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!

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.

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.

Service
Fowler - Driftwood, TX 78619
Not being an air conditioner repair person I have to take the technician’s word that they did a great job. I thought some of the prices he quoted was way out of the ball park. Thought Mr Torres was a pleasant guy and courteous.

Air Conditioning System Replacement Service near Ranch to Market Rd 150. During a routine maintenance check-up, we discovered that the client's air conditioning unit was in need of replacement. Today, we arrived to install the new system, meticulously removing the old unit from the home. Carefully installing the new system, we thoroughly checked all components to ensure proper operation. The new A/C system is now functioning in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, providing reliable cooling for the client.

Jason D.
Performed semiannual maintenance on two heat pump cooling systems. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. While inspecting the upstairs system, I noticed the refrigerant charge to be low. Homeowners mentioned that the previous company that came out recharged the system but was unable to locate the leak. I used my electronic leak detector and located a significant leak inside the indoor fan coil. Also used bubble leak detection to confirm leak. Showed the homeowner the leak as well and we agreed the leak needs to be resolved. Flushed and treated all drain lines and drain pans. All air purification systems are on and operational at the time of departure. Changed two 20x25 F100 filters provided by homeowner. We decided to move forward with replacement of the indoor coil and install surge protection devices on both air handlers and the downstairs heat pump. Replaced the indoor coil on the upstairs unit. Removed the old refrigerant and old inline filter dryer.

Ethan D.
Began replacing ductwork for three system reduct. Installed new media filters underneath air handlers and insulated upstairs chase in attic. Installed new supply plenums and ran new flex duct. Added new buckets and supply registers. Added new extended supply on system one and installed new filter base. Added new buckets and flex ducts and sealed all pressure points with air lock. System operating at this time.

HVAC Maintenance near Heitzler Ln. It was time for the spring maintenance check-up so we came out to the residence to check on the system. When I arrived at the home, I carefully looked over all components of the client’s HVAC system to ensure it is operating well and will continue to serve them as time goes on. The only issue that was noted was a clogged condensate line, so I cleared it out and now everything is working great!

Jason D.
On arrival, I found the system completely flat on refrigerant. I had to add refrigerant into the system to be able to run my electronic leak detector across the coil. Did find a leak at the service valve of the outdoor heat pump. Also inspected the indoor coil and found the coil to be extremely rusted and corroded. I recommended to the homeowner that we replace the indoor coil, replace the outdoor valve and recharge system back to factory specifications to return to 100% cooling and heating capacity. I also recommend installing our Stage 1 & 3 Breathe Easy Packages to keep the complete HVAC system clean, as there are signs of microbial growth inside the indoor air handler. Installed new indoor coil and rebuilt and insulated condensate drain. Also installed Stage 1 & 3 Breathe easy packages. Replaced the outdoor valve and charged system to factory specs. System is working properly at time of departure.

Did find two ruptures inside the indoor fan coil causing a leak of refrigerant. Did also note the underside of the coil is dirty causing an airflow restriction of the heating and cooling system. Due to current conditions of the unit, I do recommend replacement of the indoor air handling unit to allow for complete heating and cooling operations.

Recommend a complete indoor air handler cleaning and replacement of the outdoor run capacitor to return system back to factory fresh. Everything is working at this time.
