Why capacitors?
Run capacitors are the single most common AC failure in San Diego. They degrade slowly, a 45 microfarad capacitor might read 42, then 38, then 31, then dead. A multimeter reading catches it before it fails on the hottest day. Replacement is a cheap part; an August emergency call is not.
Do I need a tune-up if the system seems fine?
'Seems fine' misses degradation. A system short on refrigerant by 10% still cools but draws more amps, stresses the compressor, and runs up your bill. A dirty condenser coil can cut efficiency 15% with no audible symptom. Tune-ups find what you cannot hear.
