I don't pay for annual AC checkups. The technician cannot tell you when the capacitor will fail, but if they are doing regular checkups, it should provide for periodic capacitor replacements, but they almost never do. The things they do does nothing to extend the life of your system or to prevent a failure. It is just a money maker for the company. To me, charging $225 to replace a capacitor during a regular checkup is a double charge and outrageous.
