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.

Don't think we have dirty power, otherwise my neighbors would be having similar issues, right?
I watched him replace the run capacitor - he spent more time repacking the capacitor so the cover panel would fit than actually swapping the capacitors... I also remember when they added the start capacitor to the other unit - there was some difficulty in getting the cover back on. Took quite a while for the tech to do that, because that was the smaller unit. Now, what he attached the wires to I have no idea. Initial thought is to take the cover off of the unit with the start capacitor and just mimic that setup on the unit that needs the start capacitor. Every time they worked on the units they pulled the fuses but I never saw them discharge anything. |
