HVAC DIY success story
I live in Central California and our summers are HOT. With the temps rising and summer approaching, my AC decided to act up and blow warm/room temp air. I had recently changed the filter so I knew that wasn’t the issue. I was reluctant to call a professional out of fear of what could be and money is very tight atm. A couple of nights went by and everyone (2 small children and wife) was cranky. I couldn’t sleep feeling like I was letting my family down :(
I hopped on the roof to inspect the unit. It looked like the compressor and fan were having trouble starting. Did some research and made some calls. Came to the conclusion that the capacitor had potentially become faulty. I YouTubed how to replace it. $25 and an hour later, the problem was fixed. As I’m typing this, I’m sitting in my very cool living room feeling extremely proud of my self. I know it’s nothing major but my kids and wife are happy and it fills my heart. Anyways, thanks for reading!
