Failed Capacitor
The #1 summer no-cool call. We test microfarad rating, replace with the correct match, and check why it failed (often heat-aged or a high-voltage event).
Same-day repairs when the calendar allows. Real diagnostics — static pressure, refrigerant charge, electrical readings — not "looks low, top it off." Operator-led, photo-documented, $95 diagnostic waived with repair.
Most no-cooling calls in Prosper trace back to a handful of failure points. Here's what we see, what causes it, and what we do about it.
The #1 summer no-cool call. We test microfarad rating, replace with the correct match, and check why it failed (often heat-aged or a high-voltage event).
Indoor coil pinholes, Schrader valves, line-set rubs. We pressure-test, locate the leak, and repair or replace — not just "add a pound and see."
Dirty coil, low charge, or restricted airflow. We thaw safely, find the root cause, and document it so it doesn't happen again next month.
Short-cycling and pitted contacts. We replace the contactor, check the system for the underlying short-cycle cause (sizing, charge, controls).
Bearings, capacitor, or ECM control board. We diagnose which and price both repair and motor replacement options for you.
Hot rooms, weak vents, AC running constantly. Often undersized returns in newer Prosper homes. We measure static pressure and tell you what's wrong.
No mystery. No upsell script. Here's the actual flow.
$95 diagnostic, waived with repair. Repair pricing varies by part and labor — capacitors are typically $200-$400 installed; refrigerant leaks and motor replacements are higher.
Often yes — same-day service when the calendar allows. For full emergencies (no AC in 100°+ heat, especially with health concerns), we run priority dispatch. Call (469) 213-8450.
Depends on age, refrigerant type, and the failure. R-22 systems get expensive fast. Systems over 12-15 years with major component failures often pencil out toward replacement.
Three common causes: dirty evaporator coil, low refrigerant, or restricted airflow (clogged filter, undersized ducts, blower issues). We thaw it safely and find the root cause — not just clean it and leave.
Every repair carries a written labor warranty, subject to the terms of the written service agreement provided at the time of repair. Parts carry the manufacturer's warranty.
