Air conditioners have 2 coils, one inside the house and the other one outside the house. The coil inside the house is called the evaporator coil while the one outside is called a condenser coil. Here is a summary of the steps to effectively clean the AC evaporator coil: How to Tell if an Evaporator … Read more

An air conditioner that is not cooling is often caused by a dirty filter or a blocked condenser coil, which both restrict the free flow of air. It could also be caused by a frozen evaporator coil, leaking refrigerant, clogged/leaky ducts, blocked AC drain line, tripped breaker, thermostat problems or even bad capacitors. When your … Read more

The common causes of an AC not blowing cold air are refrigerant leaks, thermostat problems, dirty air filters, blocked/closed air vents, clogged drain line, frozen evaporator coil, dirty condenser coil, leaking air ducts or power issues. Sometimes it could be failed components like the compressor or fan motors. Common Causes What to Do Let us … Read more

The reasons for an AC not turning on are problems with the thermostat, tripped breaker, blown fuses, failed capacitors, frozen evaporator coil, clogged condensate drain line or damaged/dead motors. Common Causes What to Do AC Not Turning on In House? Reasons and the Solutions Let us now look at the reasons why your air conditioner … Read more

When capacitors go bad, their ability to store charge reduces significantly. As a result, the capacitors cannot supply the AC motors with the startup torque needed and the AC will therefore not start or will take too long to start, and other AC components are likely to overheat and burn out. Here’s a summary of … Read more

Discharging an AC capacitor is a critical safety step before attempting any maintenance or replacement of the capacitor in an air conditioning system. Capacitors store electrical energy and can pose a danger if not discharged properly. Here’s a summary of how to safely discharge an AC capacitor: Discharging a Start vs Run Capacitor The rule … Read more

Dual run capacitors are essential components in many air conditioning and HVAC systems. They serve a dual purpose by providing electrical boosts to both the compressor and the fan motor. These capacitors are designed to improve the efficiency and performance of these critical AC components. Key points about dual run capacitors: Features of Dual Run … Read more

In most cases, your AC motor will fail to spin because of a failed capacitor. It could also be due to a burnout fan motor, dirty motor axle, tripped circuit breaker, bad contactor, slipped/broken fan belts or restricted airflow to the unit. Common Causes What to Do Troubleshooting an AC Fan That is Not Spinning … Read more

When your AC unit is buzzing but the fan is not spinning, it’s a common issue that can be caused by various factors. This problem can lead to reduced cooling efficiency or even a complete breakdown of your air conditioning system. Here’s a summary of the causes and solutions for this problem: Causes Solutions The … Read more

AC Capacitors are critical components in air conditioning systems, serving to start and run the compressor and fan motors efficiently. However, they can fail over time, leading to AC malfunction. Causes of AC Capacitor Failure Preventive Measures How to Tell if Your AC Capacitor is Blown Some of the first signs that you have blown … Read more
