Hoss50 Report post Posted March 8, 2018 The furnace would have a separate capacitor for the motor. Replace that capacitor and see if you are still having issues. A hard start has nothing to do with a furnace normally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted March 8, 2018 Do you have a Rooftop AC unit with gas or a separate furnace. Older homes had an upright furnace usually mounted off the hall and the return is in the bottom as is the fan. I have seen them caked with dust to the point where they barley run. Not to hard to pull the fan and motor out to clean if your the least bit handy with tools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted March 9, 2018 Mines a roof mount with furnace in the closet. It's fairly clean and has filters. Think it's just time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
