If yoiu've never replaced one, it can be a bit daunting.

Ours crapped out on a Friday afternoon last July.

Sunshine Air Conditioning was able to hava a tech at my house within a few hours. He showed me how to replace the Capacitor, and told me which one to but to have on hand if it happens agasin/

I figured I paid for the repair AND for the lesson on how to fix it the next time it happens...
