Default Central A/C repair vs. replace

Yeah and since the tech came yesterday, now I know it ain't gonna run no matter how many caps you connect to it! :^(

Time for a new system... ugh.

Do you know how completely ridiculous *that* sounds?

A "start" cap is paired with a relay, is in the circuit when starting,

then
when the motor's up to speed the relay opens and current no longer flows
through the cap.

A "run" cap is in the circuit all the time, which is the case with my

unit.

Well, you knew the difference. :-)
