40% increase??? nope. I religiously clean the drain line monthly, and we have an Aprilaire electrostatic air filter system. And I get those filters on Amazon and change myself every 6 months.

IF we have an issue (like the capacitor failing), is there a more economical local AC firm???

Just change it yourself, it takes less than 5 minutes. You can pull off the cover and look at it, it’s about the size of a European soft drink can. If it’s a little swollen, you will need one soon.

Just make sure to shut off the power before messing with anything. The power box is usually right next to the unit on the wall. If you start pulling wires you need to discharge it by shorting terminals with a screwdriver. The shock is no fun. Also take a picture with your phone so you know where the wires are.
