Warmer weather often means one thing for HVAC systems: seasonal startup failures. 🌡️⚡

One of the most common culprits? Failed capacitors.

After months of limited operation, aging or weakened capacitors can fail during the first major cooling demand of the season — leading to no-cool calls, hard starts, and system shutdowns. For adjusters, determining whether the failure stems from normal wear and tear or a sudden electrical event is key.

Zap Consulting provides objective HVAC evaluations to help carriers determine causation and support accurate claim decisions.

Not every water loss leads to HVAC damage — and thorough inspections make all the difference. 💧🔍

In this recent case, Zap Consulting evaluated multiple claimed gas-fired boiler systems following a bathroom plumbing leak. After comprehensive operational testing and physical inspection, all units were found fully functional with no evidence of water-related damage.

Objective evaluations help carriers separate verified damage from unaffected equipment — supporting accurate claim decisions and reducing unnecessary replacements.
