Capacitors

Mobile home capacitors play a crucial role in ensuring HVAC systems run smoothly by storing and releasing electrical energy into the HVAC system. Start capacitors help to start the motors and fans. Run capacitors ensure smooth operation, which extends the lifespan of the entire HVAC system. When replacing a capacitor for your mobile home HVAC system, match the requirements given by the system's motor. At American Supply, our capacitors come in different shapes and sizes to ensure a perfect fit into your furnace or air conditioning system. 

Capacitors for AC & Furnace

At American Supply, we carry different types of mobile home capacitors, including:

• Run Capacitors - Also known as single-run capacitors, keep a single motor functioning.
• Dual Run Capacitors - run two motors. One capacitor for both the compressor and condenser motors.

We also carry oval and round capacitors. Both types work in the same way; however, the round capacitors are more common in both AC and furnace units. Oval capacitors are used in tighter, more compact spaces. 

Replacing Your Mobile Home Capacitor

There will be signs if your mobile home capacitor needs to be replaced. The first & easiest to recognize is if the air is no longer cold. Another sign to look for is a swollen capacitor or one that is leaking oil. If you are unsure what to look for, call your trusty HVAC technician. They can easily do a sweep of your system and let you know if your capacitor needs to be replaced. 

If the AC capacitor needs to be replaced, it is important that you call a professional. Since the main purpose of a capacitor is to store and hold energy, it can hold a charge, even if it is no longer working properly. Replacing this can be extremely dangerous if not done properly.
