I have heard that Chuck Farrell is a good contractor, but he wouldn't be good enough for me to wait a week for him to show up while I had no air conditioning.

We've always had a maintenance contract with Sun Kool. They respond immediately and have saved our (hot) bacon three times in the last 7 years. They clean out the mold and change the filter. This week our capacitor went out. The part was under warranty but not the labor. However, since they had just been out in May for their semi-annual inspection, we had a $50 labor credit. Our total cost was $14. Some things are worth the cost. The unit has to be cleaned and maintained anyway, and I'm happy to have the pros do it.
