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.

If you are frugal and a DIYer just buy a capacitor to have on hand. Buy a USA manufactured one ( $30-35 on Amazon). It is probably a 5/35 MFD. Or simply test the capacitance to see if it is close to failure (YouTube has how to videos). Also on YouTube you will find how to replace these. Or, if you really believe in PM, replace annually. That is what I do.
