FAQ

Q1: What does an HVAC contactor do?
An HVAC contactor is an electromagnetic switch that controls power to major components like the compressor and condenser fan motor in your AC unit, activating them when cooling is needed.

Q2: How to tell if an HVAC contactor is bad?
Common signs include the outdoor unit not starting, a frequent clicking sound, visible burning/pitting on the contacts, or a loud humming noise from the contactor itself.

Q3: How much does it cost to replace a contactor on an AC unit?
Replacement typically costs between $150 and $400, including parts and professional labor. The part itself is often under $100, with most of the cost covering expert service.

Q4: What is the $5000 rule for HVAC?
It’s a guideline suggesting that if a repair cost multiplied by your system’s age exceeds $5,000, replacing the entire HVAC system is often more cost-effective than repairing it.
