I posted on the other thread, but I wasn't with the majority paying $130, I paid $80, but it was actually $85 since I now have my invoice in front of me. Regardless of the price wholesale, retail, Amazon, you shouldn't of paid anything for the part if the unit is less than 10 years old. How come a third party like Chuck Farrell knows that the part is under 10 year warranty but Munn's who installed the unit charged you for the part.

I didn't call Munn's because I was buying my filters from Amazon, last time was 3 for $35 plus $10 shipping. I asked my neighbor how much he paid for filters, he said he called Munn's and they looked at his unit and replaced the filter and charged him $150. I thought that seemed high, and that I would call Chuck Farrell since he had so many great reviews on this website and that is going back years.

The tech opened the inside unit and checked around and brushed off the coils. He then went outside and looked at the that unit and checked the freon and eventually said it's the capacitor. He replaced it and wrote on the invoice date 6-17-2015 "replaced blown/swelled capacitor 40/5 UF covered by warranty 10 years" and the charge was $85 labor.
