Just need some info/guidance on "maintenance" versus upgrades. Once of our AC units quit last night and I had the company come out today to diagnose/repair. They are just under 5 years old and we are the original owners.

I have to say, my home units have never needed that. I had a leak once, but other than that they have been basically maintenance free. What brand do you have? I've found the Trane units to be very good. It's possble that you have some very dirty power in your area. If these capacitors are dying, maybe they are under sized?
