Failed capacitors on systems under 10 years old
Why it happens here
Central Florida summers push capacitors to their thermal limit, and the frequent short cycling common in oversized Innovation Way systems wears them out faster. A capacitor that reads below its rated microfarad value will eventually strand the compressor.
Our approach
We test capacitors under load with a multimeter on every diagnostic, not just when the system fails. If the reading is within 10% of the rated value, we note it and monitor. If it is out of spec, we replace it on the spot from truck stock.
