Default Expensive capacitor

Owner of the company came out - same people that installed the now 10 yr
old Lennox system.


As long as he'd come out I asked if he'd give the system a check. He
did and measured the refrigerant level and found it within specs as I
figured it would be. While inside the unit he spied the capacitor of
which you speak. "Looks kinda grungy, let me check it." Out comes the
test equipment and "It's on its last legs. Might as well replace it and
save a service call later this summer or beginning of next year."

Go for it.

He was out at the house for about an hour all told. The total bill was
$98.00

When you find someone like that, yo keep them. If you ever need a new
unit, I know who you will call.
