Your AC blower's primary function is circulating air within the HVAC system. It draws in warm or cool air from the indoor space and pushes it through the system's various components. If the blower is faulty, it doesn't push warm indoor air across the evaporator coil containing a cold refrigerant. The air doesn't lose heat when passes over the coil, and warm air is blown back into the living space. The indoor temperature doesn't fall.
The capacitor in an HVAC system is an electrical device that stores and releases electrical energy in order to help start and maintain the operation of the blower motor.
Capacitors can degrade or fail over time due to wear and tear, and when they do, it can lead to motor starting problems, poor airflow, or even complete motor failure. If you notice issues with your blower motor, it's essential to have a qualified HVAC technician inspect and potentially replace the capacitor if it's found to be faulty. Replacing a faulty capacitor is a relatively common maintenance task for Prime Air Solutions contractors. Contact us at (619) 655-3355 today, and we return cold air to your house.
