Home Air Conditioner (AC) Not Working? Check/Replace the Capacitor!

If your home AC stops working, check the capacitor. Replacing a capacitor might sound intimidating, but I consider this repair low hanging fruit and a good/quick DIY project which could save lots of money.
NOTE: I am not an HVAC expert, rather just a regular person with a passion to learn/grow!:)

Haven’t seen any videos from you in quite some time. I hope you are doing well. I just recommend some of your videos to a friend and thought I would check when your last video was. You’re a great teacher and I hope to see you out there still teaching.

What a nice thing to do. Thanks for your knowledge not only in photography but in household maintenance!

[@RealWorld]

Thank you Cindy!:) I started this channel to help people with everyday issues/challenges and it quickly shifted to photography:). Nonetheless, I created a few videos early-on focused on home maintenance, and they are surprisingly doing well to this day - helping a bunch of people. I plan to release more videos on how-to along with photo adventures and reviews:).

It's good of you to help others, it's not an issue we usually need in the UK, although we do sometimes have heatwaves in summer

Hey buddy! Glad to see you are posting something again. I have missed some of your earlier stuff but will get caught up! Am I mistaken or is that a heat pump? I am in TN and we have one of those. Yep, those capacitors are a frequent thing. The guy who owns the AC company is also the same guy who I purchased my system from. It has a 10 year warranty on parts and then I have a service contract with them also. The contract only cost $90 twice a year and they test everything (it is really just a way to keep cash coming in when work is slow) in return they give me about 50% off on labor!!. My last capacitor/installed cost me $135 so that was reasonable. I like having them out incase I start to get any leaks because the freon is where the deal gets expensive. They have a way of calculating how many pounds of freon are in your system. I usually stand out there and rifle off questions to my teck buddy so I can learn first hand how and what to watch for! I even sell him some of my power tools to help him out and got his set up on a nice Makita battery system. Thank you for the video, I see you are not jumping head over heals to get into mirrorless, this is a good thing I feel. The next generation of cameras will be the real mind benders with all the AI and where the chip manufacturing has evolved. We are still behind the curve on many of these things because of covid shutdowns and stock problems. All that old stuff has to get through the system first before the "Real New" stuff hits the stage. I don't think the mirrorless is that big of a jump, besides I am a market laggart not and early consumer. I want the deals!!!!! Great video! Rich
