A/C CAPACITOR — THE POWER BEHIND A RELIABLE START

A/C CAPACITOR — THE POWER BEHIND A RELIABLE START

Your A/C capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the compressor and fan motors start and continue running properly.

✔ Helps start the compressor
✔ Powers the condenser fan motor
✔ Supports smooth motor operation
✔ Reduces stress on electrical components
✔ Helps maintain reliable cooling
✔ Supports efficient system performance

⚠️ Texas heat can weaken a capacitor over time. A failing capacitor may prevent the outdoor unit from starting and can place unnecessary stress on the compressor and fan motor.

Common warning signs include:

• A/C takes longer to start
• Outdoor fan does not spin
• Humming or clicking sounds
• Weak or inconsistent cooling
• System shuts off unexpectedly
• Swollen, leaking, or damaged capacitor

Capacitors store electrical energy even when the power is disconnected. They should only be tested or replaced by a trained professional.

Keep your A/C starting reliably with professional diagnostics from Uptown Heating & Air Conditioning.

A/C DRAIN PAN — PROTECTING YOUR HOME FROM WATER DAMAGE

A/C DRAIN PAN — PROTECTING YOUR HOME FROM WATER DAMAGE

Your A/C drain pan collects condensation produced by the evaporator coil and directs it into the drain line. Although it may seem simple, it plays an important role in protecting your home.

✔ Collects moisture from the cooling process
✔ Directs water toward the drain line
✔ Helps prevent leaks around the indoor unit
✔ Reduces the risk of ceiling and property damage
✔ Works with the float switch for added protection
✔ Supports safe and reliable operation

⚠️ A cracked, rusted, incorrectly sized, or improperly tilted drain pan may allow water to overflow or leak into your home.

Common warning signs include:

• Water around the indoor unit
• Water collecting in the emergency pan
• Rust, cracks, or corrosion
• Ceiling stains or moisture
• Musty odors near the equipment
• A/C shutting off because of the float switch

The drain pan and drain line should be inspected and cleaned regularly. If water is present, the cause should be identified before damage occurs.

Help protect your home with professional A/C maintenance from Uptown Heating & Air Conditioning.
