All very good suggestions! As an HVAC repair tech, I replace the contactor and capacitor every year on my unit. The cost for these two items is probably $40-$50. They are probably the two biggest weak links in the system. I also have a contract with a company that I believe my cost is around $50-$75 per inspection. I get three for that package deal. In my opinion, they don’t do a very good job of checking the system out, but they do the things they should do, which is cleaning out the condensate and checking other components. For that price, I’m not expecting much. I am supposed to be a priority customer if I have a need for service. I really only got this as I’m not down there all the time so if I have a problem, hopefully I have someone I can call. I also have a thermostat that I can view from my cell phone and adjust which allows me to see the temperature and humidity in the house. I try to keep my humidity 40% or lower.
