before they’ll need to be replaced, but you can help to extend their useful life by having them properly maintained. However, they may need to be replaced sooner if they break down frequently or lose efficiency. Some common signs you may need to have your HVAC systems replaced soon include:

  • 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.
  • Loud noises coming from the unit.
  • Unpleasant odors coming from your HVAC system.

Spoke with homeowner, he mentioned that the system upstairs was no longer blowing cool air, just recirculating the air already up there. I turned on the system and checked the outdoor condensing unit. I found there was no control voltage at the contactor relay. I was able to narrow down the issue to the high pressure switch being tripped. I reset the switch and the compressor kicked on but the condenser fan motor was not running. I tested and verified that the outdoor run capacitor was still within range across the FAN terminals. I gave the fan blade a push and found it was stuck. I was able to forcefully spin it to get it going and I checked refrigerant charge. Did find refrigerant levels to be extremely low on the system, running with a 1°SC. The fan motor bearings have failed as the blade takes an extreme force to rotate. I presented repair options to homeowner and he chose to replace the condenser fan motor today. Installed new condenser fan motor. Tested the system and

Performed semiannual maintenance on two gas furnace heating systems. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. I did note while onsite that the inlet fuel pressure to both furnaces was under the minimum requirements. I raised the inlet pressure up and was able to properly adjust the gas manifold pressure of the furnaces to 11inWC to ensure 100% heating capacity. I also changed out both AprilAire filters (213 & 413) at the furnaces, as the main house area furnace filter was becoming dark in color and dirty which was beginning to cause an airflow restriction. Ensured both furnaces were powered back on cycled power prior to leaving. Everything is working at this time.
