"Big thumbs up to Ryan and crew! Handled my new install with professionalism and great communication. I took advantage of CT Rebate and Fed Tax Credit and purchased an efficient, 1st model year, high tech system from Carrier. After install there were some minor issues with unit as first year products have. Ryan expedited service of unit and had it operational. And itâ s been running flawlessly ever since. I highly recommend using them and Iâ ve been in the service business for 30+ years and know both good and badâ ¦ they are good! *Side note: Ct rebate program not that good. From what I hear people are not getting appropriate amounts due back to them.. that includes me. You have to keep after them. This is in no way a reflection of Kellyâ s Heating and Cooling"

Central a/c service or repairs FAQs

An AC capacitor provides the electrical energy needed to start and run your air conditioner's motors. It stores and releases electricity to keep the compressor and fans running smoothly. Without a functioning capacitor, your AC unit may not start or operate efficiently. If you notice problems with your AC unit, contact a professional to diagnose the problem and see if you need to replace your AC capacitor.

AC capacitors last between five and 15 years, with an average lifespan of ten years. Environmental conditions and system usage can affect their lifespan. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your capacitor. When your replacement capacitor is installed, be sure to ask your AC technician about best practices for maintenance and ongoing service to keep your unit in good condition for as long as possible.

While you might save between $60 and $200 by replacing the capacitor yourself, it's not recommended unless you have electrical expertise and proper safety equipment. Replacing a capacitor involves risks like electric shock and potential damage to your AC unit. It's safer to hire a certified HVAC technician who ensures safe and accurate installation.

It's safest to have a qualified technician inspect your AC capacitor. If you decide to look at it yourself after turning off all power, you can carefully remove the front panel and check the capacitor for any visible issues. However, handling electrical components carries risks, so professional inspection is recommended.
