KAC Express

Your AC capacitor is a $15 part.

So why does the repair quote say $300? 🤔

We get this question every single week from Spring TX homeowners and honestly, it's a fair one.

Here's what you're actually paying for in a fair $220–$260 capacitor replacement:

✅ The part ($15–$60) ✅ A licensed HVAC tech's time (15–30 min) ✅ Safe discharging of the old capacitor (it holds 400+ volts even with your AC off) ✅ A 2-year warranty on the work ✅ Someone who's liable if something goes wrong

Anything over $500? Usually padded fees, a "hard start kit" upsell you don't need, or franchise overhead getting passed to you.

Last week we replaced a capacitor for a family in Augusta Pines for $245 after they'd been quoted $625 by a big national chain. Same job. Same 30 minutes.

Since 2008, we've kept our pricing honest for one reason: it's how we've earned 400+ five-star reviews right here in Spring TX.

If your AC won't start, is humming without kicking on, or is blowing warm air call us before saying yes to that $600 quote. Free second opinions, always.

💡 Weekend HVAC Tip: Don't Ignore a Dirty Air Filter

A clean air filter is one of the easiest ways to keep your HVAC system running efficiently. During the cooling season, check your air filter every 30–60 days and replace it if it looks dirty.

A clean filter can help:
✅ Improve indoor airflow
✅ Reduce strain on your AC system
✅ Lower energy costs
✅ Support better indoor air quality
✅ Help extend the life of your HVAC system

If your home still feels warm even with a clean filter, it may be time for a professional inspection.
