Capacitors are a common and relatively inexpensive failure point on many central and mini-split air conditioning systems. The capacitors in your AC system help to provide the compressor with the juice it needs to start, and they also smooth the flow of power while it's in operation. Blown capacitors can stop your system from starting or cause it to shut down prematurely.
While capacitor failure isn't uncommon on older systems, it's not normal to need to replace your capacitors frequently.
The heating system in your home will reach a point where it will need to be replaced and upgraded. While this is a project that most homeowners will eventually need to do, they may find themselves poorly informed and ill-prepared to oversee this particular home improvement project.
