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.

http://highperformancehvac.com/capacitors.html http://www.arnoldservice.com/air_conditioning_parts.htm http://www.action-electronics.com/capac.htm - Most from $2 to $10. Most larger single phase electric motors have start/run capacitors, and they're usually an order of magnitude cheaper than $200, and probably takes 2 minutes to replace once you get the cover off (make sure you discharge it first! High Voltage!). My little drill press with 1/2 hp motor has one as well... A. |
