Common Emergency HVAC Repair Problems

We’ve been in the business for over 40 years and we’ve seen a lot of the same issues come up again and again. Some of the most frequent emergency HVAC repair calls we get are because of:

Blown Fuses

Fuses help protect your HVAC unit’s motor or compressor from overheating. If a technician suspects that the motor has gone bad, the breaker is one of the first things he or she will look at.

Worn Contactor

Each unit has three contactors: one for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor, and one for the blower motor. These contractors will create an electrical connection when they are needed for heating or cooling. In a properly functioning unit, this will engage the compressor and motors. In a poorly functioning unit, arcing and pitting can form on the contactor. This makes it difficult for the electrical current to pass which hinders the motor from starting.

Capacitors

The run capacitor helps your unit’s motors run at a consistent speed. The start capacitor gives the compressor a quick jolt to start rotation. If either of these capacitors burns out, it will need to be replaced by an emergency HVAC repair technician.
