Whenever we talk about why “do-it-yourself” isn’t an option when it comes to air conditioning repair, we mention just how complicated the modern AC is.

These are temporary parts that eventually wear down to the point that they’ll need a professional to replace them.

But even with this level of care, you may have an air conditioning system that suddenly won’t work because of failed capacitors or contactors.
