AC Capacitor Replacement Sha’am

Common signs of a failing capacitor include AC not starting, humming sounds without the unit turning on, intermittent shutdowns, weak airflow, or the compressor struggling to start. You may also notice a bulging or leaking capacitor during visual inspection. Our technicians in Sha’am can quickly diagnose capacitor issues.

AC capacitor replacement in Sha’am typically costs AED 200-350 depending on the capacitor type. Run capacitors start from AED 200, start capacitors from AED 250, and dual run capacitors from AED 350. This includes diagnosis, the capacitor itself, and professional installation by our licensed technicians.

Yes! All our capacitor replacements come with a comprehensive 1-year warranty on workmanship and 6 months on the capacitor itself. We use only high-quality, branded capacitors that meet OEM specifications. If the capacitor fails within the warranty period, we'll replace it free of charge.

We replace all types of AC capacitors including run capacitors, start capacitors, dual run capacitors, and motor run capacitors. Our service covers capacitors for split AC, central AC, window units, and package units from all major brands like Samsung, LG, Daikin, Carrier, and O General.

A standard AC capacitor replacement typically takes 30-45 minutes. This includes diagnosis, safely discharging the old capacitor, installation of the new capacitor, and testing the AC unit to ensure proper operation. For multiple units or complex systems, allow 1-2 hours for complete service.

Yes, a failing capacitor can cause serious damage to your AC system if not addressed promptly. A weak capacitor forces the compressor and fan motors to work harder, leading to overheating and potential motor burnout. In Sha’am's hot climate, this can quickly escalate into expensive repairs. Early capacitor replacement prevents costly damage.

The extreme heat in Sha’am is the primary reason for capacitor failures. Capacitors are rated for specific temperatures, and prolonged exposure to high heat degrades the internal components faster. Power fluctuations, age, and continuous AC operation during summer months also contribute to premature capacitor failure.

While capacitors can be purchased separately, we strongly advise against DIY replacement. Capacitors store electrical charge and can deliver a dangerous shock even when the power is off. Professional technicians know how to safely discharge capacitors and ensure proper installation with correct ratings. Incorrect capacitor specs can damage your AC system.

Run capacitors operate continuously while the AC is running, providing consistent power to the motor. Start capacitors only work during the startup phase, giving the motor an extra power boost to begin operation. Some AC units use dual run capacitors that serve both the compressor and fan motor. Our technicians will identify exactly which capacitor your system needs.

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency capacitor replacement service across Sha’am. We understand that a failed capacitor means no cooling, which is unbearable in the UAE heat. Our technicians carry common capacitor sizes and can respond within 30-60 minutes for urgent calls. Emergency service has a 50% surcharge.
