Regardless who you use, I recommend swapping out the Made In China capacitor with one made in the USA. These usually are the first things to fail.

I recommend AMRAD

Motor-Run Capacitors – The Leading Manufacturer of Motor-Run Capacitors

Also have them replace the contactor every 5 years or so. It is very cheap to do.

And if you want to extend the life of your compressor, look into

EasyStart 364 (3-ton) Single Phase Soft Starter for Air Conditioners – Micro-Air, Inc..

It reduces inrush current and provides more fault checks for compressor protection.
