Understanding HVAC Capacitors: Their Role and Importance

What Is an HVAC Capacitor?

An HVAC capacitor is a critical component within your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Despite its small size, it plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth operation of motors and compressors. Let’s delve into what capacitors are and why they matter.

The Purpose of HVAC Capacitors

1. Starting Boost: When you switch on your HVAC system, the motor requires a sudden burst of energy to start up. Capacitors store this energy and release it to the motor in precise, regulated doses. This ensures that the motor runs smoothly and efficiently.
   
   
2. Voltage Stabilization: Capacitors stabilize voltage, assisting in starting and running motors effectively. They manage the flow of electricity to the system’s fan and compressor functions.
