Q: Is it OK to run an AC with a bad capacitor?

• <div><p>While your AC unit may still run even if its capacitor is going bad, doing so takes a lot more energy, so it can drive up your electric bill and cause further damage to your AC unit&rsquo;s parts. If you suspect a bad capacitor, it&rsquo;s important to have a professional diagnose and fix the problem before you continue to run your AC.</p></div>

Q: How do you know when your HVAC is going bad?

• <div><p>Aside from needing HVAC repair, there are times when you may need to replace your unit. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/insider-s-price-guide-new-heating-and-cooling-system.htm">HVAC replacement costs</a> <b>$5,000 to $12,500</b>. Here are some telltale signs that your HVAC unit is going bad:</p><ul><li><p>Your unit is 10 years or older.</p></li><li><p>Your home is very humid.</p></li><li><p>The unit keeps cycling without producing cool air.</p></li><li><p>You need to repair the unit frequently.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can a whole-house dehumidifier save money?

• <div><p>Yes. Getting a whole-house dehumidifier can help you save money on energy bills. How? Your home automatically feels cooler when there&rsquo;s less humidity in the air (&ldquo;It&rsquo;s the humidity that gets ya!&rdquo; is such a true statement). This means that you won&rsquo;t need to run your AC as much as you would if you had all that extra humidity in your home.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a window A/C unit?

• <div><p>To keep a window air conditioner in good working order, you should clean the filter regularly, inspect the seals, and store the unit properly during the off-season.</p></div>

Q: Can I stay in my home if there's a coolant leak?

• <div><p>While it's generally safe to stay in a home with a coolant leak if your home is properly ventilated, it's important to have a professional come out to assess the situation right away. You should evacuate your home if you notice any powerful fumes. Additionally, you should leave your home if you are experiencing headaches or dizziness.</p></div>
