We just moved into our new home with central AC (first in 3 homes) last August when everything was working fine. I went to turn it on in this mini heatwave we're having in the in the NE and.... Dead. Nada! Having worked on every possible type of homeowners headaches for the past 30 years I suspected a number of issues and worse case scenarios. I didn't need to get all the way through your video because, 4:10 helped me get straight to the issue (and also the foul stench of death). I pulled the cover of the electrical and (not) to my surprise there were two eyes staring out at me. Yup, it was a tiny cute gray/grey mouse. Well I gently booted it out and removed it's decomposing partner, cleaned out the nest to find a chewed thermostat wire and also the capacitor which was covered in about an inch of excrement and nesting leaves. So, I turned off the power at the breaker(s) repaired the wire turned it on and voila, it started right up BUT the capacitor was smoking at the wires which still were covered in excrement and nest. Seems that all that goo created a short so I cleaned it off and now VOILA back in business. One warning, make sure you clean everything off thoroughly inside the electrical component (box) otherwise you could most definitely and inadvertently start a small fire. Thanks for your help! Great videos!

In areas with heavy cotton wood, it gets hard to keep up with, as far as cleaning. What I started doing is buying screen material and a bunch of magnets to put around the condenser. Then all you do is remove the screen when it gets plugged up and brush it off. Works like a charm. No more head pressure problems.

I also paused and changed my dirty filter. I saw some water on the floor and found the drain hose 90 % plugged where it connects to the humidifier drain by the floor drain. When I pulled apart where the two hoses connect by the drain I was surprised how much water came out of the hose. No telling how much money you just saved me if this had gone on any longer.

Spot on brother. Clean filters and clean coils are essential to an efficient system. Here in Florida, the name of the game is airflow to get rid of that heat! In summer, I keep an "el-cheapo" 20" box fan running at high speed aimed at my condenser coil midsection to "super-charge" the heat exchange and cut down my cycle times. Works great. It gets colder, faster, in the house so you know it works (and it lowers my compressor head pressure too)..

Change filters regularly and keep that indoor coil clean. Once it freezes that ice can crush the welds and cause a leak.

So they don’t have to see guys like us to fix problems and they keep more money in there pockets.

You explained many questions I had as the previous technician who came to my house kept his answers short and not informative causing me to make a big error. You explained it much better. He cause me to not change my filter as often as I was (I have the 5 inch ones and was changing every 3=6 months based on how dirty it looked. he told me you cant go by that so I kept the last filter in for 3 years. BIG MISTAKE!. I should have just kept changing it as I was doing and probably wouldn't have this ac issue right now. I am angry at myself for not looking into the answer further thinking he knew better than me. Ill trust my gut instinct over a tech's poorly explained answer next time. Thanks for explaining.

I have about a 17 yr old Tappan AC condenser being replaced next week with a new Am Standard 14 SEER unit. And a new coil too. Its not the top of line Am Stdard unit but should be more efficient than my old one. My furnace went out 3 yrs ago, so it will stay. That is a Heil furnace that works very well. I'm hoping I get long, no issue service with this new Am Standard unit. The old 4 ton Tappan just started a tiny freon leak last year. And I have replaced a couple capacitors in last 2 yrs as well in the old unit. Just hope I get another 15-20 yrs problem free service. I've read the new HVACs are not as good as older units from back when. I thought Tappan only made toasters, so I'm glad it lasted as long as it did. I will be sure and do more maintenance to my complete HVAC system in the future. Thanks for these tips/

I learned about the dual run capacitor and the contactors many years ago from having one of those Home Depot sponsored AC tune up visits. The guy charged me $45 for the visit and measured my dual run capacitor and said it was weak. He said he could replace it for $200. He also said my contactors were pitted. The contactor is basically a relay near that dual run capacitor that is activated by the brown control wire mention in this video and controls the flow of AC main power to the motors in the compressor unit. He said he could change this out for $200 as well. I told him I'd think about it and get back to him. Yeah the dual run capacitor will run $15 to $20 on Amazon and a new contactor set about the same. So $35 to $40 in parts he wanted $400 to change out. Now my only concern with the advice in this video ... keeping one of those dual run capacitors on hand as a backup I don't know if I'd do that for years. The capacitor will degrade over time just sitting on the shelf unused. That spare you think you have might not be good when you finally need it. It's a cheap enough part that you could probably just afford to order one in late Spring before it gets hot and change it out fresh every other year or so as a general maintenance task. Or, at the very least, get yourself a decent volt meter that measures capacitance and check the capacitance values every Spring to see that they measure close to the rated values listed on the capacitor casing. If you do this before it gets hot you'll have time to get a replacement delivered before you need your A/C.

@Tony T there is no board in my compressor unit outside. Just the simple relay that the thermostat wire causes to open and close to control 240V to the two motors in the compressor unit. It's a simple relay, no board involved. I think technically they're called "contactors" but they're just an electro-mechanical relay. Mine is controlled by 24V to the relay coil.

Thanks for all the tutorials and tips regarding AC systems. One word of advice is not to operate the condensing unit when the outdoor temperature is below 65F, as this may damage the compressor. In addition, do not operate the condensing unit before 24 hours from turning the electric power to a property that has been vacant. The oil and refrigerant in the compressor may be mixed in the base of the compressor. This may also damage the compressor.

I'm a new home owner of 6 years and I'm still learning A LOT. This was very helpful. My outside unit had a lot of leaves and debris inside the main unit. Thank you for the information to keep my cost down by knowing how to do things myself.

Thank you so much. I would never think to take it apart to look inside. I always thought you just changed the filters. I guess that's all most people do.

I watch all of your videos & love them. Had to have a service all today on my AC; your right! Capacitor!!!!!! $218.00. It's better than have to replace the whole unit. He wanted to clean my unit but the faucet handle was stripped ... from the neighbor who used to cut my grass (and did a terrible job). Now I have to have a plumber. Can't do much of anything these days because of arthritis in my spine & in horrible pain when active. I'm pushing 80 & a woman; he was shocked when I informed him the cost of a capacitor; I felt rather brilliant LOL! I said well, anyone knows what that is, and of course there is the "Flux Capacitor" used by "Doc's" DeLorean he used to send Marty to 1955 in the movie "Back To The Future." I had such a wonderful July 1st ... iphone died, AC died, and garage door fell and just missed killing me off; OH YES! Then AC guy informed me my faucet hand is broke.
