Failed run capacitors during summer heat
Why it happens here
Capacitors degrade faster in high heat, and Haywood Road summers push outdoor units past 100 degrees in the sun. A weak capacitor makes the compressor draw higher amps, which leads to overheating and eventual failure. It is the number one no-cool call we run in July.
Our approach
We test every capacitor with a multimeter and replace weak ones before they fail completely. Our trucks carry run and start capacitors for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem systems, so most repairs finish in one visit.
