I was called to a home to inspect a system that was not cooling. Upon arrival, I found that the system had no 240v going to the outside unit. I inspected the outside unit and found a defective capacitor. I replaced the capacitor and turned on the breaker, but the system still did not have 240v. I inspected the compressor and found a defective compressor. The compressor was ready 170ohms. The customer was not available, so I had to wait for her to call me. I called the customer's neighbor to help me get in. We found that the customer's neighbor had the same issue and had already replaced the capacitor. We will need to contact the customer as soon as possible to give her the option of replacing the compressor. The capacitor is included with the compressor, but the customer will have to pay for the breaker.
