Stay cool before the heat wave even hits! ☀️🏡

There is nothing worse than your AC blowing warm air on a scorching 90-degree afternoon. Want to know a secret? The number one reason an AC unit suddenly stops blowing cold air is a blown capacitor.

Think of your capacitor like a giant battery that gives your AC compressor and fan motor the high-voltage "kick" they need to start up. When it gets temps get extreme outside, your system works twice as hard, causing these little parts to overheat and fail.

Don't get caught stranded in the heat! Be the home hero, and save yourself a massive headache by keeping a backup on hand.

We stock a wide variety of factory OEM air filters. Why settle for something that does not fit properly? If you purchase something generic that does not fit properly the air will bypass around the edges of the filter and defeat the purpose of having a quality filter installation.

During the high heat conditions it is a good idea to make sure your air filter is not dirty. A dirty filter decreases your airflow. Design condition for Indiana is 95 degree outdoor air. When the temperature increases above this your A/C unit may struggle to keep up. A dirty air filter adds to the issue. We do not recommend using the higher merv rated 1" air filters. We see issues daily with air restriction caused by this. ALlways use a basic 1" pleated air filter.

In the heat of the summer it is common for capacitors to fail. The symptoms of a failed capacitor are either the fan motor not starting or the compressor humming and shutting off every few minutes or not starting at all. The capacitor should be perfectly flat on top. If it has a slight dome shape on the top where the wires come out it has overheated and failed and needs replaced. We have most capacitors in stock. We can ship them to you or you can stop in and pick one up.

Replacing a capacitor on your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning system is a very easy do it yourself project. Make sure the power is disconnected before attempting this repair. A capacitor has 2 types of ratings. The first is the uf (microfarad) rating and the second is the VAC (voltage) ratin...
