BTW, I have a follow up question.
I am buying a
AO Smith DL1056 1/2 HP Direct Drive Blower Motor
motor, which needs a 10 mF capacitor (according to manufacturer's
specs),
but the AC guy put in a 7.5 mF cap.
Any reasons why he would do that other than that's what he had
available (because he had to make a special run to grainger anyway?



It will likely work, but it is almost certain he got that because it
was all that was available or because he thought it was the right animal
for the job.
