⚡ Contactor — Small Part That Powers Your A/C

The A/C contactor is the electrical switch that sends power to your compressor and condenser fan. Every time your thermostat calls for cooling, the contactor closes to start the system.

Over time, contactors wear out, burn, or stick because of heat and electrical arcing. If it fails, your A/C may stop working completely.

✅ Why checking the contactor is important:
• Allows power to reach the compressor and fan
• Prevents system startup failures
• Reduces risk of electrical damage
• Helps maintain reliable cooling
• Protects other A/C components

⚠️ Signs your contactor may be failing:
• A/C not turning on
• Clicking sounds from the outdoor unit
• System starting and stopping randomly
• Burn marks or pitted contacts

🔧 During maintenance, technicians inspect the contactor, capacitor, and electrical connections to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Don’t wait for your A/C to stop working in the heat.
