HVAC Components We Repair & Replace, Georgetown TX
Motors & Fans
Diagnose and repair indoor blower motor failures, bearing wear, winding failure, and capacitor issues.
Replace failed indoor blower motors, we stock common motors for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem.
Lubricate blower motor bearings before they fail, catches motors that squeal before they burn out.
Clean blower wheels coated with dust and debris that reduce airflow and strain the motor.
Repair or replace condenser fan motors, outdoor fan failure causes compressor overheating on Georgetown's 100°F days.
Diagnose and repair outdoor condenser fan motor failures, common cause of AC shutdown in peak summer heat.
Replace cracked, bent, or imbalanced outdoor fan blades causing vibration and motor strain.
Capacitors & Contactors
The #1 Georgetown summer repair. Capacitors overheat and fail in sustained 100°F+ heat, fast, affordable fix.
Test capacitors before replacing, an out-of-spec capacitor causes the same symptoms as a failed compressor.
Replace failed run capacitors on compressors and fan motors, the most common summer AC component failure.
Replace start capacitors that provide the extra torque needed to start compressors on hot days.
Install hard start kits on aging compressors to reduce starting current and extend compressor life.
Replace pitted or failed contactors, the relay that connects power to the compressor and condenser fan.
Replace AC contactors with pitted contacts that cause intermittent power to compressor and outdoor fan.
Compressor Service
Diagnose compressor failures, not every compressor problem requires replacement. We test before recommending replacement.
Compressor replacement with full circuit flush, filter drier, evacuation, and recharge, done correctly to protect the new compressor.
Replace discharge mufflers that reduce compressor noise and protect the refrigerant circuit.
Install crankcase heaters to prevent refrigerant migration into compressor oil during cold Texas nights.
Replace failed high-pressure safety switches that protect compressors from dangerously high discharge pressure.
Replace low-pressure safety switches that prevent compressor damage from loss of refrigerant charge.
Furnace Components
Replace failed high-limit switches that shut furnaces down on overheating, essential safety component.
Replace faulty furnace control boards, we test all connected components first to confirm the board is the failure.
Repair or replace fan control switches that govern blower timing in older furnaces without electronic control boards.
Replace fragile silicon carbide or silicon nitride ignitors, the #1 furnace no-heat repair in Georgetown.
Replace or clean flame sensors that fail to detect the burner flame, causing furnace lockout.
Replace failed gas valves that prevent gas flow to burners, verified diagnosis before replacement.
Replace thermocouples on older standing pilot furnaces that fail to keep the pilot lit.
Replace tripped rollout switches, but also diagnose why flames rolled out, as this indicates a serious underlying condition.
Replace failed draft inducer motors in 80%+ efficiency furnaces, failure causes pressure switch trips and no-heat conditions.
Replace failed heating elements in electric furnaces, test all elements and sequencers before partial replacement.
Replace failed sequencers that stagger heating element startup to prevent circuit overload.
Replace cracked or blocked pilot tubing on older standing pilot furnaces and boilers.
Repair standing pilot assembly issues on older furnaces, thermocouple, pilot orifice, and gas valve.
Replace corroded or leaking main gas shutoff valves at HVAC equipment.
Outdoor Unit & Noise Components
Install compressor sound blankets to reduce outdoor unit noise, particularly useful in Georgetown's zero-lot-line neighborhoods.
Replace deteriorated equipment pads and isolation mounts that transmit vibration through slabs and walls.
Giving an Aging Compressor Extra Starting Torque
A hard start kit adds a start capacitor and a current-sensing potential relay to a compressor circuit that originally used only a run capacitor for starting assistance. The added start capacitor delivers a brief, much stronger jolt of starting torque during the initial moment the compressor motor engages, and the potential relay then disconnects that start capacitor from the circuit within a fraction of a second once the motor reaches operating speed, since leaving a start capacitor continuously energized would quickly overheat it.
This upgrade makes the most sense in a few specific situations: an aging compressor whose internal mechanical resistance has increased slightly with wear, making the standard run capacitor's starting torque marginal rather than comfortably adequate, a system with an unusually long refrigerant line run between the indoor and outdoor units, which increases the pressure differential the compressor has to overcome on startup, or a household on the edge of a service where visible light dimming occurs briefly every time the AC compressor kicks on, a hard start kit reduces that inrush current draw and the resulting voltage sag.
We diagnose whether a hard start kit is appropriate by measuring the compressor's actual starting amperage, locked rotor amps, against its rated specification, and by checking supply voltage during a start attempt to quantify any sag. A compressor drawing meaningfully elevated locked rotor amperage relative to spec, especially paired with a hesitant or delayed start, hums for a moment before catching, is a good candidate for a hard start kit as a way to extend its remaining service life rather than replacing the compressor outright.
Installation involves wiring the potential relay and start capacitor into the existing circuit alongside the run capacitor, verifying the relay's pickup and dropout voltage settings are correctly matched to the system's specific run capacitor and compressor combination, and confirming after installation that starting amperage has measurably improved and that the start capacitor is properly disconnecting once the compressor reaches run speed, a relay that fails to disconnect the start capacitor will quickly burn it out and can also stress the run capacitor and compressor motor.
It's worth being clear that a hard start kit is a targeted assist for a specific situation, not a universal upgrade every system benefits from, and we only recommend it after confirming the actual starting amperage and voltage data support it, rather than installing one reflexively on every service call.
